Media & Corporate Communications Advisor

It is an exciting time to be joining BAC, as we embark on a transformative journey, whereby more than $5 billion is being invested into the development of our infrastructure over the next five years.

For a media and communications professional, this represents a great opportunity to work with highly experienced and credentialed colleagues, in a dynamic and issues rich environment.

Who we are

Brisbane Airport Corporation is a proud, Queensland-based company that manages Brisbane Airport (BNE), an award-winning hub and a key gateway to Australia and the world. Together, we are building an Airport City that connects people, creates community and supports our economy for generations to come.

We are passionate about what we do, and we are excited to make a positive difference connecting our communities, businesses and people with the world. Our team is committed and driven, and it's because of them that BNE is such a great airport.

About the role

Reporting to the Head of Public Affairs, the Media & Corporate Communications Advisor is responsible for sharing Brisbane Airport's story in alignment with the strategic initiatives and priorities identified in its business plan. This position is responsible for providing media relations advice to all business units, corporate communications, crisis and issues management assistance and general communications expertise.

This role supports the Media and Corporate Communications Manager with the day-to-day management of media relations and public relations outreach, the creation of engaging digital content, assistance in shaping the organisation's key public messaging and the development of required publications. Additionally, you will help develop and inform content across social platforms and channels and play an important role supporting business units in the development and delivery of media communications plans.

About you

You like to be part of a happy, high performing team and take pride in making a difference through doing great work.

We are seeking a motivated individual, who is capable of building and maintaining productive relationships with a wide variety of internal and external stakeholders.
