Do you know The Age’s headline and also know what the latest TikTok algorithm is serving up? Yeah, we know we’re looking for a unicorn. If this is you, keep on reading…
About us:
Who are we? While you may not be as familiar with Wesfarmers Health (yet!), you would know some of the brands in our portfolio: Priceline Pharmacy, atomica, Clear Skincare, InstantScripts and SILK Laser Clinics to name a few. At Wesfarmers Health, we love what we do and our team is enthusiastic about making health, beauty and wellness experiences simpler, more affordable and easier to access.
About the role:
We’re on the hunt for a PR & Events Specialist to join the Wesfarmers Health team in our Docklands office. In this role no day is the same, but every day is exciting. One day you could be planning a big event, the next writing copy for a media release.
We’re looking for someone who can build solid relationships with media and influencers, and help deliver events to a range of audiences including media, team members and industry professionals.
If this sounds like you, please get in touch with your CV and a cover letter outlining why you are the perfect fit for this role. In your cover letter, also give us an example of an influencer brand collab you’ve seen recently that you think really knocked it out of the park.
The responsibilities for this role include, but are not limited to:
Playing a key role in delivering our annual PR event The Beauty Prescription LIVE, including but not limited to managing the critical path, guest list, logistics, developing creative concepts and managing the coverage report
Playing a key role in other events and activations across the business as they arise – this could be anything from a media event to an internal team member conference, to an Annual General Meeting, to a supplier event
Liaising with PR agencies, including weekly meetings, internal logistics, approvals, time management and post implementation reviews
Managing PR activity for other Wesfarmers Health activity
Managing product and organising PR kit send outs
Developing relationships with media and content creators
Managing PR administration
Our ideal candidate would have the following experience and attributes:
5+ years’ experience in a similar role
Tertiary qualification in PR, Marketing or Journalism; or equivalent Business degree
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with impeccable attention to detail
Demonstrated ability to execute large events
Exceptional organisational skills
Demonstrated understanding of the media landscape – traditional, online and social
Experience in writing media releases, creating news hooks and creating compelling content
The ability to influence at all levels and experience liaising with a range of internal and external stakeholders
Experience in juggling multiple projects under tight deadlines
Creative and energetic, with a ‘can do’ attitude
Curious, with an innate desire to seek to understand
Ability to work under pressure and to tight deadlines
What you’ll get:
A fantastic work culture based off our four values – Start with the Customer, Do with Heart, Work as a Team and Own your Impact
A 20% staff discount at our atomica stores and access to other staff discounts at Bunnings, Kmart, Target, Officeworks, Priceline and Clear Skincare Clinics
