Requirements

• With at least 10 years of agency or corporate experience, you know the work, you know the industry and you know how to deliver. You're a natural at building PR plans that actually work, helping clients hit their goals, and knowing exactly when to create a moment versus when to let one unfold. You do all of this on time, on budget and without breaking a sweat (okay, maybe a little sweat).
