of professional experience in PR, communications, or media relations.
Skills That Set You Apart:

- Excellent time management, multitasking, and organizational skills.
- Collaborative team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment.
Nice-to-Haves:

- Experience with media monitoring, reporting, and analytics.
- Comfortable working under pressure and adapting to shifting priorities.
Other Details:
- Some travel required for events and meetings.

- Occasional flexibility with hours — because great PR moments don't always stick to 9–5.
