The media relations team is a hardworking and dynamic division of the corporate communications department. It is responsible for designing and implementing media strategies globally that encompass the company's operations, finances, business strategy and senior management. It also works closely with the product and brand communication teams. As well as proactive media work, the team also takes care of media enquiries and runs set piece media events such as motor shows and financial results announcements. The team is also responsible for the immediate assessment of the media implications of developing crisis situations.
As a result, the media relations team is always on duty and often works on tight and pressing deadlines in stressful situations. The hours can also be long. The right candidate will thrive on pressure and be able to handle other team members and members of the press who are under similar pressure.
The nature of the job means you are closely connected to the inner workings of the company and its management. You are also able to contribute to the way both are perceived by the global media and by extension the company's customers, owners, employees and the societies in which Volvo does business. It is, as a direct result, a position that carries with it fundamental responsibilities such as integrity, professionalism, clarity of thought and expression, accuracy and the ability to be an ambassador for the firm.
The position would best suit a candidate with the following qualifications:
- a creative media relations professional with a good working knowledge of Volvo cars and the auto industry globally
- an understanding of how journalists work and think
- an ideas generator, able to conceive of and pitch news stories to the global media and push ideas through to publication
- able to spot and exploit communications opportunities that unite product, brand and corporate communications
- a social and outgoing person able to build good working relations with professional journalists
- able to think imaginatively around financial numbers and devise strong financial and operational stories for the business media
- a good and quick writer
- an ability to give and receive constructive criticism and then move on to the next project
- an ability to work quickly and independently
The main responsibilities include:
- devising and implementing pro-active media strategies alone and in association with team members
- writing press releases and responses to press enquiries on deadline
- devising media strategies for immediate implementation in crisis and rolling news situations
- building trust based relationships with key journalists globally
- able to steer journalists to particular angles
- working closely with the product and brand communications to ensure cohesive communications
Personal profile:
The right candidate will likely have worked as a journalist for at least five years, preferably for a local or an international business media outlet. S/he must have a nose for news, able to see an angle that might interest a journalist and then pitch that idea. S/he must also be able to write and have an instinctive understanding of how to present information in the right order and in a manner that is likely to appeal to reporters and editors. The candidate must also have a lively curiosity about news and current affairs across the global automotive industry.
