We are looking for a highly persistent, resourceful, and street-smart Guest PR Executive to bring exceptional guests. Your primary responsibility will be to identify, approach, and secure high-profile individuals who can deliver valuable insights and compelling conversations to our audience. This role requires someone who knows how to get things done, build relationships from scratch, navigate gatekeepers, and turn a cold outreach into a confirmed podcast appearance.
Key Responsibilities
Identify and build a pipeline of high-profile guests, including iconic founders, CEOs, industry leaders, investors, and global experts. Develop and execute outreach strategies through email, LinkedIn, phone calls, referrals, and other relevant channels. Persistently follow up with potential guests, their PR teams, executive assistants, and management teams to secure confirmations. Build and maintain strong relationships with influential individuals, publicists, talent managers, and industry networks. Research prospective guests thoroughly and develop compelling, personalised pitches explaining why they should appear on the Think School podcast. Coordinate guest scheduling, communication, and pre-interview requirements with the internal podcast team. Track outreach efforts, response rates, follow-ups, and confirmed appearances to maintain a healthy guest pipeline. Continuously explore creative ways to access high-profile guests who may initially be difficult to reach. Requirements 2+ years of experience in PR, influencer relations, guest booking, media outreach, talent management, business development, or a similar role. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Strong persuasion, negotiation, and relationship-building abilities. High levels of persistence, initiative, and resourcefulness. Ability to think creatively, navigate gatekeepers, and find unconventional ways to reach decision-makers. Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple outreach conversations simultaneously. A genuine interest in Think School's vision of building India's leading business podcast. What Success Looks Like Consistently securing high-quality guests who elevate the podcast's credibility and reach. Building a strong, long-term pipeline of influential guests. Improving outreach effectiveness and guest conversion rates. Expanding Think School's access to leading voices across business, finance, entrepreneurship, and geopolitics. If you thrive on making the seemingly impossible happen and believe that no meaningful connection is out of reach, we'd love to hear from you.
