Job Description

Job Title: Senior Manager / Director PR
Location: Delhi
Job Overview:
We are looking for a senior PR and communications leader who can strategically build reputation,
credibility, and influence. This role goes far beyond media relations--it requires deep understanding of the
ecosystem, strong relationships within the system, and the ability to shape narratives that position the
organisation as a serious, credible, long-term player.
The role will own PR strategy, story angles, event representation, and visibility across the right
platforms--media, policy-adjacent forums, industry events, and awards.
Key Responsibilities:
Strategic PR & Narrative Building

• Develop and own the long-term PR and reputation strategy
• Identify compelling, credible story angles aligned with business, policy, and industry narratives
• Shape messaging that positions the organisation as a trusted, high-impact leader--not a loud

brand
Media & System Relationships

• Leverage strong relationships with top-tier journalists, editors, and ecosystem stakeholders
• Navigate the "system" effectively--industry bodies, policy-linked forums, trade publications, and

influence networks

• Secure meaningful coverage in the right publications, not just volume-driven visibility

Event, Awards & Platform Strategy

• Identify and strategically participate in relevant industry events, forums, and conferences
• Evaluate and pursue awards that strengthen credibility and long-term reputation
• Represent the organisation at select events, panels, and closed-door forums when required

Leadership Visibility & Thought Leadership

• Build leadership profiles through interviews, op-eds, panel opportunities, and speaking

engagements

• Translate business milestones and industry insights into credible thought leadership
• Advise leadership on positioning, messaging, and public presence

Agency & Execution Oversight

• Manage PR agencies and partners, setting clear direction and standards
• Review and guide press materials, announcements, and responses
• Ensure consistency, credibility, and strategic alignment across all communications

Crisis & Sensitive Communication (as needed)

• Act as a trusted advisor during sensitive or high-stakes situations
• Manage responses with clarity, discretion, and strategic judgment

Requirements

• 10-15 years of experience in PR, corporate communications, or public affairs
• Strong, demonstrable relationships within media, industry, and institutional ecosystems
• Experience working with infrastructure, energy, policy-adjacent, or B2B-heavy sectors preferred
• Proven track record of placing stories strategically, not opportunistically
• Comfortable representing the organisation at senior forums and events
