Job description

Brighton and Hove

Do you have a knack for PR & Comms that combines creativity, precision, and a little bit of pzazz? Are you equally comfortable talking beauty trends, aesthetics, or complex healthcare communications? If yes, we might have the perfect role for you.

We're on the lookout for mid-to-senior PR pros to join a small but mighty Brighton based agency. You'll lead exciting projects across beauty, aesthetics, and healthcare sectors, blending creativity and expertise on both UK and / or international campaigns.

Responsibilities

• Lead PR and content projects across beauty, aesthetics, and healthcare - from social campaigns to global initiatives.
• Manage media relations, brainstorm content ideas, and translate complex medical or scientific information into engaging communications.
• Conduct weekly client check-ins - coordinating copywriters, medical writers, and other specialists while keeping expectations crystal clear.
• Draft press materials, roundtable documents, and monitor industry press to spot opportunities for standout content.
• Mentor junior team members and share your expertise to raise the bar across the agency.

Qualifications

• PR/comms experience in beauty or aesthetics is essential.
• Strong project management skills - juggling multiple campaigns is your jam.
• Experience with Veeva is a bonus.
• Confident, knowledgeable, and spunky - strategic enough to plan, practical enough to execute.
• Excellent writing, storytelling, and presentation skills.

Benefits

• Flexible, hybrid working - 1 day per week in the Brighton office, the rest around your schedule.
• Small, friendly, down-to-earth team - no big egos, lots of laughs.
• Work directly with the Founder and enjoy a globally impactful role without the bureaucracy of a big agency.
• Established 9 years ago by beauty and healthcare experts, they have grown steadily and sustainably - most of the team have kids, dogs, or both!
• A culture of integrity, creativity, and support, where your ideas are heard and celebrated.

Unless otherwise stated, if applying for a job within the UK or European Union, you must ensure that you are to work there.
