Pr / communications manager

Join a fast-growing and exciting retail start-up as their PR and Communications Lead, helping shape how the brand shows up across press and partnerships.

This is a founder-led, category-disrupting interiors brand who are doing things differently and have a very distinctive brand voice - with an opinion! You'll need to have lots of energy and get up and go to help get this brand firmly on the map.

This isn’t a traditional PR role. It sits across press, partnerships, influencer, events and ultimately ideas, with a focus on getting the brand talked about in the right places, in the right way.

You’ll be responsible for creating smart editorial angles, driving meaningful coverage and developing high-impact partnerships.

This is an early-stage, high-growth environment which is fast-moving, collaborative and idea-led. Would suit someone entrepreneurial who wants to roll their sleeves up and gets involved and shape the direction of the business.

What you’ll be doing:

• Owning all external communications across press, partnerships and brand storytelling
• Securing high-quality coverage in national and broadsheet titles
• Developing strong editorial angles that challenge category norms and drive conversation
• Identifying and delivering a small number of standout partnerships that genuinely cut through
• Reacting to cultural moments and turning them into relevant PR opportunities
• Working closely with founders on messaging, narrative and thought leadership
• Supporting and evolving influencer partnerships, with scope to take full ownership over time
• Developing ideas for activations, events and campaigns that translate into press

The team is a small, fun, hands-on team of around 6 people with in-house creative capability including content and video.

Who this suits:

• Background in PR, editorial or ideas-led agency environments
• Strong media instincts and relevant press contacts - ideally in interiors or retail
• Naturally creative, able to generate ideas and angles
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, less structured environment

Flexible working from a West London office, ideally 4 days a week.
