• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
• Experience in generating earned media for consumer-focused brands and in successfully pitching all types of media including traditional, digital and social
• A creative storyteller with a knack for crafting unique and differentiated ways to convey CAVA’s message
• Strong organizational skills and ability to juggle multiple projects at once in a fast-paced, team environment
• Independent thinker, team player with a strong understanding of internal and external clients and needs/priorities
• Strong work ethic, highly action-oriented, deadline-driven, resourceful, can effectively take a project or program from start to completion
• Experience in developing productive relationships with partners, influencers, and media
We offer:
