* Have proven team leadership, people management, and mentor skills.
* Experience in managing accounts and client needs on a day‐to‐day basis.
* Be capable of driving strategy, have strong critical thinking skills, and a sense of creativity for a number of public relations campaigns/accounts, ensuring satisfaction across your client portfolio.
* Be able to develop scopes of work and budgets, manage service levels with meeting deliverables, while keeping teams engaged and motivated.
Benefits & Work Environment
* 20 days annual leave per year, 10 days wellness leave per year, which can be taken for physical or mental wellbeing, as well as Christmas to New Year's Day off in addition to your leave allowance.
* Every Slinger also has access to an additional 2 days per calendar year to use as they wish and 2 additional days to volunteer their time to a charity.
* We're supportive of parents and believe in inclusivity regardless of whether you're considered the primary and secondary carer: we offer up to 12 weeks Paid Parental Leave for anyone, and in the unfortunate circumstance of baby loss, up to 8 weeks Paid Compassionate Pregnancy Loss Leave.
* We enjoy Meeting Free Fridays so everyone gets a full day of uninterrupted focus time.
