PETA is looking for a celebrity campaigns coordinator to join the team. In this role, you will help enlist celebrity support for PETA campaigns and initiatives, including social media campaigns, public service announcements, and advocacy events. The ideal candidate will have excellent writing skills, several years of entertainment industry experience, strong attention to detail, and knowledge of–and a passion for–animal rights. 

Your Mission:

To enlist celebrity support of PETA campaigns and initiatives, including social media campaigns, public service announcements, and advocacy events

What your day will look like:

• Organizing celebrity projects, including photo shoots, and the production and editing of radio and TV commercials. This may sound glamorous, but it’s no easy feat.

• Supervising the execution of events and working with the media campaign staff members to ensure appropriate media coverage

• Developing and maintaining relationships with entertainment industry professionals (e.g., agencies, publicity firms, management companies, photographers, stylists)

• Writing letters to celebrities encouraging them to get involved in various PETA campaigns or to stop supporting industries or acts that harm animals (e.g., wearing fur, buying an animal from a pet store, attending an animal based circus, eating foie gras)

• Writing scripts, ad copy, and text for celebrity letters after celebrities sign on to participate in campaigns

• Working with key senior staff members to create pitch ideas that will become the next big thing for animal rights

• Keeping thorough records in the celebrity database of the important interactions between PETA and celebrities

• Staying current on celebrity news and events, including the issues and events that are important to them, so that you can respond with relevant information 

• Finally, you’ll be assisting the special projects manager with other responsibilities specific to celebrity outreach 

• Extensive firsthand knowledge of the entertainment industry is a must

• Minimum of two years of professional working experience in the entertainment industry, marketing, media, communications, public relations, or in a related field

• Working with high-profile individuals requires the ability to be honest, reliable, and discreet. Experience working in a similar field will show us you have what it takes.

• You’re going to be working with celebrities, publicity firms, and stylists, so the ability to deal with a variety of people in a professional matter will be critical

• Contracts need to be negotiated and photo shoots need to be organized, and it all has to happen under a tight budget, so we need someone who is an A-list multitasker with a lot of drive. Make sure that your resume outlines how you’ve run similar projects.

• We are always looking for top-notch writers, so perfectly presented application materials will go a long way

• Exceptional organization skills and attention to detail will help you keep everything on track, so resumes with grammar or other errors will be rejected. Sorry, but we can’t risk it.

• Many people say that they “thrive under pressure,” but this position has no shortage of tight deadlines, so you must really be able to crank out high-quality work within short timeframes

• This position is responsible for getting our message out to celebrities, so you must know PETA campaigns and animal rights issues inside and out

• You must support PETA’s Philosophy and have the ability to professionally advocate our positions on issues

• Naturally, you’d need to be committed to the objectives of the organization, and living a vegan lifestyle would be part of this

The hourly pay range for this position is $20.61 - $25.78 per hour. The ultimate hourly pay within this range that will be offered to a qualified candidate will be determined based on the candidate’s experience and the cost of living in the area in which the candidate will live and work.
