Public Relations Coordinator

Public Relations Coordinator

Meow Wolf is coming to Los Angeles, and the right person for this role knows this city the way a local knows Aviation Boulevard beats the 405. They're plugged into LA's art, entertainment, culture, underground film clubs, and attractions scenes. They've built real relationships with SoCal journalists, editors, producers, reporters, podcast hosts, Substack writers, and that one blogger whose newsletter somehow reaches everyone who should be reached. They know how to write a press release that doesn't sound like a press release, how to prep a GM for a TV segment, and how to stay completely calm when a celebrity texts at 9:00 p.m. on a Thursday asking for a last-minute tour.

This role lives at the intersection of local knowledge and brand ambition. The LA Director of Marketing leads the strategic direction of initiatives on the ground; the PR Coordinator executes that vision with hustle, relationships, and deep local expertise. The Senior Director of PR provides functional leadership: the frameworks, the brand guardrails, and the professional development that keeps the work sharp and connected to Meow Wolf's voice and broader communications strategy. The role is extremely collaborative across all departments. It also involves being the liaison between Meow Wolf and a PR agency.

Key Responsibilities:

• Being the Local Media Expert
• Press Events & Big Moments
• Content & Communications
• Relationship Building & Community
• Being On Camera (Sometimes)
• Fluid Availability

Required Qualifications:

• 3–5 years of PR, communications, or media relations experience, with meaningful time spent in LA or focused on the LA market.
• Demonstrated experience in, and passion for, art, entertainment, culture, attractions, or adjacent industries — an understanding of how stories get told in this metro.
• A working Rolodex (okay, a very organized contacts app) of LA media relationships across broadcast, print, digital, and new media.
• Experience coordinating press events, managing media on-site, and working alongside agency partners, senior leadership, and high-profile guests.
• Strong skills coordinating press events.
• Strong writing skills — press releases, media alerts, talking points, and prep documents that are sharp, brand-right, and actually useful.
• The ability to juggle multiple workstreams, stay organized across a complex launch calendar, and keep cool under pressure.
• A collaborative spirit — playing well with creative teams, ops, marketing, and leadership, with the understanding that the best PR happens when everyone's telling the same story.
• Comfort with public speaking and being the face of the brand in live, on-camera, or large-group settings.

Candidate Skills

Genuinely in love with weird, wonderful, immersive experiences — and able to explain why someone needs to come explore Meow Wolf in a way that makes them cancel their other plans. They have a willingness and patience to explain the unexplainable. Not the type to panic when things shift at the last minute; the type to adapt. Someone who builds trust with journalists, partners, and colleagues alike because they're consistent, thoughtful, and actually fun to work with.

PR isn't just about coverage, it's about digging deeper for the bigger stories. And you're ready to help write one of the most exciting opening stories in LA's cultural calendar.
