Their work directly supports proactive media outreach, thought leadership initiatives, and ongoing client visibility.

- Hands-on experience working in U.S. Public Relations, Communications, or Media Relations.
- The ability to recognize what makes a story newsworthy in the U.S. market.

- Strong research, writing, and organizational skills.
- Exceptional attention to detail and follow-through.
- The ability to manage multiple deadlines with minimal supervision.
- A proactive mindset with curiosity about industries, emerging trends, and media opportunities.

- Existing familiarity with American media outlets, journalists, and editorial processes.
- Experience building media lists and supporting earned media campaigns.
- Strong understanding of the U.S. business landscape and client communication expectations.
- The ability to contribute immediately with minimal ramp-up or training.

Location Preference: While we welcome qualified applicants from diverse backgrounds, preference will be given to candidates who are U.S.-based or have extensive professional experience working directly within the U.S. PR industry, as this role requires a nuanced understanding of American clients, business culture, and media relations.

Success Metrics

- Accurate, timely research and media tracking.
- Proactive identification of relevant media opportunities and thought leadership initiatives.
- Reliable execution across assigned client accounts.
- Strong organization, communication, and accountability.
- Ability to contribute strategic insights that reflect a deep understanding of the U.S. media landscape.

Candidates with demonstrated U.S. PR experience, strong American market acumen, and an intuitive understanding of U.S. client expectations will be prioritized.

This role requires more than excellent English—it requires understanding how U.S. businesses communicate, how American media operates, and how to build relationships that generate meaningful media coverage.
