The role:

This role is for someone who loves the pace of the news cycle, knows how to turn a smart insight into a sharp media angle, and wants to work across brands with genuine public relevance.

This is a great opportunity for someone who is media-hungry, commercially curious and confident working with data, experts and emerging issues to create stories journalists actually want.

Core responsibilities:

• Drive day-to-day momentum across press office and campaign activity, keeping work moving, stakeholders informed and outputs consistently high quality.
• Develop and pitch timely, relevant stories across motoring, lifestyle, education, economics, business, consumer trends and the wider news agenda.
• Translate data, expert commentary, product news and complex issues into clear, credible and compelling media narratives.
• Build strong relationships with journalists and proactively identify opportunities to insert clients into the right conversations at the right time.
• Monitor the media landscape closely, spotting emerging issues, competitor activity and proactive angles that can create earned attention for clients.
• Draft and review PR materials including media releases, pitches, briefing notes, media lists, coverage updates, reports and client communications.
• Work closely with senior team members, junior team members and specialists across media, creative and strategy to deliver integrated, high-impact PR work.
• Help manage timelines, WIPs, approvals and reporting so work is delivered with pace, accuracy and strong attention to detail.

A bit about you:

• You have experience in a media relations-heavy PR role, ideally within an agency, corporate or government environment.
• You understand what makes a strong media story and can confidently shape angles for different sectors, audiences and journalists.
• You are comfortable working with data, trends, expert commentary and complex subject matter, and know how to turn it into clear, accessible communications.
• You genuinely enjoy pitching, building media relationships and staying close to the news cycle.
• You are organised, proactive and calm under pressure, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines across several clients.
• You have strong writing skills, sharp attention to detail and the judgement to know when something is client-ready.
• You enjoy working collaboratively with senior leads, junior team members and specialists across the broader agency.
• You are curious, commercially aware and interested in the worlds your clients operate in — from automotive and education to credit, identity and fraud.

What’s in it for you:

• Real flexibility to work when and where you feel most productive with our ‘Be the Best You’ policy, which includes a $250 contribution to your home office set-up. 
• The opportunity to give back with dedicated volunteer leave and our whole-company event, One Day for Change. 
• 5 weeks' annual leave after 2 years of service and 3 whole-company Wellness days off per year for you to switch off and take your day, your way.
