This role will drive awareness, engagement, media impressions, and share of voice across consumer, business, financial, technology, and real estate media.

Value a team environment, building relationships across the business to give you context, fresh ideas and different perspectives on your work
Fearless responsibility of your work - this means rolling up your sleeves to nail key messages, write, pitch and liaise with the media and own the outcomes

Committed to delivering a high share-of-voice in the media
Be passionate about generating results that directly link to business objectives and be prepared to do what it takes to make it happen

Secure high-profile interviews, TV appearances, speaking engagements, and event opportunities for residential spokespeople and subject-matter experts.
Collaborate with external agencies, ensuring alignment with brand priorities, messaging, and annual PR plans.
Collaborate closely with Product Marketing, Corporate Communications, Content, social media, Product teams to identify compelling narratives and timely story opportunities.
