The Opportunity

\

We are looking for a communications superstar to join our Wellington team and work with a broad mix of clients across corporate and consumer communications. From technology to food and beverage, to the building sector, financial services and everything in between, you'll be working with local and international brands, and you will play an integral role in delivering high-impact campaigns.

\

We offer a flexible working environment, great snacks, and the chance to work with and learn from exceptional consultants on a wide variety of campaigns. Our affiliation with Edelman, the world's largest communication company, gives us access to global data, best-practice as well as opportunities to partner on work programmes.

About You

\

We're after someone who has 2-3 years' communications experience, an interest in government policy, enjoys the business of storytelling, has existing media relationships, and isn't afraid to hustle. You will be well-organised and detail-focused, curious, enthusiastic, and always on the lookout for opportunities for your clients.

\

You will have a successful track record of building relationships and managing programmes of work. You'll love the detail of effective budget management, the blue sky thinking of brainstorms, and be ready to develop your strategic comms skills. Our business is set up for you to shine. We pride ourselves on nurturing and investing in our team of talented people.
