It's a strong team in itself but the company is totally account led, by comms folks that have varying degrees of respect or even understanding of project management as a whole. Not sure if you have any experience in comms / pr agencies but it's different than traditional ad shops. It requires a constant education and defense of project management as a discipline.

Account led means burnout. There will be problems as a PM. Interview at agencies or go client side. Where they respect PMs for owning process. As well as pays them well. Ex: Account will promise things all the time. Not only in Q4.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
