  • 7+ years in corporate communications or PR, with a strong track record supporting consumer brands.
  • Exceptional writer with sharp journalistic instincts; you know what makes a story newsworthy and how to tell it across channels and formats.
  • Proven media relations professional with established journalist relationships and a history of securing meaningful earned coverage.
