At Edelman, we are in relentless pursuit of an equitable, impactful, respectful, and culturally curious workplace that drives innovative thinking, cultivates diverse ideas, and promotes true collaboration among our employees and our partners. Each day and on each project, our goal is to ensure that our colleagues bring who they are to our firm - shaping cultural moments and movements at Edelman, with our clients and for society.

Sure, public relations is part of who we are, but in recent years we\'ve changed. We\'re a next generation agency where you have the freedom to do great innovative work and achieve professional fulfillment. Today, we have a strong creative team, outstanding planning capabilities, deep data expertise, and an outstanding digital team that is looking to take communications to the next step.

We are Edelman Canada\'s Crisis & Risk practice - a team of experienced crisis communicators and reputation consultants focused on helping organizations navigate today\'s increasingly complex and ever-evolving risk landscape. Our approach is data-fueled, rooted in trust, connected to culture, and digitally integrated. \

What will your week include?

• You\'ll use your analytical skills and inquisitive mind to help our clients truly understand the issues impacting their reputations, through desktop research and the use of analytical tools.
• You thrive under pressure, ask smart questions, and are motivated by new challenges and identifying new ways of solving problems.
• You\'re an initiative taker - you are organized and proactive; you are always thinking one step ahead.
• You have experience developing a variety of communications materials, including, but not limited to, media holding statements, FAQ documents, backgrounders, social media content, internal communications materials, etc.
• You are in tune with the major societal issues impacting our world today and are keen to help us identify both risks and opportunities impacting our clients\' reputations.
• Ideally, you are bilingual and speak and write fluently in both English and French. French fluency is not a requirement but considered an asset.

Why Choose our Crisis & Risk Team?

• Work alongside some of Canada\'s largest and leading organizations to help them protect their reputations
• Opportunity to interact with and learn from seasoned crisis practitioners from across the global Edelman network
• Join a team where we live our values, show up as our authentic selves and learn something new every day
• Harness the power of a fully integrated marketing and communications firm to help our clients think differently to solve some their most significant business and reputation challenges
