Senior PR Manager

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
