Director, Public Relations FaceTime Communications

Overview:

Aggressive, but personable. Driven, creative, passionate. You eat, sleep and breathe results (and that's just before breakfast). Boring is NOT in your vocabulary, pushing the envelope and well being somewhat creative very definitely is.

You really are extraordinary - and you're looking for your next out of the ordinary challenge. Here at Actiance we have a great story to tell and we need your help. We believe fundamentally in the power of PR - and we're looking for the right individual to make that happen.

You'll manage our US and EMEA PR resources, so you'll need to speak global and you'll be as comfortable and confident talking strategy with our senior team, as you are picking up the phone and pushing an agenda forward.
