Job description

How would you like the opportunity to head up, shape and build a PR & Earned Media offering within an already established, successful creative and media agency?

We're talking about creating something, shaping the offering and making it your own.

If you're a PR professional who enjoys variety, building relationships, spotting opportunities and having a genuine influence on the direction of a business, this could be right up your street!

The Opportunity:

Our client has an impressive portfolio of clients and a fantastic reputation. They've built some brilliant relationships over the years, and their clients love working with them. In fact, they're increasingly asking for something more...

"Can you support us with PR, Social & Earned Media?"

And that's where you come in!

We're looking for someone with solid experience across PR, Social Media, Influencer Marketing and the wider Earned Media landscape.

You'll have the opportunity to connect with existing clients, understand their needs and identify where PR and Earned Media can add value.

You'll also play a key role in developing the offering, creating new opportunities, pitching ideas and winning new business.

This is a role where you'll have real ownership, plenty of scope to bring your own ideas to the table and the opportunity to make a genuine impact on the agency's future.

The Team & Culture:

Our client have a fantastic office space in central Manchester, and it's genuinely the sort of environment you'd want to be part of. There's a real buzz about the place, but without any of the unnecessary corporate nonsense. It's relaxed, welcoming and somewhere people clearly enjoy coming to work.

They mainly work from the office, with the flexibility to work from home one day a week, alongside flexible start and finish times.

So, who might this suit?

• Someone who had led this sort of function / team previously
• Someone ready for something a little different.
• Someone who is confident to lead and spot opportunities, build relationships and help grow a new offering.

If that sounds like you, I'd love to hear from you!
