Job Description:

This isn’t your typical PR role.

We want a creative newsmaker who can spot a story in the everyday, turn industry insight into headlines, and help brands show up in the right places for the right reasons.

We do both B2B and B2C, and we do it differently. We make clients visible through storytelling, not spin.

What you’ll actually be doing:

• Coming up with bold, creative, and reactive stories that cut through the noise
• Pitching and placing expert commentary in national, trade, and online media—where it counts
• Working closely with directors and the PR team to craft narratives that matter
• Spotting angles others miss and turning them into headlines
• Supporting personal brands with media-ready ideas and thought leadership
• Building real journalist relationships—not just sending press releases
• Leading the PR game for each client—strategy, delivery, results
• Owning client communications and ensuring alignment on vision and outcomes
• Researching industry trends, what’s working, and new opportunities
• Writing compelling press releases, media pitches, and other materials
• Staying sharp on industry shifts, PR trends, and media changes
• Leading client meetings and ensuring smooth communication
• Maintaining top-tier client service
• Spotting upsell opportunities and helping existing clients grow
• Participating in new business pitches and bringing fresh ideas
• Managing timelines and budgets effectively
• Continuously seeking ways to improve our work and processes

What we’re looking for:

• 2+ years in a PR agency or in-house, with results to demonstrate
• A passion for storytelling, current affairs, and finding value in the noise
• Excellent writing skills—press releases, media pitches, messaging
• Confidence working across B2B and B2C, adaptable tone
• Strong media contacts and relationship-building skills
• Proactive, full of ideas, and action-oriented

This role is for someone proactive, sharp, and eager to shape brand perception.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you :) This is a chance to be part of a fast-paced, creative, and story-led environment. Are you ready to jump in?

• Bright Exchange

• Tools/equipment provided for duties
