Job Description
Job Title: Senior Manager / Director PR
Job Overview:
We are looking for a senior PR and communications leader who can strategically build reputation, credibility, and influence.

Must Have - Desired Skills/Experience:
- 10-15 years of experience in PR, corporate communications, or public affairs

- Secure meaningful coverage in the right publications, not just volume-driven visibility
Event, Awards & Platform Strategy
- Identify and strategically participate in relevant industry events, forums, and conferences
- Evaluate and pursue awards that strengthen credibility and long-term reputation
