You will represent local campaign needs such as editorial assets, content, talent access, and promotional opportunities to PR leaders, lead the expansion of global PR initiatives to drive box-office growth, and ensure all territories are aligned on strategy and resourced appropriately.

Additional duties include providing strategic counsel on cultural nuances and market-specific opportunities, collaborating with cross-functional teams to identify tentpole PR moments, overseeing PR events, press tours, international junkets, set visits, stunts, and leading regional festival strategy.
