As part of our in-house communications team within the wider Brand and Marketing function, we’re on a mission to tell powerful stories that connect with our customers and build brand love. AO.com is at the heart of our retail business, and we’re looking for a talented Consumer PR Executive to help us shout about it.
You’ll play a key role in activating and delivering our retail PR plans for AO.com. Reporting directly to Jess, our Consumer PR Manager, you’ll be responsible for securing strong, positive media coverage and collaborating closely with our social and ecommerce teams to drive cross-channel campaigns.
We’ve got some exciting projects on the horizon, so if you’ve got a nose for a great story and a passion for creating buzz, we’d love to hear from you.
We want your ideas to flow, and what better way to make that happen than being based onsite, 5 days a week, where our culture fuels creativity, collaboration and growth. If a £1 bet in the pub between two friends can become the UKs most trusted electrical retailer, imagine what else can be achieved when we we’re together!
