Every company has a story worth telling, but most struggle to tell it well and consistently. We're looking for a
Virtual Communications and PR Specialist who can take our brand's message and shape it into something people actually pay attention to — whether that's a press pitch, a social post, or a memo to the team down the hall.
A bit about what you'd be walking into
This is a remote role built around variety. You'll be planning a communication strategy one hour, writing a newsletter the next, then jumping into a media pitch or coordinating a webinar later that same day. If you like having your hands in a lot of different work rather than one narrow lane, this role fits that mold.
Where your time goes
The responsibilities here fall into a handful of connected areas, and they shift depending on what the week calls for.
- Shape communication and PR strategies that build brand awareness, and manage a content calendar so nothing goes out late or off-message.
- Handle the writing and editing across press releases, blog content, newsletters, and social updates, always with an eye for detail and a clear sense of who you're writing for.
- Build relationships with journalists and media contacts, pitch stories that are actually worth covering, and step in quickly if a PR issue starts brewing.
- Run the company's social media presence — creating content, watching for brand mentions, and adjusting the approach based on what the numbers actually show.
- Keep employees informed through internal newsletters and updates, which matters even more when the team is spread across different locations.
- Make sure everything going out, internally or externally, stays true to the brand's voice and guidelines.
- Help plan and run events, virtual or in-person, working alongside other teams to keep everything tied to bigger company goals.
Staying sharp on what's happening around you
Part of doing this job well means keeping tabs on industry trends, competitor moves, and what your audience actually responds to. You'll use that research to adjust strategy rather than sticking with whatever worked last quarter. Naukri Mitra has seen this pattern hold across communications roles — specialists who stay curious about their industry tend to outperform those who just execute a fixed playbook.
What you should bring
- A bachelor's degree in Communications, Public Relations, Marketing, Journalism, or something adjacent.
- Somewhere between 3 and 5 years of experience in communications or PR, ideally with some of that time spent working remotely.
- A history of managing media relationships and actually landing press coverage, not just attempting to.
- Sharp writing, editing, and proofreading skills — this role produces a lot of content, and quality can't slip.
- A solid grasp of social platforms and content management systems.
- Comfort managing several projects at once, on your own, without someone hovering over deadlines.
- Genuine interpersonal skills, since you'll be working with people across departments and outside the company alike.
- Event planning experience is a nice bonus if you've got it, though not a dealbreaker.
Tools you'll want to be comfortable with
Since this role is entirely remote, you should be at ease using digital collaboration tools day to day — video calls, shared docs, project trackers, that whole ecosystem. If coordinating across screens rather than in a shared office sounds draining rather than doable, this probably isn't the right fit.
What's on offer
This position pays
$65,000 annually, along with the flexibility that comes standard with remote work — set your hours around your life rather than the other way around, within reason. There's real room to grow here professionally, and you'd be joining a team that leans into collaboration and creative thinking rather than rigid process. Anyone searching
virtual communications specialist jobs remote will find this pairs decent pay with a genuinely supportive culture, which isn't always the case.
What to send our way
If you've got the writing chops and PR instincts to back up your resume, we'd like to see it. Include your resume, a cover letter, and a portfolio of work samples that show what you can actually do. We review applications on a rolling basis for this
Virtual Communications and PR Specialist role, so applying earlier is generally better.
