Senior PR & Marketing Manager

Join to apply for the Senior PR & Marketing Manager role at House of Hackney

Based in London Office, Shoreditch (onsite). Working Pattern: full time – 4‑day week scheme.

The stated salary range, experience and background is a guide and does not preclude applications from candidates with more or less experience, provided the requisite skills and passion for the brand can be demonstrated.

Our Purpose:

House of Hackney is a restoration project rooted in Nature, Craft, Community and Awe! Inspired by Nature’s living systems, we use creativity and business as catalysts to regenerate our common home. We are deeply committed to shifting from being a B Corp sustainable business to a truly regenerative one, giving back more than we take. We are a work in progress and the successful candidate will have an innovative and proactive approach in everything they do to support this commitment and our wider mission.

The Role:

We’re looking for an exceptional Senior PR & Marketing Manager to tell our brand story far and wide: across press, influencers, in real life and all other brand channels. This role requires equal confidence in crafting compelling traditional PR and brand media campaigns and navigating the fast‑moving world of digital influencers and affiliates. You’ll be the go‑to for building and nurturing relationships with journalists, industry tastemakers, collaborators, influencers and our Founders – and you’ll take full ownership of the House of Hackney brand marketing and events calendar: originating, planning and executing everything from intimate press previews to high‑impact brand experiences. The ideal candidate thrives on human connection, meticulous organisation and seeing ideas come to life. Experience in interiors and a track record of delivering results in both UK and US markets will set you apart.

Key Responsibilities

• Set the brand Marketing strategies (inc. PR, Influencer, Events and Media) in line with and in support of the wider business objectives, both commercial and regenerative.
• Be the go‑to person for all Brand Marketing activities.
• Manage the Brand Marketing budget effectively, ensuring maximum impact and return on investment.
• Collaborate across multiple departments (including Marketing, Content, Product and Sales) to deliver cohesive brand storytelling.
• Deputise for the Customer & Strategy Director when required.
• Champion a positive, collaborative working culture that balances creativity with operational excellence.
• Lead by example through excellent communication, creative thinking and proactive problem‑solving.

Public Relations

• Lead and own the development and delivery of PR strategies that drive brand awareness in relevant, quality titles.
• Pitch stories to interiors, sustainability, national and business media in both the UK and US markets.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with journalists, editors, influencers and industry tastemakers.
• Brief and distribute press releases, media alerts and editorial content.

Influencer Engagement

• Identify, negotiate and manage partnerships with relevant and aligned influencers across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack and beyond.
• Ensure influencer activity aligns with brand values, campaign objectives and content quality standards.
• Ownership and tracking of performance and ROI, feeding insights into your future strategy.

Events

• Lead and own the planning, organising and delivery of brand events, from intimate dinners to big brand activations to consumer workshops.
• Manage guest lists, invitations, budgets and supplier coordination.
• Represent the brand at events and ensure a best‑in‑class guest experience for all attendees.

Relationship Management

• Act as a key connector between House of Hackney’s founders, leadership team and external partners, including press, influencers, industry tastemakers and collaborators.
• Internal stakeholder management, ensuring PR and Brand Marketing activity is understood and expectations are managed and met.
• Represent the brand with warmth, professionalism and confidence across all interactions.
• Foster meaningful, long‑term relationships that support the brand’s creative, commercial and cultural goals.
• Work closely with the rest of the Marketing and Content team to ensure cohesive messaging and campaign delivery.
• Liaise with the US‑based team and to ensure market relevance.
• Support Affiliate programme activity where required, helping to optimise partnerships and track performance.

Requirements

• Proven experience in a senior PR role with equal strength in traditional media and digital/influencer engagement.
• Event management experience from concept to execution.
• Exceptional interpersonal skills and a genuine enjoyment of building relationships.
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects.
• Experience managing a budget, and working collaboratively with finance teams to optimise and reconcile budget plans.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Network of interiors media and influencer contacts in both the UK and US.
• Experience managing or supporting affiliate marketing programmes.

Benefits

• 22 Days holiday allowance + ½ a day for your Birthday + Bank Holidays
• 4‑Day Week Scheme opt‑in – Nature Days
• Cycle to Work Loan Scheme
• Payday drinks social every month
• At least two exciting large team gatherings per year
• Monthly team lunches as part of our team meetings
