Weber Shandwick Canada is currently seeking a Senior Manager to join our Integrated Media team in Toronto. You’ll work with some of the most innovative companies shaping Canada’s digital future, developing and executing integrated earned, owned and paid campaigns that position them at the center of business, innovation, and policy conversations. You love the thrill of the pitch, building strong media and influencer relationships, and translating complex topics like AI, cybersecurity, cloud and 5G into compelling, accessible stories. You’re equally comfortable navigating the business press, national newsrooms, and tech trade media.

With 4-6 years of experience across the traditional media, influencer and digital/social landscapes, you’ll work within integrated account teams to create powerful campaigns that drive meaningful and measurable results.

Responsibilities:

• Help develop and execute innovative and award-winning integrated PR campaigns for major brands

• Identify and build relationships with influencers and content creators to bring our clients’ stories to life through trusted and relatable voices
• Identify new outlets and platforms, and creative ways to propel earned-first storytelling for our clients
• Monitor media outlets, understand industry issues that directly and indirectly affect our clients, and analyze and distill meaningful insights from media coverage
• Develop strategic messaging and provide counsel for clients’ issues and reputational risks
• Proactively monitor social media and influencer space for brand-building opportunities while also developing a sense of competitor programs and relevant cultural conversations
• Develop and track meaningful KPIs to measure the success of campaigns and return on investment for our clients
• Participation in office-wide initiatives, seminars and meetings to further professional learning and development
• Assist in the development and coaching of junior team members
• Actively participate in agency development and assist with new business

KEY QUALIFICATIONS:

• Approximately 4-6 years of experience, ideally in an agency, communications or journalism environment
• Strong understanding of the overall media and social media landscapes
• Experience working with technology and/or telecom clients
• Established media relationships and examples of past success
• Proven ability to garner earned-first coverage and conversation on behalf of brands, organizations, companies or other institutions
• Familiarity with media and/or influencer databases, journalist-led tools and resources
• Ability to work effectively with integrated agency teams
• A working style that is self-motivated, well-organized and resilient to ever-changing timelines, requests and deliverables
• Strong written, verbal communication, presentation, collaboration and problem-solving skills
