Public Relations Assistant

Before applying to this job, please have work references and pass your background check.

Also, please state if you have public relations or publicity experience.

I’m a publicist working with a variety of clients and campaigns. I’m looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented PR Assistant based in the Philippines to support editorial outreach and list building. You’ll help pitch media contacts, manage communications in ClickUp, and support other essential admin and research tasks.

This is NOT a creative writing role. All pitch copy will be provided. Your role is to help execute outreach efficiently, accurately, and with care.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Editorial Outreach & Research
• Use Excel sheets to send individual PR emails from a provided company email address — no blasts, no AI writing
• Personalize each email by inserting the correct first name and media outlet
• Conduct online research to find contact information for journalists (Google, social platforms, or byline digging)
• Work with Cision and Muckrack platforms to help build and update media lists (training provided if needed)

List Building & Data Entry
• Create and maintain organized Excel media lists, ensuring accuracy
• Tag and categorize contacts based on beat, region, outlet, etc.
• Maintain up-to-date contact information in ClickUp and spreadsheets

Task Management
• Use ClickUp daily to manage and complete assigned tasks
• Track deadlines and deliverables to ensure timely follow-through
• Maintain clean task records and notes within ClickUp for team visibility

REQUIREMENTS
• Based in the Philippines
• Proficient in written and spoken English with excellent grammar
• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel, Outlook, and Office Suite
• Familiar with (or willing to learn) ClickUp
• Absolutely no use of AI or ChatGPT for writing pitches or communication
• Self-motivated with the ability to prioritize, multi-task, and meet deadlines consistently
• Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision
• Experience with PR platforms like Cision or Muckrack is a plus, but not required

WORK STYLE
• Detail-obsessed and professional in tone and communication
• You must enjoy organization, outreach, and research—not just social media
• Respect for confidentiality and client media strategies
• Willingness to receive feedback and grow in the role
