Job description

Company Description

Bospar in a nutshell

Just over five years ago, a few PR pros who liked working together started a virtual boutique tech PR agency. Fast-forward to 2020, and Bospar is now a "small" PR agency (we outgrew "boutique") with a roster of successful tech companies, more awards than we can easily track and 30+ hardworking and fun people. We all work remotely and are located across the U.S.

Job Description

Here's why talented people like working here, and why we rarely lose anyone

  • Cool, talented colleagues and a profitable, award-winning agency are the main ingredients of Bospar's recipe for success.

  • Everyone works remotely. Everyone. There's not even a single office - anywhere!

  • Great benefits, including fully paid medical, dental and vision including dependents; monthly wellness, phone and internet stipends; paid maternity/paternity leave; and lots of holidays and PTO

What would make Bosapr even better? Another awesome Assistant PR Account Executive.

Our account teams are closely knit, and we all do a little bit of everything to keep the clients happy. A key part of making everything work is the Assistant PR Account Executive. If we hired you tomorrow, you would soon be:

  • Conducting research on all kinds of things

  • Taking part in client calls and communication - including with the media

  • Building media lists and keeping everything we do up-to-date and accurate

  • Analyzing media coverage and working with the team to get the clients what they need

  • Participating in the new business process, including research and proposal preparation

Here is an Assistant PR Account Executive at Bospar

There are many job skills and personal qualities that our Assistant PR Account Executives possess. Chief among them is Hustle (yes, with a capital H!). It all starts with Hustle because that's what our clients and colleagues require to get the job done.

They also bring most of these things. They:

  • Solve problems and take responsibility

  • Have some experience as an Account Associate or similar role

  • Earned a bachelor's degree in PR, Communications, Marketing, English or a related field

  • Demonstrate flexibility, because it's PR, and priorities and deadlines change constantly

  • Play well with others
