  • Increase visibility of our brand through industry leading events and awards, as well as seek opportunities for us to elevate our brand at events through activations, sponsorships and/or speaking engagements.
  • Proactively monitor industry trends, regulatory developments, and competitive landscape, and leverage insights to inform PR strategies and messaging.

Qualifications What are we looking for?**- Inclusive and interpersonal attributes that connect with our behaviours (we change the game, we own it, we step in, we are curious, we don't take ourselves too seriously)

  • Proven track record of successfully managing PR campaigns aimed at enhancing brand reputation and thought leadership within an industry.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft compelling messages and narratives tailored to industry audiences.
  • Excellent media relations skills, with a demonstrated ability to build and maintain relationships with industryspecific media outlets, analysts, and influencers.
