NYC Account Coordinator - Public Relations - 2026 Graduates

It’s hard out there for a college grad. That’s why Diffusion is committed to hiring the just-graduated PR pros of tomorrow, or as we like to say in the U.S., our Diffusion Rookies. This is a chance for you to gain an entry-level position with us as a Campaign Coordinator – it’s not an internship or temporary training role, but a full-time position with us and the chance to jump right into the public relations industry with our consumer, lifestyle and technology clients.

As a Diffusion Rookie, you’ll be learning the ins and outs of agency life in an open and supportive environment, where you can be a critical part of our team right from the start. It’s specifically designed to provide recent grads with the right mix of training and entry-level experience needed to be successful in the fast-paced industry of public relations.

We’re not one of those agencies looking for an entry-level team member to make media lists and do admin all day. Our Campaign Coordinators jump right into the daily grind – from learning how to build relationships with media the right way, participating in creative campaigns, client communication, running meetings and showing off their writing skills. Our model of work emphasizes clear deliverables for each client you work on, so every team member is just as valuable as the next.

Diffusion believes in collaboration, but also flexibility, which is why we have a permanent hybrid work week with days in and out of the office. We also offer 25 days of vacation, and close early every Friday year-round.

The Interview Process:

We only want the best and that means our application process is nothing if not rigorous – comprised of three interview stages, the application, the virtual assessment and the final interview. The lucky few who make it to the end of the process will be hired as full-time Campaign Coordinators and have the opportunity to work across our amazing portfolio of clients.

Step 1 – Download and complete the 2026 Rookie Program application and return it along with your resume to rookie@diffusionpr.com. Applications will be evaluated on an ongoing basis and the deadline for all applications is 6:00PM on Friday, March 13, 2026.

Step 2 – Those chosen from the initial application review will be asked to complete a brief virtual assessment and interview in the weeks following their application submission.

Step 3 – Those chosen to move on will participate in a virtual or in-person interview. You must be available for this interview in order to proceed in the process.

Think you have what it takes? Above all else, a Diffusion rookie is:

• A news junkie who works hard every day to share their client’s stories with the media
• Chasing that creative spark to help their clients stand out in a competitive landscape
• Not afraid of getting into a heated debate over the perfect playlist
• Excited to pull off the latest creative activation or stunt
• Passionately defending their favorite news program to all their friends and family
• Obsessed with staying ahead of the buzziest stories and viral content
• Not afraid to jump into a challenge, like our in-depth interview process

If this sounds like you, we look forward to receiving your application!
