Title: Associate Director of Public Relations
Location: Reno and the Greater Reno Area NV US
Job Description:
KPS3 is seeking a standout PR professional ready to make their mark as our Associate Director of Public Relations.
With at least 10 years of agency or corporate experience, you know the work, you know the industry and you know how to deliver.

You do all of this on time, on budget and without breaking a sweat (okay, maybe a little sweat).
If you believe content is king, that data isn't the enemy of creativity, and that a press release is just the beginning, you're speaking our language. If you know the real magic happens when a great team, genuine trust and a diverse roster of clients come together, keep reading. If you want to work somewhere that runs on curiosity, rewards bold thinking and genuinely lives its values, not just posts them on a wall, we want to meet you.
