We need a media relations specialist to revolutionise our approach to dealing with the media. You will work with our client teams to:

Maintain our database of media contacts (you’ll have some admin support on this)
Build our relationships with key journalists (you’ll have your own entertainment budget and we would hope you would be creative in how you spend it)
Plan media relations campaigns
Manage media pitches (you’ll have the support of account teams but you will be doing a lot of the pitching yourself)
Liaise with clients, journalists and our account teams to make sure that journalists get all the information they need from our clients and have a positive experience dealing with the media.
Follow up to ensure media interactions result in coverage.
Manage TopLine’s own media profile.
Bang the success gong regularly when you generate media hits.

You’ll be so good at this that within a year you will become our head of media relations and start recruiting your own team. It’ll grow and become a point of difference within the agency. Your colleagues will love you. Clients will think you’re a rock star. Journalists will tweet about how great you are. We’ll win awards off the back of your creativity and smooth people handling (account teams will also deserve some of the credit here).

You’re ideal for this role if you:

Have proven media relations experience – you know what it takes to make good coverage happen.
Love technology (we operate in the tech space).
Strike the perfect balance between being organised and being creative.
Are a pleasure to work with – you’re considerate of colleagues, generally great to have around, and punctual.

We offer great benefits, an excellent work environment and the opportunity to work with inspiring entrepreneurs (most of our clients are the kind of tech entrepreneurs we all wish we were!), build an amazing network and become a high-profile specialist yourself (there’s heaps of opportunity to build your own profile).
