• Build and manage a network of journalists, analysts, and industry influencers to drive proactive, always-on media buzz.
• Track media coverage and translate it into share-of-voice and sentiment metrics, delivering actionable insights that inform PR strategy.
• Support crisis communications and reputation management, acting as the first line of response for sensitive issues in the region.
• Guide social media content to ensure a consistent brand voice across external channels, including LinkedIn, Meta and WeChat (with vendor).

Requirements:

• 5-8 years of PR/corporate communications experience, ideally with a mix of in-house and agency work at a B2B tech or MNC brand.
• Proven track record designing and executing PR strategies that generated measurable media and business impact.
• Native or professional fluency in Mandarin Chinese, with strong business-level English for global stakeholder collaboration.
• Established relationships with regional business, tech, and industry media—ready to activate from day one.
• Sharp news judgment and crisis-management instincts, with the composure to lead through ambiguity and fast-moving situations.
• Independent, strategic thinker who can operate autonomously while influencing senior stakeholders across a matrixed organization.
• Bachelor's degree in Communications, Journalism, Marketing, or a related field; passion for AI and emerging technology is a strong plus.
• Comfortable working independently in a flexible capacity while staying responsive to time-sensitive media and stakeholder needs.
