COMMS & PR MANAGER

We're looking for a clever and ambitious PR operator to join our busy agency - covering everything from Better Beer launches with the Inspired Unemployed, gamer sends with Logitech, burger reviews with BurgerFuel and more food and drink clients than you can shake a stick at.

You name it; Undertow has pretty much done it.

While we're wanting someone with precision and process, we also want someone who can hold a room, read a room and has a fist full of media friends.

Ideally you will have a few years of experience working in PR or an adjacent industry (agency experience always a bonus). We will shape the role for the right person so if you've been around the block a few times or are just starting out on your PR career, we're keen to hear from you too.

Skills:

• Broad knowledge of media and influencer landscapes
• Strategic thinker with an ability to recognise networking opportunities
• AI literacy - we're all about a smart and reliable co-worker!
• Robust account and client management
• Creativity – you’ll excite and inspire with your ideas
• Excellent written and verbal skills – attention to detail is a must!
• Ability to deliver under pressure and juggle like a pro
• Epic organisational skills and a love for processes
• A willingness to learn, but also lead by example
• Enthusiasm for our story and our clients
• Experience managing both up & down (for experienced practitioners)
• Tenacity in droves
• Charisma and a positive attitude

About us:

• Speedy progression opportunities to move through the business

• A modern showroom and office space (shared with a celeb and talent agency) that’s a hop and skip from the bars and restaurants of Ponsonby

• Easy parking in the 'hood

• Personal development program

• A crew of hardworking, coffee snobs and chippie eaters

• Culture that celebrates success, birthdays, work milestones (and everything in between)

• Wellbeing and benefits policy that includes mental health days, training and rewards for great work

• Social club and team days out for laser tag, dinners, boxing classes, margarita masterclasses – you name it, we do it!

If this sounds like you, apply now! Please include your CV as well as a cover letter that shows why you think you'd be a good fit.

Please note only applicants that progress to the interview stage will be contacted. To be successful in this role you must possess a full, clean NZ-qualified driver license and NZ residency.
