Role Overview

Indie Consulting is seeking an experienced Senior PR Operations Consultant to support the PR team for a leading global beauty brand.

This is a hands-on role for a seasoned PR professional who already understands how sophisticated brand communications programs operate and can quickly step into a fast-moving environment. The role is inherently supportive and operational, but it is not junior: success requires strong PR judgment, independent ownership, and the ability to anticipate what needs to happen next without significant training or oversight.

The ideal candidate is someone who has meaningful PR experience and enjoys staying close to the work without needing to own the overall strategy or lead the account. Experience within beauty, CPG, wellness, or another complex consumer brand environment is highly valuable.

Key Responsibilities:

PR Operations & Execution

• Provide hands-on operational support to senior PR leads across multiple concurrent campaigns and initiatives.
• Translate conversations and decisions into clear actions, owners, timelines, and follow-up.
• Independently maintain workbacks, trackers, calendars, status documents, and project documentation.
• Anticipate needs, identify gaps or risks, and proactively move work forward.
• Review fact sheets, messaging, briefing documents, press materials, note cards, and other PR deliverables with an experienced PR lens.
• Coordinate materials, feedback, approvals, and deliverables across internal and external partners.

Agency & Cross-Functional Coordination

• Work closely with PR agency partners and cross-functional brand, influencer, social, and marketing teams.
• Understand agency roles and responsibilities and help ensure work moves efficiently between stakeholders.
• Maintain clear visibility into priorities, dependencies, deadlines, and outstanding decisions.
• Proactively follow up with stakeholders and drive accountability without requiring direction at every step.

Events, Activations & Seeding

• Support planning and execution of press events, activations, product launches, and brand experiences.
• Coordinate event workbacks, materials, logistics, and follow-up.
• Support product seeding and send-outs, including coordination, tracking, and reporting.
• When local, participate in NYC-area events, activations, agency meetings, and other in-person needs as appropriate.

Measurement & Reporting

• Support earned media and campaign reporting.
• Organize coverage, results, insights, and campaign highlights for internal and client-facing materials.
• Maintain accurate, accessible reporting and documentation across workstreams.

• 7+ years of relevant PR/communications experience, with the judgment to operate independently from day one.
• Meaningful experience supporting consumer brands, ideally within beauty, personal care, wellness, or CPG.
• Strong understanding of how PR programs move from strategy through agency execution, activation, and measurement.
• Experience navigating complex organizations and working across brand teams, agencies, and cross-functional partners.
• Exceptional project management, organization, and attention to detail.
• Highly proactive communicator who follows through consistently and raises issues before they become problems.
• Comfortable owning both high-level coordination and detailed execution.
• Able to quickly determine “what good looks like” without requiring extensive direction.
• Low ego and genuinely energized by a hands-on, supportive role despite having significant experience.

Contract Details 

• 80 hours/month
• September–December 2026
• Work will primarily take place during standard Eastern Time business hours.
• Compensation commensurate with experience.
