The "Children-Butterflies" Charity Foundation is looking for a Head of PR Department who will initially take on the coordination of the department's current work and gradually be able to fully manage the foundation's communication direction.
"Children-Butterflies" is one of the largest charitable foundations in Russia, which for over 15 years has been developing a system of assistance for people with rare genetic skin diseases. The foundation operates in 89 regions of Russia and the CIS countries, develops medical, social, scientific, and educational projects, interacts with the government, medical and scientific communities, businesses, and partners.
Responsibilities:
- Coordinate the team's work, form an overall plan, distribute tasks, and monitor deadlines;
- Develop and control the foundation's PR and content plan, integrating the work of media, social networks, events, and partner projects into a unified communication agenda;
- Ensure the foundation's regular presence in the media: find news hooks, develop existing relationships with editorial offices, initiate publications, interviews, comments, and other formats;
- Be responsible for the external promotion of the foundation's chairperson: form a pool of expert topics, look for opportunities for publications, comments, interviews, and speeches;
- Provide communication support for the foundation's key projects — regional programs, opening of Genetic Dermatosis Centers, business, partnership, and fundraising events;
- Develop cooperation with brands and companies, initiate joint PR projects, and coordinate their implementation from the foundation's side;
- Track work results: media presence, development of own channels, implementation of the communication plan — and based on them, propose next steps;
- Initially, the main focus of the position is the foundation's current communication work, team coordination, and the development of the foundation's chairperson's public positioning. As you immerse yourself in the work, it is expected that a larger part of the communication direction will be gradually transferred and its priorities will be independently formed.
Requirements:
- At least 4 years of experience in PR and communications;
- Mandatory experience in independently managing a communication direction or a large block of communications;
- Experience in coordinating a team and several parallel projects;

- Systematic approach, independence, and ability to bring agreements and projects to completion.
Will be an advantage:
- Experience working in NGOs, social, medical, or other socially significant projects;
- Experience working with federal and business media and television;
- Experience with partner projects and collaborations with brands;
- Experience in promoting top executives;
- Understanding of web and media analytics.
Company offers:
- A position with the opportunity to gradually expand the scope of responsibility and influence the foundation's communication strategy;
- Work in one of Russia's largest foundations in the field of rare diseases;
- Medical, social, scientific, and charitable agenda;
- Participation in federal and international projects;
- Interaction with media, business, expert community, government, and public organizations;
