- You will work across teams and countries to get the right stories to serve at the right time
- We will have some infrastructure in place, but we’re flying the plane as we build it - so this role will be best for those who are comfortable with ambiguity, and a ‘find a way, or make a way’ attitude

// day-to-day activities
- Support the leading of quarterly Townhall agendas across our 8 markets - working closely with the in-country People Operations teams and Internal Communications Manager
- Gather data from different offices on their communications needs and propose hyperlocal communications experiences as needed
- Support the planning of the content calendar for scaleable and small group communications, and the execution of such communications initiatives

// function requirements

- Expert multi-tasker and experience with project management - you will be working with various teams across Grab and the region, managing events and multiple timelines. You must be able to multitask and coordinate!
- Creativity, grit, hunger and a passion for engaging, delighting and surprising our Grabbers - you have the opportunity to shape communications across a fast-growing company - bring your all to the table!

Hi all - Kai here. Added info on the full-time, straight from Ogilvy:

Am specifically looking for someone to join my team where we handle primarily corporate reputation work (I.e. C-suite engagement and profiling, crisis and issues management) for more complex industries like finance and insurance, transportation and agriculture which I also recognise may not suit everyone.

That said, these are also big agency clients which present opportunities for the person to work on integrated accounts, deepen skills in both PR and social as a priority, and work across the network.

PM @kaitsi and I'll put you in touch.

Can also provide more context on this.

Understand both these opps are quite PR-focused: if you're a comms major wondering what else you can do with your degree, feel free to pm me as well.

Hi everyone, Shopee's regional PR team is looking to hire. The following positions are open:

1. Junior Exec (fresh grads welcome)
2. Senior Exec (~2-3 years PR experience)

Key Responsibilities:
- Assist local teams with the development and implementation of PR initiatives across the region to achieve maximum visibility across different media platforms.
- Perform media monitoring and coverage reporting for Shopee’s 7 markets.
- Perform competitor tracking and industry trends monitoring.
- Identify media trends, news cycles and key media opportunities across the region.
- Analyze and measure performance of regional PR programs.
- Assist in development and production / review and coordination of branding and communications materials.

Please send across your resume to Amanda at amanda.yew@shopee.com if you're interested. Thanks!
