• Collaboration: Align with the wider Bauer Media Audio UK communications team to support business objectives. Attend planning meetings with podcast, content, and marketing teams to integrate communications into wider business strategies.
• Media & Stakeholder Relations: Act as a key point of contact for media, responding to enquiries and representing Bauer. Brief talent for press opportunities, ensuring alignment on key messaging.
• Performance & Analysis: Monitor, report, and analyse podcast PR performance against KPIs, providing actionable insights.

What you will bring
