PR Account Manager (Remote, APAC)

About the role

A boutique PR agency founded in New York, which helps technology companies from China and the wider APAC region build their reputation in international markets, is looking for an Account Manager to run the day-to-day work on several technology accounts. You will be the main contact for your clients, help shape their international media strategy and make sure the work gets delivered, working closely with the CEO and a small fully remote team. The role is remote; APAC is preferred because most clients are in China and you must be available during their working hours, with occasional travel for client meetings and trade shows.

Key responsibilities

• Act as the day-to-day contact for clients over WeChat, email and calls, and onboard new clients by gathering company background, key messages, spokesperson details and upcoming news.
• Turn client announcements into clear PR plans with realistic timelines, track contracts and flag requests outside scope early.
• Write and edit press releases, media pitches, Q&A documents, briefing notes and reporter profiles in English, and help clients adapt Chinese-language materials so they read naturally in English.
• Build media lists across US, European and Asia-Pacific outlets, pitch and follow up with journalists, and set up interviews, briefings and press meetings, including at trade shows and product launches.
• Brief spokespeople, support earnings and financial communications for listed clients, and work with local partner agencies on campaigns in other languages.
• Track coverage with media monitoring tools, prepare monthly and quarterly client reports, and monitor competitors' media activity.
• Identify upsell opportunities, help with proposals and credentials for new business, and follow news on funding rounds, IPOs and overseas expansion.

Required profile

• At least five years of PR experience, at an agency or in-house, with a record of results.
• Experience working with technology companies; knowledge of automotive, robotics, logistics or consumer electronics is a plus.
• Ability to handle several clients at once and keep work moving without being chased.
• Confidence dealing directly with senior client executives, including politely explaining why an idea will not work with the media.
• Well organized and dependable when working remotely across time zones.
• Nice to have: experience handling media at international trade shows, knowledge of financial or investor relations communications for listed companies, and existing relationships with technology, automotive or business journalists in the US or Europe.

Required skills

• Familiarity with media databases and monitoring tools such as Cision or Brand24.
• Google Workspace, Slack and AI tools.
• English and Mandarin are preferred (not a hard requirement).

What we offer

• Competitive pay based on experience.
• Fully remote work with flexible hours, as long as you are available for client calls.
• Direct experience with well-known Chinese technology companies expanding overseas.
• A three-month trial period, followed by an ongoing position.
