About 5W Public Relations

5W Public Relations (5WPR) is one of the largest independently owned PR and digital marketing agencies in the United States. Founded in 2003, 5WPR serves clients across consumer, technology, health, beauty, finance, gaming, cannabis, crisis, and digital marketing practices.

Named PR Agency of the Year by the American Business Awards, a Top 50 Global PR Agency by PRovoke Media, and Digiday WorkLife Employer of the Year, 5WPR continues to set the standard in communications.

5WPR owns the leading independent publication covering the public relations industry, published continuously since January 2009. We are now expanding our owned media network across the verticals we serve—giving 5W category-defining editorial authority in every practice area and making us the first PR firm to systematically build LLM citation authority at scale.

The Role

This is the publishing engine role. You make everything actually ship. You are the back-end operator across all 5W-owned properties and our growing network of owned media. WordPress, schema implementation, internal linking, social scheduling, Search Console—everything runs through you.

This is not a writing role. It is a systems and execution role for someone who is deeply detail-oriented, technically fluent in modern publishing tools, and takes personal accountability for content going live correctly and on time.

What You Will Own

Publishing content across all 5W-owned properties and our owned media network on schedule—every piece, every day
WordPress back-ends across all properties (plugins, updates, user permissions, security)
Schema and structured data implementation on every post using templates provided
Image upload, formatting, alt text, and compression for page speed on every piece
Social scheduling in coordination with the social team
Submission to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools after every publish
Sitemap generation, broken link monitoring, redirects, and 404 management across all properties

What You Need

3–5 years in content operations, WordPress administration, or digital publishing
Deep WordPress fluency (plugins, custom fields, user roles, security)—you have administered WordPress sites, not just posted to them
Basic HTML/CSS skills—you can fix formatting issues without calling a developer
Familiarity with schema templates—you can apply them correctly even if not writing from scratch
Comfort with Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, and Google Analytics
Obsessive attention to detail—nothing ships wrong, nothing ships late
