• Lead the development of high-quality outputs including op-eds, press materials, talking points, and briefing decks - aligned to clients' objectives

• Partner with senior team members to shape communications strategy and contribute meaningfully to internal and external discussions and presentations

• Collaborate across policy, narrative, and creative teams to produce integrated, coherent deliverables

• Support the development of junior team members through guidance, feedback, and quality control on outputs

​

What We’re Looking For​

​

• Demonstrated ability to drive workstreams effectively towards strong outcomes

• Developing expertise in strategic communications and media engagement, with the ability to think and operate in an integrated public affairs context

• Sound judgement, professionalism, and intellectual rigour

• Comfortable operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with evolving priorities

​

Experience & Skills​

​You should have:

• 4-6 years of experience in strategic communications, media relations, journalism, or a related field

• Strong writing, research, and critical thinking skills, with the ability to write for both a regulator and a journalist

• Sound understanding of political, media, or industry dynamics across Asia-Pacific

​

Bonus points if: 

• Have experience in media relations, journalism, or corporate/agency communications specifically

• Have worked in-house at a tech company, in an industry association, or with government communications teams

• Enjoy translating complex policy issues into clear, compelling narratives
