Zen Media PR Associate

PR Associate/Client Deliverables
US/ Must work according to ET time zone

Must have "Writing" experience

Contractor type of work
About the Role:

Zen Media is hiring PR Associates to support our flagship product, Published Monthly™. This role is focused on execution, client communication, and task management. You will be responsible for moving client deliverables through a structured workflow (SOP-driven) and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

This is a detail-oriented, process-first position. You will not be asked to invent PR strategy or pitch tier-1 media — instead, your role is to ensure consistency, quality, and on-time delivery across accounts.
Key Responsibilities:
Client-Facing Duties

- Serve as the day-to-day contact for Published Monthly™ clients.

- Conduct onboarding interviews (collect bios, headshots, logos, ICPs, goals).

- Deliver content pillar, prompt, and subreddit reports for client validation.

- Share AI Visibility Layer instructions after each article is published and confirm client implementation.

- Send monthly light coverage reports (CoverageBook PDF + preview of upcoming work).

- Package and deliver quarterly AI Visibility Reports (with manager oversight).

- Join quarterly client calls to review visibility results and recommendations.

Internal Execution & Tracking

- Maintain client status in Monday.com (deliverables, health, open issues, upsell opportunities).

- Log client confirmations, delays, or missing items in the system.

- Ensure AI Visibility Layer instructions are sent within 3 business days of publication.

- Track publication status → from draft → submission → live → instructions delivered.

- Escalate risks (e.g., missed deadlines, unresponsive clients, visibility issues) to PR Manager.

Quality Assurance

- Review AI-generated drafts before submission:
- Verify working links.

- Run AI-detection check (must show 0% flagged as AI-written).

- Check tone, clarity, grammar, and client alignment.

- QA reports and client updates before delivery.

- Ensure version control in Google Drive (naming conventions, final versions).

Required Skills:

- Excellent English writing and communication skills.

- Strong organizational and project management abilities.

- Detail-oriented with a QA-first mindset.

- Ability to follow structured SOPs precisely.

- Proficiency with Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive).

- Comfortable using Monday.com (or ability to learn quickly).

Preferred Skills:

- 1–2 years of experience in PR, communications, marketing coordination, or similar.

- Exposure to PR tools (CoverageBook, wire distribution) a plus.

- Familiarity with SEO, AI tools, or digital publishing is helpful.

Performance Metrics:

- 100% on-time delivery of Published Monthly™ SOP tasks.

- All client communication logged and tracked in Monday.

- AI Visibility Layer instructions delivered and confirmed for every placement.

- Drafts and reports pass QA with zero client-facing errors.

- Positive client feedback on responsiveness and clarity.

Career Path:

- Entry-level role with potential to grow into PR Manager or Client Success Manager.

- High performers will eventually oversee Junior PR pods and manage multiple accounts directly.
