You are someone who naturally notices what gets attention, what people talk about and why certain brands stand out. You are curious, creative and proactive, but also organised enough to turn ideas into action.

You enjoy writing, spotting trends and thinking beyond traditional communication. You are not afraid to propose unconventional ideas or test new concepts to create visibility and engagement.

You are comfortable working independently, taking ownership and moving fast in a dynamic environment. At the same time, you understand the importance of structure, follow-up and professional communication when working with agencies, media contacts and external partners.

The ideal candidate is:

• Creative but also hands-on
• Digitally and culturally aware
• Strong in writing and storytelling
• Interested in PR, social media and brand visibility
• Curious about viral culture and modern communication
• Proactive and solution-oriented
• Comfortable balancing strategic thinking with execution
• Eager to learn and contribute with real ownership
