IKRA is looking for a PR Manager to take charge of external communications, partnerships, and PR project implementation.
We need not just someone who can negotiate publications and speeches. We are looking for an independent manager capable of identifying a suitable opportunity for IKRA, assessing its potential, building a project with the team, and bringing it to a measurable result.
What you will be doing
Develop PR and Partnerships
- Receive and analyze incoming proposals: speeches, conferences, publications, collaborations, and special projects.
- Evaluate platforms based on audience, reputation, relevance to IKRA's PR themes, and commercial potential.
- Independently search for conferences, media, brands, and partners.
- Propose topics for speeches, publications, collaborations, and joint projects.
- Prepare and distribute press releases about IKRA's news and projects.
- Maintain relationships with partners and follow up on promising contacts.
Manage PR Projects
- Manage projects from initial contact to completion.
- Formulate plans, tasks, deadlines, and areas of responsibility.
- Coordinate partners, speakers, and contractors.
- Organize meetings, technical rehearsals, and material preparation.
- Oversee contracts, documents, payments, and budgets.
- Verify the readiness of the venue, equipment, presentations, links, and handouts.
- Ensure all participants receive up-to-date information in a timely manner.
Work with Speakers and Content
- Select a suitable curator or speaker based on the request.
- Conduct briefings and organize preparation.
- Help structure the presentation: objective, audience, key points, practical application, conclusion, and connection to IKRA's products.
- Adapt existing material for the platform without turning every presentation into unpaid customization.
- Monitor deadlines, engagement, and the scope of paid speaker work.
- Save successful presentations and materials for reuse.
Control External Materials
- Review presentations, Miro boards, handouts, and other materials visible to the external audience.
- Ensure consistency in logic, language, visual style, and adherence to the IKRA brand.
- Provide the team with up-to-date templates and links.
- Help maintain a unified brand voice across different communication formats.
Turn PR into New Opportunities
- Identify the commercial potential of speeches, publications, and partnerships.
- Determine if a contact can evolve into a special project, training, new presentation, or long-term collaboration.
- Collect contacts and feedback after events.
- Follow up with partners and participants.
- Hand over warm leads to sales and document further steps.
- Propose relevant transitions to IKRA's available products after PR activities.
Evaluate Results
- Maintain a registry of PR activities, partners, and platforms.
- Record reach, contacts, leads, agreements, and continuations.
- Assess which conferences and formats are worth repeating.
- Gather photos, testimonials, links, and results for future case studies.
- Prepare a short monthly report: what was done, what was achieved, and how relationships are developing further.
What kind of person are we looking for
- Experience in PR, partnerships, special projects, conferences, or event/project management.
- Ability to independently manage multiple projects without losing track of agreements.
- Capacity to evaluate not only platform reach but also its suitability for the brand and business objectives.
- Skill in communicating with speakers, executives, partners, and contractors.
- Ability to edit the structure of a presentation, a presentation deck, or external text.
- Comfort with documents, budgets, payments, and organizational routines.
- Ability to gently yet persistently secure responses and adherence to deadlines.
- Sees the next step after an event, rather than considering a publication or speech the final result.
- Writes grammatically correctly and understands the brand's tone of voice.
- Can work independently in situations where there isn't a ready-made instruction for every scenario.
Work format
- Full-time employment.
- Significant autonomy and direct interaction with IKRA's management, curators, and partners.
- Requirement to attend select in-person events and technical rehearsals.
- Terms and work format are discussed individually.
