In this role, you will elevate our profile, amplify our leadership voice and turn complex business and technology topics into stories that shape conversations across the market. We're looking for someone who thinks like a journalist, acts like an editor and thrives in a fast-moving workplace.



You'll partner with senior leaders and subject matter experts to identify compelling stories, build meaningful media relationships, strengthen executive visibility and create a consistent presence across Australia's business, technology and industry media landscape.

What You'll Be Doing

- Build strong relationships with journalists, editors, producers and industry commentators.
- Drive executive profiling opportunities through thought leadership, speaking engagements, media interviews, awards and commentary.
- Create and refine media materials, bylines, opinion pieces and executive communications.
- Localise global campaigns and announcements for Australian audiences.
- Measure impact through media coverage, message penetration, executive visibility and broader brand outcomes.

About You

You may come from journalism, agency PR,



corporate communications or an in-house media relations role. What matters most is your ability to identify stories that resonate and build trusted relationships that drive results.

You'll likely bring:

- 6-10 years' experience across public relations, corporate communications, media relations or journalism.
- Strong understanding of the Australian media landscape and what makes a story timely, relevant and newsworthy.
- Established relationships across Australian technology, business, trade or industry media.

- A commercially minded approach that connects communications outcomes to organisational growth and reputation.
- Confidence navigating a global, matrixed environment while maintaining local relevance and impact.
- Curiosity about AI, emerging technology and new ways of working.
- Experience with financial services, public sector or retail sectors is advantageous, but not essential.
