Do you love the creative process of bringing a brand story to life? Are you obsessed with ensuring communications and campaigns are always on point? Are you constantly looking for new ways to measure the impact of your marketing communications work? 

We are looking for a Junior Marketing Communications and Social Media Manager who will take a role in helping us shape public and client perception of Star.
