Job description

Join an enterprise PR & Communications company as a PR Manager in Bristol.

Reputation moves fast now. A single misjudged statement can spread across social media before a press office even knows about it, and the organisations that handle this well are the ones investing properly in PR & Communications talent. This particular business has spent years building a name as one of the sector's established players, and it needs a PR Manager in Bristol who can hold the line when it matters and spot the opportunity when it counts.

You'd be joining a large, structured organisation rather than a scrappy start-up. That means clear reporting lines, established frameworks for how campaigns get approved and measured, and genuine investment in your development as a PR Manager. Large-scale projects come with the territory here.

Here's what you'll be doing:

Plan and deliver PR campaigns that support wider business goals, from product launches to reputation management

Write and issue press releases, statements and media briefings that actually get picked up

Build and maintain relationships with journalists, editors and industry commentators across relevant trade and national press

Manage crisis communications when they arise, drafting holding statements and coordinating the response with senior stakeholders

Track coverage and campaign performance, then report back with numbers that mean something to non-specialists

Brief internal teams and senior leaders ahead of interviews, panels and public appearances

Here are the skills you'll need:

Several years' experience in a PR or communications role, ideally with some agency or in-house media relations background

Strong writing skills. You need to be able to switch tone between a formal statement and a punchy pitch email

Confidence handling pressure. Crisis moments don't wait for a convenient time

A working knowledge of media monitoring and coverage reporting tools

The judgement to know when something needs escalating and when it doesn't

Comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders and defending your recommendations

Key perks and benefits:

Salary of £30,500 to £44,500, depending on experience

Hybrid working, splitting time between home and the Bristol office

Private medical and dental insurance

Enhanced pension scheme and performance-based bonuses

A comprehensive benefits package built for people who want to stay long term

Why pursue a career in PR & Communications?

PR & Communications has grown well beyond press releases and photo calls. It now sits close to the centre of how businesses manage risk, build trust and shape public perception, which means the demand for skilled PR Manager talent keeps climbing. Bristol has become a genuine hub for this kind of work, with a growing cluster of agencies and enterprise communications teams based in and around the city. Get good at this job and the ceiling is high. Few careers reward sharp instincts and calm judgement quite so directly.
