Public Relations Executive

About Us:

Morning Star is a communications advisory firm specializing in corporate reputation, crisis preparedness, and strategic media relations. We partner with businesses that take their reputation seriously from legacy institutions to high-growth challengers helping them communicate clearly, credibly, and consistently in a world of constant scrutiny.

We're looking for a PR Executive who is analytical, articulate, and intellectually curious someone who understands that great communication isn't about spin, but substance.

What This Role Involves:

You will work alongside a senior team on mandates that include corporate positioning, issue management, media engagement, and thought leadership. The role involves both thinking and doing: researching, writing, tracking, and engaging across multiple workstreams.

This is not a creative ad agency job. It's an opportunity to contribute to the kind of communication that shapes reputations, influences perception, and earns trust often in high-stakes or high-visibility scenarios.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support corporate communication strategies through media research, content development, and outreach
• Draft briefing notes, media pitches, responses, FAQs, and backgrounders
• Monitor news cycles, identify reputational risks, and track client coverage
• Maintain and update journalist databases, industry notes, and press kits
• Assist in preparing clients for media interactions and public statements
• Participate in internal and external meetings, keeping tasks and timelines on track

Clients in sectors : Education, Logistics, Auto, Fintech, Manufacturing, Startups, Tech / AI, Retail, Lifestyle to name a few

Who This Role Is For:

We value skills over labels and welcome candidates from PR, consulting, client servicing, or other client-facing, research-heavy roles. What matters is your ability to think clearly, write well, and navigate complexity with confidence.

You're likely a good fit if you:

• 1- 2 years of Prior experience as PR executive
• Are an excellent communicator (written + verbal) with a nose for nuance
• Can break down complex issues into clear, actionable ideas
• Are thorough with research and comfortable working with limited information
• Stay calm under pressure and are quick to adapt
• Take ownership of tasks and timelines without being micromanaged
• Are interested in how companies shape public perception, handle scrutiny, and build credibility over time

What You'll Get:

• Direct exposure to strategic communication work with decision-makers
• A chance to work on real issues that matter to real businesses
• Mentorship from experienced professionals in a collaborative, low-ego environment
• Opportunities to grow into advisory and client-facing roles over time

• Office Location: Wagle Estate, Thane.
• This role requires daily presence at the office. We're looking for candidates currently based in Mumbai / Thane / Navi Mumbai.
• Please apply only if you can commute to Thane without requiring relocation.
