About the job

WEBTOON Entertainment is a leading global entertainment company and home to some of the world's largest storytelling platforms. As the global leader and pioneer of the mobile webcomic format, WEBTOON Entertainment has transformed comics and visual storytelling for fans and creators.

With its CANVAS UGC platform empowering anyone to become a creator, and a growing roster of superstar WEBTOON Originals creators and series, WEBTOON Entertainment’s passionate fandoms are the new face of pop culture. WEBTOON adaptations are available on Netflix, Prime Video, Crunchyroll, and other screens around the world, and the company’s content partners include Discord, HYBE and DC Comics, among many others.

We are looking for an organized and ambitious Communications Coordinator to join our growing PR & Communications Team. Reporting to the Senior PR & Communications Manager, you will support our PR & Communications team at WEBTOON Entertainment through daily media monitoring, building media lists, scheduling meetings and interviews, pitching media, and supporting a variety of administrative PR operations across the team. This role, appropriate for a junior PR practitioner with agency experience, will put you on the ground floor of a growing PR team, with the opportunity to learn multiple facets of PR and Communications at our innovative global company.

What You’ll Do:

  • Media monitoring and reporting, including KPI tracking, monitoring as well as calendar management for the PR team
  • Building and maintaining media lists
  • Supporting internal and external research for all PR initiatives
  • Provide administrative support across the PR team, coordinating meetings, interviews, media tours, and other events

  • Supporting media relations activities
  • Regularly updating and rolling-out copy changes to our Press Site
  • Build and maintain Best Of media coverage for each of our WEBTOON Entertainment brands in North America
  • Support presentation and deck development

What We’re Looking For:

  • You have 1 - 2 years experience working in a PR agency
  • Someone who lives for the news: you’re a savvy media consumer, you pay attention to big media stories and how they play out
  • You love operations and process -- making sure everything is organized in a way that increases efficiency makes you happy
  • A hawk-eyed grammar geek with a passion for words and how they are put together, who can easily spot a typo or run-on sentence
  • You love to read and/or write
