Position: PR Account Manager
Posted by: Bridge Strategies
Location: NYC
Status: Full-Time
Bridge Global Strategies seeks a bilingual English-Japanese Account Manager with several years of public relations experience to join our staff full-time. While perfection in Japanese is not necessary, the individual we hire must be able to:
- Read Japanese at a high level (i.e., total comprehension of Japanese news articles), and
- Speak and write well enough to communicate clearly with our Japanese clients.
This position involves responsibility for day-to-day management of some client accounts, including PR strategy development and execution, both personally and through supervision of others’ work. Qualified candidates will also have:
- A sophisticated understanding of American PR principles and practices
- The ability to translate fairly quickly from one language to the other
- Proven media relations ability with U.S. and global English-language media
- Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
- Excellent spoken, and good written English skills
- B.A. degree
- 3-5 years of PR experience (could include a couple of years of journalism; could be in Japan)
- Strong cross-cultural understanding and awareness
- Must be self-motivated, an analytical thinker and display initiative and flexibility
Bridge Global Strategies is one of several boutique PR firms owned by integrated marketing company Didit.com, Inc. Our agency combines the best of both small firms and larger agencies: the individual we hire will work with senior professionals and have significant responsibility, get much broader exposure to a wide range of communications disciplines than would be possible at a narrow-track big agency, and receive “big-agency benefits” – including generous vacation time, health insurance and company match on retirement savings. Our Manhattan office in midtown south is an informal, cheerful place to work and our new staff member will be an important member of the team.
In addition to sending a resume, interested candidates should provide a cover letter in Japanese describing the biggest challenge they have met in their work so far, and how the challenge was overcome. Reply to hr@didit.com.
