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
