Job description

Harris Hill has a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Media and PR Manager to join a charity on the Essex/ Hertfordshire border for 1- 3 months, hybrid based, with 2dpw in the office.

This role is covering an interim period whilst they seek someone long term, so this could well be an option too, for the successful candidate.

The client is looking for a highly motivated candidate, with a strong proactive media relations background. The charity is looking to promote the work of the charity, as they feel their work is not understood by the general public.

The organisation has a PR agency that look after their PR and PA, so you will develop a strategy to push the organisations work.

The client would like to see not only a strong proactive media background, but also someone who has a good sense of spotting a story, and selling in.

If you would like to see a formal JD and more details about the organisation, please get in touch.
