About The Position

We're looking for a public relations specialist for a short-term, three-month gig to help support our public relations team at KPS3. In this role, you'll develop public relations materials and reports that align with clients' strategies and goals. You'll work closely with the PR team to produce high-quality deliverables that are engaging, well-researched and informative. Candidates must be local to the Reno-Tahoe-Carson area. You'll take on projects that span a variety of client industries and require collaboration with other KPS3 divisions. A typical week may include researching media and influencers, writing a press release and incorporating feedback, participating in an internal meeting to collaborate on an upcoming client announcement, working with account teammates to prioritize deadlines, or developing a public relations report to show off our awesome results. We're a nimble team, and the right fit will be someone who can remain agile, stay organized and execute projects with consistency and polish. Pending business needs and employee performance, an opportunity to extend a contract or offer a full-time position is on the table. (And it's what we'd prefer, really!)
