• Formulate the daily information agenda, develop media plans, identify key news leads, and approve talking points with management.
• Develop an event schedule, as well as prepare, organize, and support high-level business events: strategic sessions, working meetings, round tables, board meetings, conferences, and other formats.
• Monitor the information field (media and social networks) related to the organization's activities, identify risks, and prepare response proposals. Organize and issue press releases.
• Participate in crisis communications: prepare rapid responses to media inquiries, coordinate positions with relevant departments.
• Build internal communications, gather factual information, manage document flow in the electronic document management system (EDMS), monitor task deadlines, and prepare reports.
• Coordinate the work of temporary staff and contractors: assign tasks, control quality and deadlines, and accept deliverables.

• Excellent copywriting and editing skills: the ability to write concisely, clearly, structurally, and in a consistent style without unnecessary words.

• Proficient in MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), electronic document management systems (EDMS), and digital analytical tools.
• At least 3 years of experience in PR, press services, media, or editorial work, and media planning skills (experience in government bodies or large state organizations/social projects will be a plus).
