Step into this Senior Communications Executive role and build something that matters in PR & Communications.
Startups live or die by how well they tell their story, and PR & Communications is where that story gets shaped before anyone else sees it.
This is a young, fast-moving company where the comms function is still being built, not maintained.
Whoever takes this Senior Communications Executive role will have more say over how that function takes shape than they would at a larger, slower-moving firm.
Here's what you'll be doing: Draft press releases, briefing documents and media pitches that actually get picked up, not filed away Build and maintain relationships with journalists and industry contacts across Melbourne and beyond Manage day-to-day media enquiries and coordinate responses with founders and senior leadership Plan and execute campaigns that support product launches and company milestones Monitor coverage and sentiment, then report back on what's working and what isn't Support internal communications as the team grows, keeping messaging consistent across every channel Here are the skills you'll need: Several years' experience in a PR & Communications role, agency or in-house Sharp writing skills.
You'll need to switch tone between a press release and a founder LinkedIn post without missing a beat Confidence handling media relationships and pitching without a script Comfort with ambiguity.
Startups change direction, and this role needs to move with them Some grasp of digital and social channels, since a chunk of coverage now lives there rather than in print The ability to prioritise when three things need doing at once, because they usually do Key perks and benefits: Salary of A$31,000 to A$45,500, depending on experience Hybrid working, with flexibility on where and when you get the work done Equity or stock options, so you share in what you help build A genuine learning and development budget, not just a line in the handbook A flat structure where your ideas reach decision-makers directly, no layers to climb through Why pursue a career in PR & Communications?
PR & Communications has grown well beyond press releases and media lists.
It now sits at the centre of how companies build trust, and that makes it one of the more durable career paths going.
Melbourne has a strong, well-connected media and agency scene, which gives anyone in PR & Communications here plenty of room to build a reputation and move upward.
Good communicators are hard to find and easy to promote once a company sees what they can do.
