We’re looking for someone with experience in consumer PR – someone who’s a confident communicator, a natural storyteller, and has a genuine love for the media, from tabloids to TikTok. You’ll be a sharp writer with an eye for engaging copy, a creative thinker bursting with ideas, and someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment. Being organised, proactive and calm under pressure is key, as is a real passion for lifestyle brands, consumer behaviour and trends. Most importantly, you’ll bring a positive, can-do attitude and be a true team player who’s ready to get stuck in.
