Communications and Public Relations Specialist

Department:
Marketing

Reports To:
Marketing Director

About the Role

Are you a natural storyteller who knows how to turn ideas into headlines? A communicator who thrives on crafting messages that make people feel, think, and act?

We're looking for a
Communications and Public Relations Specialist
who can bring energy, creativity, and strategy to every campaign. You'll be the
brand voice and media connector
, helping shape how the world sees and talks about us. From press events to media outreach, you'll be at the heart of everything that builds our public image.

What You'll Do


Shape the Story:

  • Develop and execute dynamic PR and communications strategies that amplify our brand.
  • Write, edit, and distribute press releases, newsletters, speeches, and other media materials.
  • Keep messaging on-brand, engaging, and consistent across all channels.


Build the Buzz:

  • Partner with marketing, creative, and sales teams to integrate PR campaigns into broader brand initiatives.
  • Plan and coordinate unforgettable events — press launches, media tours, sponsorships, and more.
  • Serve as the company spokesperson at select events and media opportunities.


Track the Impact:

  • Monitor media coverage and industry trends to identify opportunities and assess campaign performance.
  • Maintain relationships with journalists, influencers, and key partners.
  • Provide reports and insights to measure PR success and inform future strategies.


Strategize & Support:

  • Collaborate with leadership to develop communication strategies and prepare for interviews and public appearances.
  • Manage crisis communications with professionalism, speed, and confidence.
  • Propose and manage partnerships, sponsorships, and promotional initiatives that build visibility and brand trust.

What You Bring


Education & Experience:

  • Bachelor's degree in
    Communications, Public Relations, Journalism
    , or a related field.
  • 1+ years
    of professional experience in PR, communications, or media relations.


Skills That Set You Apart:

  • Exceptional writing, editing, and storytelling abilities.
  • Strong understanding of media relations, branding, and public engagement.
  • Strategic thinker with a creative edge — you know how to make a message memorable.
  • Excellent time management, multitasking, and organizational skills.
  • Collaborative team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment.


Nice-to-Haves:

  • Familiarity with project management software or content tools.
  • 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.
  • Must have a valid driver's license and access to a vehicle.
  • Occasional flexibility with hours — because great PR moments don't always stick to 9–5.

Why You'll Love Working Here

You'll join a creative, collaborative, and passionate marketing team that values
innovation, authenticity, and storytelling
. Every day brings a new opportunity to connect, create, and make an impact.

If you're ready to build meaningful relationships, craft compelling stories, and help shape a brand's public voice — this is your next big move.
