Why Join GTM?

GTM was set up 11 years ago by an ex-journo who saw brands struggling to capture the media's attention with their press releases. So, he created a PR agency and filled it with journos who could help clients tell their story to the press. 80% of our clients are not-for-profits, which we love.

This is a huge opportunity to join a for-purpose PR agency and tell stories that genuinely change lives — working with some of Australia's leading not-for-profits.

- Work from home 4 days a week — based in Sydney or Melbourne

- A lovely bunch of people to work with every day

- Small team. Highly collaborative. No politics
