What You’ll Be Doing:

Media Relations & Storytelling

•      Build strong, lasting relationships with top media houses, editors, and journalists across India — from business and trade to regional and lifestyle press.

•      Create media opportunities that help MIL stand out. This means planning press announcements, exclusive interviews, authored articles, and media roundtables.

•      Be the go-to person for media interactions and help prepare our leadership for public appearances and interviews.

•      Monitor media coverage and manage our brand reputation closely.

•      Work with the Group Comms Head to shape and roll out a clear communications strategy for MIL.

•      Help position our MD/CEO as respected voices in the industry — via speaking opportunities, authored pieces, industry platforms, and more.

•      Turn business news and updates into meaningful stories that connect with different audiences.

•      Partner with internal teams and external agencies to create quality content — from press releases and leadership notes to social posts and thought leadership.

•      Ensure that MIL’s voice remains strong and consistent across platforms, especially on LinkedIn and other relevant digital spaces.

•      Build an internal narrative that inspires and engages our people.

•      Drive communication for internal milestones, people news, business wins, and town halls.

•      Support teams like HR, CSR, and ESG with high-quality communication assets.

•      Lead and coordinate with PR agencies, content writers, designers, and other partners.

•      Ensure all partners are aligned on timelines, messaging, and expectations.

•      Track results, measure impact, and share communication performance reports regularly.

•      Use tools and media insights to inform what’s working and what needs to evolve.

What We’re Looking For:

•      6 to 8 years of strong communications and media experience.

•      Deep understanding of India’s media universe, across print, TV, digital, and regional platforms.

•      Excellent storytelling, content writing, and stakeholder management skills.

•      Confident, proactive, and comfortable working in a legacy organisation that’s evolving fast.

•      Prior experience in corporate or brand communications — preferably in manufacturing, textiles, consumer, or B2B spaces.

•      Ability to multitask, think creatively, and work well with leadership and cross-functional teams.
