THE OPPORTUNITY

A confident, creative communications consultant who builds trusted relationships, makes smart stories happen and brings brands closer to the people who love them. An interest in corporate communications is desirable.

We're looking for a Senior Consultant who can turn strategy into compelling communications and deliver excellent day-to-day client service. You'll help lead projects from idea to execution: shaping creative media strategies, building media momentum, working with influencers and partners, and making sure the details land.

You'll be a trusted day-to-day contact for clients, a proactive partner to journalists and creators, and a generous collaborator with your team. You'll bring sound judgement, initiative and a strong sense of what will resonate with people.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Strategy, stories and execution

- Help develop creative media strategies that connect client objectives with the interests, behaviours and conversations of consumers.




- Turn campaign strategy into clear plans, timelines and deliverables, keeping work moving from brief through to evaluation.
- Lead day-to-day media relations activity, including shaping angles, pitching stories, coordinating interviews and pursuing coverage against agreed objectives.
- Build and nurture journalist relationships, bringing a strong understanding of the Australian media landscape and relevant consumer, lifestyle and technology titles.
- Respond to journalist enquiries with care and pace, spotting when an angle needs to shift and involving your supervisor when needed.
- Write and edit sharp, audience-aware materials across pitches, releases, briefing documents, features, case studies, newsletters, web copy and bylined articles.

Creators, events and partnerships

- Manage influencer and talent activity, including research, outreach, negotiation and tracking talent costs against budgets.
- Support the development and delivery of events, partnerships and other experiences that give audiences a reason to engage.
- Brief and coordinate colleagues across creative, production and other specialist teams to bring integrated ideas to life.

Client leadership and delivery

- Serve as a confident day-to-day contact, building rapport and developing a strong understanding of the client's business, category and priorities.
- Articulate recommendations and the thinking behind them clearly, and present creative ideas, plans and work-in-progress with growing confidence.
- Take ownership of defined projects, manage deadlines and budgets, keep work-in-progress documents current, and flag risks early with practical solutions.
- Coordinate post-campaign analysis and deliver transparent, accurate reporting to clients on time.
- Contribute actively to planning and brainstorms, bringing considered ideas and a point of view.

Team and business contribution

- Contribute to new business through research, ideas, rationale and presentation development.
- Support account administration, budget and cost management, and accurate timesheet completion.
- Build understanding of the agency's wider services and how they can help
