You’ll be based in Perth and work closely with The Brand Agency team locally, while also collaborating remotely with the Ogilvy PR team in Sydney. 

The role will support communications activity for a major new corporate client, allowing you to work across corporate communications, media relations, and integrated campaigns.

Working as part of this wider team, you’ll have access to the expertise and support of the Sydney-based Ogilvy PR team, while being closely connected to the Perth-based TBA team. 

For this project, you’ll have the opportunity to develop communications around a major project, and help translate complex topics into clear, compelling stories for media and broader audiences.

• Identify proactive media opportunities and pitch compelling stories. 
• Develop high-quality communications materials, including media releases, pitches, briefing documents and thought leadership content. 
• Immerse yourself in the client’s business, networks, issues and industry. 
• Stay across competitors, industry developments and the broader energy landscape. 
• Think beyond earned media to identify how stories can come to life across multiple channels. 
• Support integrated campaigns that connect communications, channels and messages. 
• Manage multiple projects, timelines and stakeholders with strong attention to detail. 
• Contribute ideas and strategic recommendations that help achieve client objectives. 

What You'll Bring:

• PR or communications experience at Account Manager level or equivalent. 
• Experience working with corporate, business, technology, or related clients. 
• Strong knowledge of the Australian media landscape and established media relationships. 
• A track record of developing stories and securing quality editorial coverage. 
• Excellent writing, communication, and presentation skills. 
• Strong organisation and campaign delivery skills. 
• Close attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities. 
• A proactive approach and the ability to work confidently with clients and colleagues.
