• Team player – willingness to pitch in to help Laura Bishop Communications fulfill all clients’ marketing communications/public relations missions, plans and timelines

The ideal candidate is a curious and calculated risk-taker, willing to continually challenge oneself. Experience with layout and design is a plus, but not required. Ditto for bilingual skills.
