A rare opportunity to work part-time (2 days a week initially) and remotely for a young, growing and ambitious PR business.  We are looking for a motivated, self-starter who is a truly talented PR with strong all-round skills able to lead and push forward client accounts. You must think and perform like a journalist when it comes to promoting our clients – whether that be in your ability to craft a moreish story angle, in your persuasive and accurate writing skills or in your ability to place and land press coverage in the best titles. Our agency has a no-nonsense approach to PR, with an unwavering focus on achieving an excellent level and quality of media exposure for our clients. We are most interested in how you will get our clients in the papers and we are looking for someone with gravitas. We have high standards and we are looking for someone who has the same.

The ability to turn your hand to a diverse range of clients across both consumer and corporate sectors would be a definite plus. Our clients span across travel, luxury goods, professional services and consumer beauty. For our clients we currently achieve exposure in leading nationals and glossy magazines as well as in business titles such as Forbes, Management Today and the FT. The role will also include fast-turnaround comment/ spokesperson pitching on the back of breaking news. You will need to get a buzz from this newsroom-style approach and enjoy speaking to the likes of the BBC and SKY, often at the last minute.

The role is rare in that it is permanent and part-time (2 days a week initially.) You can also work from home. Ideally looking for someone who can work Tuesday and Wednesday. You must have experience leading and managing client accounts and have at least 7 years prior experience working in the PR industry – ideally within fast-paced London agencies.
