PR Executive

I'm currently recruiting for an established and growing financial services organisation  that is looking to strengthen its marketing and communications team with a talented PR & Social Media Executive.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a couple of years' experience in PR, communications or social media who wants a varied role covering PR, media relations, content, social and wider brand activity.

You'll work closely with the marketing team and senior stakeholders to build brand awareness, generate media coverage and create engaging content across a range of channels.

Responsibilities

Identify and develop PR opportunities to generate quality media coverage
Write press releases, features, articles, blogs and thought leadership content
Create and manage engaging content across social media channels
Support the development and delivery of PR and social media campaigns
Build relationships with journalists, media contacts and relevant external partners
Monitor media coverage, social engagement and campaign performance
Support senior stakeholders with media opportunities, interviews and external communications
Work with the wider marketing team on campaigns, launches and brand initiatives
Identify reactive PR opportunities and coordinate timely responses
Manage community engagement and respond to social media enquiries
Support events, partnerships and other brand activity

What we are looking for?

2+ years' experience within PR, communications, journalism, social media or a similar environment
Experience planning and delivering PR campaigns
Strong media relations skills and an ability to build relationships with journalists
Experience managing social media channels and campaigns
Excellent copywriting, editing and storytelling skills
Strong organisation and project management skills
Comfortable managing multiple priorities and working to deadlines
Creative, proactive and commercially minded
Experience using social media management and scheduling platforms
Financial services or regulated-sector experience would be advantageous, but isn't essential

A varied role where you'll have the opportunity to work across PR, social, content and wider communications, rather than being restricted to one area.

You'll have plenty of exposure to senior stakeholders, the opportunity to get involved in high-profile campaigns and the chance to make a real impact on the brand's external presence.

If you're a PR and social media professional looking for your next move, I'd be keen to hear from you.
