Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'public' (the community/audience) + 'relations' (interactions) + 'person' yields someone who manages interactions with or the image presented to the public. This logical combination maps directly onto the job description and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would very likely infer the meaning.
Etymology
Public relations person gives a simple picture: someone who stands between a company and the people, the public, and works on their relations by telling good stories and fixing problems. That's why it means a person whose job is to promote and protect a group's 'image' with the public.
