Profile
You’ll have a passion for media relations, digital and social marketing, and content development, given the wide variety of campaigns we run.

You are ambitious, autonomous, proactive and able to adapt quickly. Curiosity is also an essential quality for success in this role... You have a very good writing style and good people skills. You are perfectly fluent in English. You want to work in a healthy environment with an Anglo-Saxon culture!
Key elements of the role include:
- Language skills: This role is primarily aimed at the French market, which is why you should be a native French speaker. However, as we are a global agency, your English should be fluent. Additional languages are very much welcomed.
- Client relations and account management: you will participate in the development and follow-up of communication campaigns for a portfolio of clients with the aim of developing and advancing each account and ensuring the satisfaction of the clients for whom you are responsable.
- Media relations: you will contribute to maintaining press relations in order to support clients' launch strategies, building further on a strong network of media contacts, and working smartly with all members of your team (in France and internationally).
- Thinking with an integrated mindset: Use experience with campaigns across media relations, social media, events, digital and owned content to put forward exciting ideas to clients and help grow accounts organically
- High quality copywriting: Write engaging content for a variety of purposes (blogs, press releases, expert opinions, case studies), and ensure the highest quality of content shared with clients.
- Problem solving: Think ahead to spot any potential obstacles across accounts and flag these to your senior leads, working with them to navigate around any issues and keep projects and account work on track
- Communication skills: Use these skills to build strong relationships with both clients and journalists, and help campaigns run smoothly through thoughtful internal communication with the whole team.
- Marketing: Get involved in the global Hoffman blog and our own European marketing activity to further build our brand awareness.
- Time management: Aptitude to deliver work on different campaigns on deadline and manage to meet, if not exceed, client deliverables
- Reporting: you will ensure quality on reporting to ensure coverage, results and reports are shared in a timely manner for clients.
- Soft skills: a “can do” attitude, and the ability to work independently, but know when to escalate issues and seek help and support
