PR & Communications Expert

Pay: up to $70/hour

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a PR & Communications Subject Matter Expert (SME) to review AI-generated PR/communications outputs and/or create expert communications content, evaluating reasoning quality, messaging discipline, and step-by-step decision-making while providing precise written feedback. You will assess solutions for clarity, accuracy, tone, stakeholder fit, and adherence to the prompt; identify issues in narrative coherence, positioning, media readiness, reputational risk, claims/compliance, and crisis-response logic; fact-check statements where needed; write high-quality explanations and model deliverables (e.g., press releases, statements, FAQs, pitches, comms plans) that demonstrate best practices; and rate and compare multiple responses based on effectiveness, correctness, and reasoning quality.

This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Your PR and communications expertise directly helps improve the world’s premier AI models by making their public-facing writing more accurate, on-message, risk-aware, and clearly explained.

Important:

There is no immediate project for this role; however, if qualified, you will be among the first experts we reach out to when relevant opportunities arise. This will also provide you with access to future projects available through our expert network.

• 5+ years of professional experience in PR and/or communications (agency or in-house), including writing and media-facing deliverables.

• Experience producing core comms assets: press releases, media pitches, bylines, statements, talking points, internal comms, and executive notes.
• Ability to evaluate outputs for accuracy, defensibility, and risk (overclaims, legal/compliance sensitivity, forward-looking statements, confidentiality).

• Strong editing and QA skills; ability to provide specific, actionable feedback and write gold-standard rewrites with rationale; minimum C1 English proficiency.
