Job Description

The University of Nevada Reno is hiring for a Public Relations Manager. The position will handle all of Brushfire's social-media accounts and promotes all of Brushfire’s important deadlines and events. At bottom, this means that the PR Manager spreads the organization's story to the public and maintains a steady line of communication with Brushfire’s general audience, as well as with other UNR clubs and organizations that may want to collaborate with Brushfire. Occasionally, the PR Manager will answer emails on Brushfire’s behalf. The PR Manager must be familiar with social media (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and should also be present for most (if not all) Brushfire events. The PR Manager should be creative in their attempts to connect Brushfire with the public. Thus, good communication skills—written and verbal—are essential. Because the PR Manager is largely responsible for communicating with Brushfire’s audience, the PR Manager will work closely with the Editor-in-Chief, other staff members and volunteers to ensure things like Facebook posts and promotion/outreach techniques properly represent Brushfire. In addition, the PR Manager will develop plans and strategies to increase Brushfire’s presence both online and on campus.
