This role is for one or our top clients in the entertainment technology space.
Role: PR Manager
Duration: 12 Months (possible perm role after)
Ideal Location: London, UK but the role is very remote with occasional office visits
Critical vacancy this role fills:
* EMEA currently lacks a single on-the-ground PR owner, resulting in fragmented agency execution, inconsistent prioritization, and limited real-time decision-making.
* The 9+ hour time-zone gap creates material operational risk; without local ownership, real-time PR decisions, issue response, agency management, and KPI oversight are delayed, impacting speed and accountability.
* Without a centralized EMEA lead, the brand has limited visibility into PR performance ad ROI across European markets, with reporting and KPIs varying significantly by agency and country.
* This role enables the successful rollout and adoption of global PR KPIs in EMEA, establishing clear accountability for results rather than diffuse, agency-led reporting.
* Provides leadership with reliable, comparable performance data across markets, supporting smarter prioritization, risk management, and future investment decisions.
* Designed as a near-term stabilization role with flexibility to convert to permanent once performance, structure, and value are proven.
Role scope and responsibilities:
* Serve as the day-to-day PR owner for EMEA, acting as the connective tissue between global strategy and regional execution.
* Oversee and coordinate all EMEA PR agencies by country, ensuring consistent messaging, timelines, standards, and quality of output.
* Make real-time prioritization decisions across launches, narrative development, issues management, and reactive opportunities.
* Drive execution against global frameworks while preserving regional nuance and momentum.
* Act as the primary EMEA point of contact for Global PR, ensuring tight alignment on strategy, messaging, planning, and reporting.
* Provide ongoing visibility into performance, risks, and opportunities across the region to support global planning and KPI tracking.
* Act as the real-time PR decision-maker during EMEA business hours, ensuring issues, opportunities, and agency activity are addressed without delay.
