PR Manager | Senior

WHAT WE'RE BUILDING

We need someone who can work with media hands-on: build relationships, react quickly to relevant news cycles, and turn product context into placements, comments, and stories.

A large part of the work will involve liberal Russian-speaking and international media, especially outlets operating from outside Russia. Taste, speed, and judgment all matter here.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

CORE REQUIREMENTS

• Fluent Russian and English (B2+)
• 4+ years in PR, media relations, or editorial special projects
• A proven publication track record with concrete case studies
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• Ability to prepare comments quickly against a live news agenda
• Good understanding of how media organizations decide what to publish

NICE-TO-HAVE

• Existing journalist or editor relationships
• Experience relevant to digital products
• Experience developing a PR strategy for digital products

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

EXECUTION

• Build and maintain relationships with liberal Russian-speaking and international media, mostly operating from outside Russia
• Prepare comments and background material for editorial teams and PR partners
• Write and distribute press releases, contributed pieces, and other PR materials
• Initiate placements, find strong story angles, and turn product context into news hooks

PLANNING AND RISK

• Monitor the news cycle and respond quickly to events that are relevant to us
• Plan PR activity and maintain clear reporting
• Map where relationships already exist and where they need to be built from scratch
• Increase share of voice without creating unnecessary reputational risk
