Job description
Role overview
Inspired Interiors is a Chicago-based interior design and architecture firm with two additional ventures: a luxury vacation rental brand and a spa brand that is preparing to launch. The business already has dedicated support for blogging, Pinterest, LinkedIn, content creation, website design, and SEO. This opportunity is for someone who will take charge of the overall marketing and PR direction across all three brands.
The right person will shape the strategy, develop the story angles, secure media coverage, and guide outside specialists who handle the production work. This is a contractor position suited to an experienced operator who prefers owning the function rather than filling a full-time role.
Employment details

- Part-time schedule of about 15 hours each week
- Fully remote work setup
- Ready-to-start-now availability is required
- Compensation will be based on experience

- Create and lead the marketing and PR direction for all three businesses

Performance expectations
- A minimum of one meaningful media placement each month
- Ideal target of two publication placements per month across the brands
- Steady growth in the digital presence of each business
Must-have background
- At least 10 years of experience leading marketing strategy and operations, not only execution

- Experience working with luxury clients in fields such as premium retail, hospitality, travel, fashion, lifestyle, or design
- A current network of luxury media and press contacts that can be activated right away

- A degree in marketing, communications, or public relations
- Experience building strategy from the ground up and directing teams or freelancer networks
- Comfort using HubSpot, Google Workspace, Trello, Loom, and time-tracking tools
- Strong self-management, dependability, and responsiveness
Not a fit for this role
- Applicants focused on content production rather than strategy direction
- People expecting a ready-made strategy instead of creating one
- Candidates who have only coordinated social media without owning PR or overall strategy
- Generalist PR professionals whose background is mainly in healthcare, insurance, or politics rather than luxury
- Anyone seeking a full-time position
- People who are slow to respond or disappear for long periods
Application instructions
Applicants should send a resume, published work or press links, and references. All three will be reviewed.
