• Develop and manage social media content calendars. 

• Identify communication opportunities aligned with organisational goals. 

• Create content for videos, articles, carousels, static posts, polls and campaigns. 

• Publish and manage content across platforms, as required.

Minimum Work Experience
6-7 years of experience with 2-4 years in media relations and communications

Who We're Looking For:

• Excellent writing ability, with the discipline to avoid jargon and unnecessary length. 

• The ability to empathise with the audience and simplify content for their understanding. 

• Ethical writing that is accurate, respectful, interesting and grounded in facts. 

• Strong attention to detail across facts, language, formats and deadlines. 

• The ability to come up with different angles to convey stories or key messages.

• The ability to manage multiple deliverables simultaneously without losing quality.

• Basic comfort with social media performance analysis and the willingness to learn more through training or self-learning. 

What Matters More Than Industry Experience 
Prior pharmaceutical or healthcare experience is useful, but not mandatory. Curiosity, learning agility and strong communication fundamentals matter more. The person should be willing to learn new subjects quickly, understand complex business and scientific topics, and translate them into communication that people can understand and act upon.
