Communications Specialist Job at Heidi (Melbourne)

Job Description

We’re looking for a Communications Specialist with a few years of experience under their belt — ideally someone making their first move in-house after cutting their teeth at a PR agency or tech company. This is a hands-on role for someone who’s hungry, highly organised, and excited to take ownership, move fast, and prove themselves at every opportunity. You’ll work closely with the Global Head of Communications to shape how Heidi shows up in the world — not just through great storytelling, but through sharp execution, strong processes, and calm control of multiple moving parts. This is a brilliant role for someone who thrives on momentum, loves getting stuck in, and wants real responsibility early on. This is a chance to step into an in-house role where your work will be seen, valued and trusted. You’ll get real ownership, close exposure to decision-makers, and the space to grow quickly if you bring the drive, organisation and follow-through we’re looking for.
