What is this job about?

As our PR & Communication Manager, you are the voice behind some of the Caribbean's most recognizable brands. You own public relations and communication for The Lab and our clients: shaping the story, managing media and press relationships, writing the words that land, and making sure the right message reaches the right audience at the right moment.

You will work across brands like McDonald's, Iberostar and Kooyman, turning campaigns, launches and milestones into coverage, reputation and trust. One day you are drafting a press release, the next you are briefing a journalist, polishing a client's key message, or steering the communication around a big announcement. If you love a good story and know how to get it told, this is your stage.
