The Role
Blue Blocks Montessori School and the Blue Blocks Micro Research Institute are seeking a high-calibre Strategic Communications & PR Lead.

In this role, you will be the primary engine driving our public narrative, responsible for high-volume content creation and securing media placements that put our work on the global map.

- Global Networking: Build, maintain, and grow a robust database of journalists, editors, and educational influencers.
- Creative Storytelling: Translate complex pedagogical concepts into engaging narratives for diverse audiences, from academic researchers to parents.
- Multimedia Content: Handle ad-hoc, basic video editing for Instagram Reels/Shorts to support school events and research highlights.
- Strategic Autonomy: After an initial onboarding period, you will be expected to manage these streams independently, ensuring consistent growth in our digital and media footprint.
The Ideal Candidate
- The Versatile Writer: You have a chameleon writing style—able to write a technical blog post in the morning and a creative, heart-centered school update in the afternoon.
- Journalistic Grit: A degree in Mass Communication or Journalism with considerable experience in PR or digital media. You know how to find the hook in a story.
- The Hustle: You don't just write; you ensure your work is seen. You have the persistence to follow up with editors and the social savvy to grow online communities.
- Basic Visual Skills: You are comfortable with basic video editing tools to create quick, high-impact social content.
- Independent Mindset: You are a self-starter who can take a brief and scale it into a full-blown communication strategy.
