Job description

Manager, PR & Social/Integrated Comms (Malaysia)

• Hybrid

As a Manager , you’ll lead client accounts and integrated campaigns across PR, digital, social, and KOL engagement — delivering both creative ideas and real business outcomes. You’ll be the main contact for your clients, trusted to manage strategy, execution, and relationships with confidence.

You’ll also guide and mentor junior team members, helping them grow while ensuring the quality of their work. Internally, you’ll collaborate across functions — from content and creative to strategy and digital — to drive cohesive, impactful campaigns that tell great stories and deliver results.

This is a role for someone who’s not just experienced — but ready to lead with clarity, take responsibility for the work, and elevate both clients and teams.

Your Responsibilities

Account & Project Management

Take full ownership of your client accounts — ensuring work aligns with agreed scope, objectives, timelines, and budget

Lead internal and client WIP meetings — set direction, assign responsibilities, and keep momentum going

Ensure all client-facing materials (reports, content, updates) are accurate, timely, and aligned to KPIs

Oversee campaign execution across earned, owned, and social channels, working hands-on with team members to deliver quality and consistency

Lead coordination with third-party partners — from digital vendors to event planners and designers — ensuring smooth, timely delivery

Manage events, launches, or media activations end to end, ensuring high standards from planning through to execution

Act as the day-to-day lead for your clients, building trust and ensuring strong, consistent communication

Track and manage account budgets with clarity — flag potential overspend or scope creep early and address them proactively

Resolve operational or campaign challenges — working independently or looping in senior counsel where necessary

Oversee media monitoring and insights reporting, ensuring they go beyond coverage counts and tie back to goals

Lead or support regional campaign coordination — either by working with the regional hub team or taking on the hub lead role to manage collaboration across markets

2. Client Management & Strategic Counsel

Serve as a trusted advisor to clients — helping them navigate communications challenges, make smart decisions, and see the bigger picture

Lead the research and insight work that shapes strategy — competitor analysis, audience deep dives, market trends

Shape brand narratives, messaging frameworks, and campaign directions in partnership with content and creative leads

Identify and address reputational risks early, guiding clients with practical, timely counsel

Lead media training preparation for senior spokespeople — including messaging, Q&A prep, and run-throughs

Represent the agency confidently in client presentations and strategy sessions, advocating for ideas and direction

Support business development efforts with strategic input, growth ideas, and new campaign thinking

Coach, train, and mentor junior team members — ensuring they have a clear path for learning, feedback, and career progression

Work closely with senior leads to nurture a positive and inclusive team culture built on mutual respect, clear communication, and shared ownership

Champion high standards of quality, accountability, and performance — driving the team to deliver work with focus, urgency, and pride

Ensure team members follow clear SOPs and delivery processes , so that projects run smoothly, efficiently, and with fewer bottlenecks

Act as a role model in balancing execution and leadership — helping others grow while continuing to lead from the front

4. Content Development

Lead the development of high-impact content across formats — press releases, media kits, social copy, thought leadership, talking points, presentation decks, etc.

Adapt messaging to suit different audiences and channels while staying true to the brand voice

Create strong editorial hooks and narrative angles that engage media and target audiences

Use your writing and storytelling skills to bring structure and clarity to even the most complex topics

Support content for business development — including pitch proposals and research insights

Job requirements

Who you are

We’re looking for someone who leads by doing — someone who thrives on ownership, gets things done with purpose, and brings others along with them. You’ll be part coach, part partner, part strategist — and always ready to roll up your sleeves.

You have:

6–8 years of experience in PR or integrated communications — ideally within an agency or consultancy

Proven experience managing client accounts and integrated campaigns across earned, owned, and social channels

Confidence in leading both senior clients and junior team members, creating structure and clarity for all

Strong storytelling skills — especially in translating complex or B2B topics into clear, engaging narratives

A solid grasp of how strategy, media, content, and digital come together in an integrated campaign

Strong project management skills — you can balance timelines, budgets, creative ideas, and delivery without losing focus

A genuine interest in developing talent and creating a collaborative, quality-driven team culture

A genuine interest in both B2C and B2B industries — and the curiosity to learn how to translate complex topics into compelling stories

A growth mindset — you’re hungry to grow, take feedback well, and are always looking to sharpen your skills and expand your perspective

Comfort using tools like Google Analytics , Meta Business Manager , Meltwater , or social listening dashboards

Fluency in written and spoken English; additional languages (e.g. Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin) are a bonus

Why Join Us

At PRecious Communications, we believe in integrated thinking and storytelling that drives impact. You’ll get exposure to regional work, a culture that values collaboration and growth, and the opportunity to build your skills across the full spectrum of communications.
