What success looks like in this role: 

  • You focus on your clients, build respectful and authentic relationships, and create successful outcomes for your clients. 

  • You ramp quickly — absorbing new client context, asking smart questions, and incorporating feedback into stronger work. 

  • You bring good judgment to the day-to-day: you prioritize well, flag risks early, and stay steady when details change. 

  • You take ownership end-to-end, following deliverables from first draft through final execution and results reporting. 

  • You work collaboratively across teams and levels - communicating clearly, delegating thoughtfully, and helping the team stay aligned. 

  • You adapt with ease as timelines and priorities shift, keeping momentum without sacrificing quality. 

  • You’re resourceful and solutions-oriented: you come with a recommendation and a next step - not just a problem.

  • 3–5 years communications or public relations experience with 1–2 years in an agency environment 

  • Demonstrated success and passion for earned media across multiple channels

  • Strong project management skills and comfort with technology tools such as Asana 

  • Excellent communicator and collaborator; strong attention to detail 

  • Experience with using AI responsibly and effectively 

  • Proficiency in languages in addition to English preferred.
