Sounds good? Here's where you come in.

About You:

  • Tertiary qualified
  • 8+ years full time experience in PR agency &/or part in-house
  • Deep understanding, network and workings of New Zealand newsrooms
  • Exceptionally well connected in media, PR and business circles and continues to build your network in the industry, with media (traditional and new), general business colleagues, suppliers, influencers, industry colleagues and others
  • Experience leading and developing junior team members
  • Strategically minded, critical thinker, constantly curious and with a solutions-focused, positive attitude
  • Able to build strong and effective working relationships with key internal and external stakeholders
  • Someone who can roll up their sleeves and get stuff done
  • Ability to juggle multiple priorities, with a calm demeanour and adaptability to manage the unexpected
  • Excellent presentation skills and 'expert level' attention to detail
  • Can build intimate knowledge of the industries in which clients operate

If you have a fire in your belly to make your mark and propel continued growth, take on new challenges, join a talented team of communications consultants, have an innovation mindset, and want to be part of a trail-blazing agency, then we want to hear from you.
