PR & Founder Communications Consultant

PR & Founder Communications Consultant (Fractional) About BlueServ BlueServ Technologies is an early-stage B2B technology company serving the water and wastewater utility industry. We are developing an AI-enabled workforce readiness and operational intelligence platform designed to help utilities address workforce shortages, knowledge transfer, and organizational readiness. We are entering an exciting stage of growth as we secure pilot projects with utilities and prepare for fundraising. We're looking for a communications professional who can help us translate that momentum into credibility with customers, investors, and industry stakeholders. What We're Looking For This is not a traditional press release role. We are looking for someone who can think strategically, identify compelling stories, build relationships with relevant media, and help establish both BlueServ and its founder as credible voices in the water infrastructure and utility technology sectors. Responsibilities • Develop a communications and media strategy aligned with our business milestones. • Create compelling narratives around utility pilot programs, partnerships, product development, and fundraising progress. • Identify and pitch stories to relevant trade publications, industry media, podcasts, and business outlets. • Build founder thought leadership through LinkedIn articles, posts, contributed content, interviews, and speaking opportunities. • Draft press releases, media pitches, articles, award submissions, and executive communications. • Advise on what should and should not be disclosed publicly, particularly around pilots, intellectual property, and fundraising. • Coordinate messaging across our website, investor materials, and social media. • Identify opportunities for conference speaking, podcast appearances, and industry recognition. Ideal Experience We're interested in professionals with experience in one or more of the following: • B2B technology • SaaS startups • Infrastructure or engineering • Water or wastewater • Utilities or energy • Climate technology • Founder communications • Executive thought leadership • Media relations Experience working with early-stage companies raising capital is a significant plus. What Success Looks Like Within the first 90 days, we'd like to establish: • A clear communications strategy • A compelling founder narrative • Consistent LinkedIn thought leadership • Media outreach to targeted industry publications • Coverage of pilot announcements where appropriate • Opportunities for podcast interviews, conference speaking, and contributed articles • A repeatable process for turning company milestones into public credibility Please Include in Your Proposal 1. A brief description of your relevant experience. 2. Examples of media coverage or thought leadership you've helped secure. 3. Links to articles, interviews, or publications you've placed. 4. Your specific role in achieving those results. 5. Your approach to building a founder's personal brand. 6. Your proposed monthly engagement and availability. To help us evaluate fit, please answer this question: "BlueServ secures a pilot with a water utility. How would you turn that single announcement into a 30-day communications campaign that builds credibility with both utilities and investors?" We're looking for thoughtful, strategic responses rather than generic PR proposals. This will begin as a three-month engagement with the potential for a long-term relationship if it's a strong fit.
