Openkrill is hiring: Social Media & PR Support in New York

Company Overview
Our team runs marketing and PR for hospitality and wellness brands, with a strong focus on social media presence, press outreach, and influencer partnerships. We're a small, fast-moving team that values clear writing, sound judgment, and someone who can be trusted to run with the execution side of the work.

Role Overview
We're looking for a Virtual Assistant to take over the social media management and PR execution work currently handled in-house. This person will handle the day-to-day posting, community engagement, and outreach that keeps our social and press efforts running smoothly, freeing up the internal team to focus on strategy. We need someone a little more experienced and detail-oriented than a junior hire - someone who can exercise good judgment on tone and messaging, stay organized across multiple moving pieces, and execute reliably without things slipping through the cracks.
