Pr Manager

**What’s the role?**

Reporting to the Head of Consumer PR & Talent Relations (based in Melbourne), you will be based in Sydney or Melbourne and be part of a team that is responsible for managing consumer publicity for News Corp Australia’s many and varied brands. This key position will rely on your proven ability to create, nurture and maintain strong stakeholder relationships both internally and externally, and to operate within a complex matrix team structure that is geographically dispersed throughout Australia. Your ability to manage multiple stakeholders and communicate effectively within a team environment will be critical to your success.

All-encompassing, you will manage proactive and reactive consumer PR to deliver outcomes that directly drive circulation, subscription or revenue growth for the business.

The PR team is a key function within the broader national Consumer Marketing team and includes another PR Manager (based in Brisbane) and a PR executive (based in Sydney), and is also supported by a PR Agency on retainer, with whom this role will have regular dealings.

You will steer campaign management, product launches and media events, and implement all major publicity initiatives with a national focus promoting News Corp content, talent and campaigns to national and local media outlets across TV, radio, and social.

You will have the commercial sensibility to negotiate opportunities where talent can be utilised effectively and be capable of forming strong relationships with journalists and talent managers.

A key part of this role will be to identify and deliver collaborative publicity opportunities that utilise News Corp Australia’s owned media channels, including Sky News and Fox Sports among others.

This role is challenging and rewarding in equal measure, offering visibility to all levels of News Corp. You will arrive armed with, and maintain, strong relationships with television program producers, TV news chiefs of staff, radio producers and social media editors and possess the ability to craft angles and pitches for segments, interviews and packages on state-based and national programs. You will be willing to work flexibly - at times accommodating early morning starts, late finishes or occasional weekends. Flexibility for interstate travel on occasions will also be required.
