Pr jobs in South Africa

Salary: R20,000 Medical Aid Allowance of R1500 + 10 Days Paid Leave

We’re looking for a Public Relations Executive with strong agency or client-side experience — someone who can confidently own PR campaigns and support broader marketing initiatives across multiple client accounts.

This role blends public relations, digital PR, and marketing, so it’s perfect for someone who can craft compelling stories, secure meaningful media coverage, and contribute to multi-channel marketing campaigns that keep our clients front-of-mind.

If you’ve successfully pitched to journalists, managed client PR calendars, supported social and email campaigns, and delivered measurable results across both PR and marketing channels, you’ll excel in this role.

This is not a newsroom or editorial journalism position.

We’re specifically looking for candidates who understand the fast-paced, client-facing rhythm of agency work — balancing creativity with strategy, handling multiple accounts, and driving proactive outreach.

You’ll be building narratives, strengthening media relationships, supporting content and marketing projects, and helping clients grow their visibility through strategic, integrated PR and marketing efforts.

• Write press releases that stand out and gain traction
• Pitch to journalists and secure meaningful media coverage
• Build and maintain relationships with key media contacts
• Manage digital PR and outreach campaigns
• Monitor coverage and measure PR impact

• Support digital marketing campaigns across social media and email
• Work across multiple client accounts simultaneously
• Manage deadlines and priorities efficiently
• Communicate progress, challenges, and wins with the wider team

• Drive the growth of PR and marketing services
• Identify opportunities for client coverage and thought leadership
• Attend industry events and networking opportunities
• Contribute new ideas and creative approaches to PR

• Proven PR agency or in-house PR experience
• Confident pitching to journalists and securing coverage
• Experience with digital PR and outreach strategies
• Strong press release and copywriting skills
• Comfortable managing CRMs and media databases
• Excellent communication and time management skills

• Microsoft Teams (for internal collaboration)
• Go High Level (CRM)
• Canva (for quick creative work)
• LinkedIn (for outreach and relationship building)
• PR monitoring and outreach tools

• Knowledge of SEO
• Experience in social media campaign management
• Email marketing expertise

You’re confident, proactive, and self-driven. You thrive in a dynamic environment, balancing creativity with accountability. You understand that great PR is about relationships, timing, and storytelling that connects. You’re adaptable, organised, and passionate about helping brands earn recognition for what they do best.

• The opportunity to shape and lead PR initiatives from the ground up
• A supportive, collaborative environment that values initiative and efficiency
• Exposure to a variety of clients and industries — no two weeks look the same
