  • Work independently and as a key member of the team
  • Create a wide range of written materials, such as client memos, press releases, speeches, etc.
  • Contribute to new business program development and pitches

Background/experience and skills:

  • Three plus (3+) years of public relations, marketing or journalism experience
  • B.A./B.S. degree in liberal arts or business
  • Solid examples of media placement and understanding of the media landscape
  • Active, creative brainstorming in group and team meetings
  • Strong independence, entrepreneurial spirit, passion and intellectual curiosity
  • Solid judgment, drive and influence
  • Good delegation skills and people management: Mentor junior staff and provide direction and objectives, performance counseling and skill building
  • Strong writing, editing, listening and verbal skills
  • Attention to detail and process
  • 110 percent dedication to client satisfaction
  • Energy, enthusiasm and a passion for what he/she does
