**Role Description**

As a crucial member of our team, you'll need to have the following key skills:

- English language fluency: You need to have excellent written and spoken English. Another language is ideal but not essential.
- Copywriting skills: You need to be hot on spelling, grammar and proof-reading, as well as have a creative flair for producing engaging and intelligent copy.
- Presentation skills: From communicating ideas to your team to presenting stories to journalists, you need to organise information in a succinct and interesting way to capture their attention.
- Strategic input: you will feed into client strategies and so will need a strong ability to draw on insights, data and wider research to form effective communications strategies.
- Effective organisation and project management skills. You will play a critical role in ensuring we stay on track with project timelines and deliverables.
- Time-keeping: You will often be working to tight media deadlines as well as meeting the demands and pressures of your team and clients, so you need to be able to work quickly and efficiently, without compromising on quality.
- Resilience: You need to be ballsy enough to pick up the phone to national journalists and resilient enough to handle criticism and rejection.
- Ability to work well within a team, able to collaborate successfully with others in a fast-paced environment.
