• Approximately 1–2 years of experience in communications, public relations, journalism or a related field.
• Excellent writing, editing and proofreading skills.
• Experience working with media and journalists, with a good understanding of media relations.
• Professional proficiency in English (B2 level or above) to collaborate with clients and regional teams.
• A proactive, collaborative mindset with curiosity and willingness to learn.
