  • Flexibility to work in a matrix environment, balancing priorities and resolving challenges with tenacity and diplomacy.
  • Deep understanding of how diversity, inclusion, and ESG intersect with corporate PR strategies.
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, including press releases and media stories.
