• Pitch and coordinate media collaboration opportunities such as co-branded features, media placements, interview placements, and leadership profiles
• Develop and manage a structured media outreach plan from first contact through content delivery and follow-up
• Support personal brand development for senior leadership: coordinate media appearances, draft talking points, and manage external communications calendars
• Write and distribute press releases and official statements for major company announcements, milestones, and events
• Build and maintain an ongoing database of media contacts, journalists, editors, and content partners
• Develop and refine the company's overall brand communications strategy in alignment with the Marketing team
• Monitor external brand presence and media coverage, and provide regular reporting and insights
• Coordinate with Design and Content teams to ensure all external-facing materials are brand-consistent and aligned with communications objectives
• Identify and explore strategic partnership and co-marketing opportunities to expand brand reach

Key Requirements

• Diploma or Degree in Communications, Journalism, Marketing, Public Relations, or a related field
• 2–4 years of experience in brand communications, media relations, corporate communications, or external affairs
• Bilingual proficiency: fluent in English and Mandarin (written and spoken); excellent English writing is essential
• Proven ability to independently develop and manage media and external stakeholder relationships
• Comfortable communicating with people at all levels, from content creators to senior executives
• Strong written communication skills, including compelling pitches, press releases, executive profiles, and brand copy
