About the role

You’ll be the key driver of SkyNRG’s public narrative, leading PR and communications both externally and internally. Your expertise in media relations, content development, and strategic messaging will help us scale our impact and transition from agency-led PR to a strong in-house capability.

Success in this role means that within 6–12 months, you will have established new media connections, secured high-quality coverage, successfully set up key media events and milestones, and helped positioned our executives as thought leaders in the aviation sustainability space.

Some of your responsibilities will include:

• Acting as the first point of contact for media inquiries and building strong journalist relationships.
• Drafting and distributing press releases, op-eds, and media statements.
• Supporting leadership with thought-leadership content, speeches, and interviews.

• Running internal communications (newsletters, town halls, leadership updates).
• Coordinating with our events team to ensure media presence at key milestones and industry events.
• Supporting crisis communication readiness and maintaining a crisis playbook.
• Tracking PR effectiveness and media sentiment, providing insights and reporting against KPIs.
• Managing award applications and recognition programs.
• Monitoring competitor communications and sector news to keep our team informed.
