We'd be particularly excited if you also have

• A background in technology PR, fintech, financial services, innovation or societal affairs.
• Experience working with well‑known brands, recognised founders or high‑profile companies.
• A strong network across business, technology, financial or national media.
• International PR experience and experience working across multiple markets.
• Experience from a leading PR agency, scale‑up or high‑growth company.
