Join the Niche PR Team! Part-Time Account Assistant

I’m looking for the right person to join my team as a part-time Account Assistant.

I’m incredibly proud of this business and the work we do for some of the Sacramento region’s most beloved nonprofits and small businesses. I’m really excited to have a reliable person on my team to share in the wins and continue to grow this business alongside me. This is a super flexible role, perfect for a self-starter with great attention to detail and a desire to learn. We’ll start at 6–8 hours per week, with plenty of room to expand both the hours and responsibilities, if you’re interested.  As we grow, there’s potential to lean into the parts of this work you love most – whether that’s creative storytelling, social media strategy, project management or something else we dream up together.
