• Help translate creative ideas into actionable communications plans.
• Manage assigned workstreams proactively, keeping projects moving and stakeholders informed.
• Present strategic thinking clearly and confidently to internal teams and clients.
• Stay immersed in media, culture, technology, advertising, and how ideas spread.

What skills and experience should you already possess?
• Approximately 2-4 years of relevant experience in communications planning, media strategy, advertising, marketing, or a related discipline.

• Strong research and analytical skills.
• Strong PowerPoint/Google Slides and Excel/Google Sheets skills.
