PR Manager – innovative FTSE 250 professional services business

My client, an innovative FTSE 250 professional services company, is looking to add a talented PR Manager to its corporate affairs team.

The company’s offering spans a remarkable breadth of sector activity, including building safer communities, industry leading investment in people and skills, decarbonisation & net zero, technology and AI, and plenty more. As such it’s a brilliant opportunity to help promote the company’s growth and protect its corporate reputation, against the backdrop of a fast-moving news agenda and political landscape that offers the company challenges and opportunities alike.

That said, for this role the team is looking for some relatively specialist experience, given part of your remit will be to manage media activity around a major new initiative in the justice sector. It’s a project that simultaneously opens the door to fascinating storytelling opportunities on a human interest and sustainability level, whilst requiring reactive press handling on some hard-hitting, sensitive issues.

Consequently, the team would love to meet people who have previous experience of supporting on crisis and issues activity, with specific experience in the justice sector being preferable. People who possess a natural resilience, and associated comms experience, that is well suited to handling tricky issues.

Beyond this the attribute this team always looks for in new hires is a positive attitude. This is genuinely a business that rewards proactivity, and one where you can make a difference beyond the confines of comms.
