Job Details

The Company

An innovative network/platform that connects professionals in the world of media, finance and communications with the aim of helping business and finance journalists get access to the most up to date news.  

Born in New York and incredibly successful there, the company has now launched in London and we are looking for someone with an understanding of finance who loves the thrill of media relations and would thrive on working for a tech start up.

The Role – Communications Executive/Community Manager

This is quite a unique role that’s different from your usual communications role so please read carefully before applying.  It would best suit someone who is craving a change from traditional communications into more of a relationship focused/building role and who enjoys building relationships.

The company already has a communications agency, so your role wouldn’t be to promote the platform externally, but rather act as the internal point of contact. The main aim of the role is to help the company grow its media network of reporters, producers and bookers from the financial industry. Key elements will involve responding to daily inbound requests and sign ups over the phone, creating new relationships inside of newsrooms across the industry to encourage new sign ups and building/cementing on the existing relationships the company has.

So, if a good typical day for you involves networking, talking on the phone and “hustling” for new customers, please apply!

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Outreach to potential new customers/clients [journalists, newsrooms etc] to boost the number of first time users –by phone and email
  • Dealing with incoming enquiries and calls
  • Management of relationships with reporters, checking in with them to see if they are having any issues with using the site
  • Checking in with reporters to see if they are working on any articles/projects that can be promoted on the website

About You:

  • Passionate about joining a tech start up
  • Knowledge and interest in financial services is a must
  • PR/communications experience is ideal but not essential – you could be from a different background in a more customer service/sales role
  • Loves building new relationships
