Step into this Strategic Communications Manager role and build something that matters in PR & Communications.
Perth's startup scene has more founders than press officers, which means the ones who can actually shape a narrative get noticed fast.
This business is an early-stage, high-growth company building its public presence from the ground up, and it needs a Strategic Communications Manager who can turn a small budget and a flat team into outsized reach.
There's no legacy playbook here.
You'd be writing it.
Here's what you'll be doing: Build and run the communications strategy across media relations, internal messaging and stakeholder updates Write press releases, executive talking points and thought leadership content that actually sounds like a person wrote it Manage relationships with journalists and industry commentators across the Perth market and beyond Respond to issues and reputational risks quickly, calmly and with a clear head Coordinate messaging around product launches and funding milestones with the founders directly Track coverage and sentiment, then adjust the approach based on what's actually landing Here are the skills you'll need: A few years' experience in PR & Communications, agency or in-house, ideally with startup exposure Sharp writing.
You should be able to turn a complicated idea into three clean sentences Comfortable working without a big team behind you.
This is a role where you own the outcome Some media contacts already in place, or the confidence to build them fast Calm under pressure.
Startups move quickly and plans change on a Tuesday A genuine interest in the sectors this company touches, not just PR as a generic skill Key perks and benefits: Salary of A$50,500 to A$63,500, depending on experience Equity in the business.
You're building it, you should own a piece of it Hybrid working arrangement based in Perth, with real flexibility on hours A learning and development budget you can actually use Flat structure.
You'll talk to the founders often, not just your line manager Why pursue a career in PR & Communications?
Good communicators are getting harder to find and easier to spot.
As more companies compete for attention with smaller budgets, the ones who can tell a clear story win, and that puts skilled people in a strong position.
Perth is producing more startups and scaleups every year, and PR & Communications talent who can operate at pace has real leverage in that market.
This is a career where the work compounds.
Reputation built well now pays off for years.
