• Develop high-quality communications materials, including media releases, pitches, briefing documents and thought leadership content. 
• Immerse yourself in the client’s business, networks, issues and industry. 
• Stay across competitors, industry developments and the broader energy landscape. 
• Think beyond earned media to identify how stories can come to life across multiple channels. 
• Support integrated campaigns that connect communications, channels and messages. 
• Manage multiple projects, timelines and stakeholders with strong attention to detail. 
• Contribute ideas and strategic recommendations that help achieve client objectives. 

What You'll Bring:

• PR or communications experience at Account Manager level or equivalent. 
• Experience working with corporate, business, technology, or related clients. 
• Strong knowledge of the Australian media landscape and established media relationships. 
• A track record of developing stories and securing quality editorial coverage. 
• Excellent writing, communication, and presentation skills. 
• Strong organisation and campaign delivery skills. 
• Close attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities. 
• A proactive approach and the ability to work confidently with clients and colleagues.
