• Draft, edit and review a range of content — from press releases to campaign plans — maintaining impeccable standards.

• Support strategy, contributing to campaign briefs, tracking progress against targets, and having a view on how to improve things.

• Manage reporting activity — ensuring accurate reporting of results and producing monthly activity reports which provide valuable insights for the business.

• Generate and develop PR ideas, collaborating with our agencies.

• Work with internal stakeholders to draw news and data out of the business which can be harnessed for PR.

It's a Bonus If You Have

• Experience working with investing brands.

• Experience managing agencies.

• Existing relationships with financial journalists across Singapore or APAC.

What Will You Need for This Role?

• 7+ years of experience: Ideally from a fast-paced PR agency, tech or fintech business, or in national journalism in Singapore or the wider APAC region.

• Creativity: You should be comfortable coming up with ideas for pitches and data stories and contribute creatively to the development of campaigns.

• Exemplary writing skills: AI may have sped up the process, but you will still need strong writing and editing skills and the ability to deliver at speed.

• A passion for numbers: A lot of our content focuses on market performance, trends, returns and statistics — you need to enjoy this aspect of the job.

• Ruthless attention to detail: You will produce and review a lot of newsroom content and should be someone who scrutinises every word, every number and every bit of punctuation.

• Investing knowledge: While we don't expect you to be an expert from the start, you will need a good understanding of investing, asset classes, what makes markets move, macro triggers, and companies.

• Strong time-management skills: This is a fast-paced role — we need someone who stays calm under pressure and delivers on time.

• Help manage the APAC appointed PR agency across the region, ensuring they deliver high-quality work and produce excellent results.
