Senior Manager - Public Relations

Role overview

Senior PR Manager

This is not a coordinator role — this is for someone who thinks and acts like a PR entrepreneur, takes full ownership, and commands credibility in the ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities

• Has driven end-to-end PR strategy — planning, pitching, publishing — with minimal dependency.
• Have secure editorials, op-eds, and thought leadership pieces across top-tier publications.
• Build relationships with journalists, editors, and media owners across policy, business, and impact beats.
• Manage press relations for high-stakes projects, especially in public-sector or compliance-heavy environments.
• Operate under real-world constraints — budgets, deadlines, approvals — without compromising results.
• Run lean campaigns with agility, while building strong media narratives for the brand.

Who You Are

• 6–9 years in PR/communications, preferably from boutique PR firms or independent consulting.
• Proven track record of getting editorials and high-quality coverage with lean teams.
• Experience handling government projects or public policy communication.
• Deep media relationships and respected reputation in the PR ecosystem.
• Self-starter with the hunger and mindset of a pseudo-entrepreneur.
• Can think on your feet, act under pressure, and deliver without constant supervision.

Nice to Have

• Experience in sustainability, cleantech, policy, or ESG space.
• Ability to script, ghostwrite, or package complex stories simply.
• Familiarity with media analytics tools (Whizikey, Meltwater, etc.)
