Job description

Step into this Senior Communications Executive role and build something that matters in PR & Communications.

Aberdeen's energy and industrial sectors run on reputation as much as output, and the organisations that get PR & Communications right stay ahead of the story rather than reacting to it. This enterprise business, an established leader in its field, is looking for a Senior Communications Executive to support that effort day to day. You'd be joining a team with proper structure behind it: clear reporting lines, established frameworks, and large-scale projects that actually move the needle.

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

• Draft press releases, briefing documents and internal communications that hold up to scrutiny
• Build and maintain relationships with journalists and media contacts across relevant trade and national outlets
• Support the delivery of integrated PR campaigns alongside senior colleagues
• Monitor coverage and sentiment, flagging issues before they become problems
• Coordinate internal stakeholders to keep messaging consistent across departments
• Contribute to crisis communications planning when required

Here are the skills you'll need:

• A couple of years' experience in a PR, communications or journalism role
• Strong written English with an eye for tone and accuracy
• Comfortable working to deadlines without losing quality
• Good instincts for what makes a story newsworthy, and what doesn't
• Confidence liaising with senior stakeholders and external media
• Organised enough to run several workstreams at once

Key perks and benefits:

• £25,000 to £32,500, depending on experience
• Hybrid working, with time split between home and the Aberdeen office
• Private medical and dental insurance
• Enhanced pension scheme
• Performance-based bonuses on top of salary

Why pursue a career in PR & Communications?

PR & Communications rewards people who can write fast, think faster, and stay calm when a story breaks at 5pm on a Friday. Aberdeen's mix of energy, industry and professional services gives this Senior Communications Executive role a genuinely varied workload, and the career path from here is well mapped: account management, in-house leadership, or agency partner track. Few sectors move this quickly or teach you as much in the first few years.
