We are looking for a dynamic and resourceful Press & PR Manager to amplify the output at this leading broadcaster.  You would be the primary media contact in this position, responding to enquiries whilst proactively identifying and seeking out opportunities.  This is a hands on role, requiring a strategic bran as much as a "doing" the day to day role, liaising with journalists and the media throughout the working day.  You'll need sound editorial judgement, a good contacts book and an eye for what makes a compelling story.

  • A strong interest in journalism and a desire to work in a busy newsroom environment
  • Imagination to secure press coverage

  • Sharp writing skills
  • A little black book of news media across all platforms
  • A strategic brain - able to look at the longterm picture and to know what success will look like from a macro and micro viewpoint
  • Good understanding of digital and social media landscapes

In addition you will be:

  • Hungry for success, both culturally and commercially
  • Self-sufficient and able to act autonomously when dealing with press enquiries
  • Able to work in a news environment - under pressure and to tight deadlines
  • Able to demonstrate relevant experience in a PR agency / and in house role, but PR agency is key

What we’ll offer you:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package
  • Generous perks 
  • Long-term career vision
  • Great offices in the centre of London, perfect for work and fun outside of work
