We are looking for a Digital PR Executive to join our young digital PR function within SEO Sherpa, a multi-award-winning, global top-five organic search agency.

In this role, you will be working in our digital PR division tasked with winning coverage and links for exciting brands like Harpers Bazaar, Orange, Abu Dhabi Government, Yas Island, and many others.

As a Digital PR Executive, you'll be charged with driving strategy and execution, creating engaging and newsworthy press releases, stories, and content, and building relationships with influencers, bloggers, journalists, and industry leaders to secure digital coverage.

We are looking for someone who has been there and done it, from creating and managing campaigns to working directly with clients, journalists, and designers to producing award-winning campaigns that journalists want to publish. From campaign ideation to content and outreach, you've done it all - and got the tee shirt.

In this role, you’ll also help to grow our digital PR offering, working with the company's strategists and pitch team to promote the Digital PR service to our existing client set and new business opportunities.

This is a full-time remote role. However it requires a high level of collaboration with other team members and with clients. For that purpose, only applicants in timezones of 4 hours +/- of Dubai (GST) will be considered.

Requirements:

A proven track record in Digital PR and fun going attitude are a must.

If you answer “YES” to these, this role will be a good match:

• You have experience in Digital PR, or you’ve worked in the media before as a Journalist or Editor. Knowledge of the United Arab Emirates market is "nice" to have - but not a must.
• You know the media landscape like the back of your hand, and you have built relationships with journalists in multiple industries and markets. You already have, or are growing, a black book of media and influencer relationships.
• You have the copywriting skills to write stories journalists want to cover to land press coverage and links on well-known websites. You are an expert in writing click-worthy subject lines that get opened - and ultimately covered.
• You know what’s trending news. Not a day goes by that you haven’t checked the latest stories in the market. You’re a master at spotting trends early - and inserting your clients into the conversation.
• You're a data whiz. You disseminate data and turn it into insights that journalists love. You have proven success in developing data studies that have won national coverage.
• You know - or are excited to learn and apply SEO strategies that leverage press coverage into backlinks - and ultimately higher search engine rankings for our clients.
• You have excellent organizational skills and can manage competing deadlines.
• You have exceptionally high standards. You are constantly raising the bar because, in your world, great isn’t good enough.

Benefits:

Cool stuff you'll get:

• The opportunity to work with a talented team on an important mission.
• Above market salary + incentives.
• Unlimited (paid) personal time off for vacation, sick, and wellness days.
• Flexible hours and the freedom to work remotely (from anywhere!)
• Radical transparency across business metrics and information (we call this "open for business").
• 100% company-paid health insurance.
• Regular training, professional workshops, and book purchases are covered by us.
• Team retreats and meet-ups that bring together our remote-first workforce.
• A fun work culture where we value your work and our client's business.
