Press secretary

Press secretaries manage relations between an organisation or official and the press. The work involves handling media inquiries, delivering briefings and statements, advising on messaging, managing the flow of information, and representing the organisation to journalists, often under intense scrutiny and pressure.

They work for governments, politicians, and organisations. The role suits articulate, quick-thinking, composed people who can think on their feet under hostile questioning, manage messaging and journalists skilfully, stay calm in crises, and combine deep knowledge of their organisation with the poise and judgment that representing it to the press demands.
