Perfect role for a mid professional looking to grow their PR & Communications career in Bristol.
Corporate reputations are built and lost faster than ever, and the businesses that get this right treat communications as a core function, not an afterthought. This is an established, growing SME in the PR & Communications sector, and the Head of Corporate Communications sits right at the centre of how the business is perceived by clients, staff and the wider market. It’s a role with real influence, in a Bristol business that’s scaling with intent rather than chasing growth for its own sake.
What you’ll be doing:
- Lead the development and delivery of corporate communications strategy across internal and external audiences
- Write and edit press releases, briefing documents, executive statements and internal announcements
- Build and maintain relationships with journalists, media contacts and industry commentators
- Manage reputational risk, including drafting holding statements and advising leadership during sensitive situations
- Oversee the corporate tone of voice across the company’s channels, from LinkedIn to internal newsletters
- Report on communications performance and adjust plans based on what’s actually landing
Here are the skills you’ll need:
- Solid experience in a PR, communications or media relations role, ideally with some line management exposure
- Excellent written English. You’ll need to switch between a formal press statement and a casual internal update in the same afternoon
- Confidence advising senior stakeholders, including pushing back when a proposed message won’t land well
- A working understanding of media law, particularly around defamation and confidentiality
- Calm under pressure. Corporate communications rarely waits for a convenient moment
- Genuine curiosity about the news agenda and how it intersects with the business you’re representing
Key perks and benefits:
- Salary of £39,000 to £51,000, depending on experience
- Private medical insurance and pension contribution
- Hybrid working, with the flexibility to balance office collaboration and home focus
- Generous annual leave plus flexible working arrangements
- Structured progression within a growing company that still has defined, sensible processes
Why pursue a career in PR & Communications?
PR & Communications has grown well beyond press releases and media lists. Businesses now need people who can shape a narrative across a dozen channels at once, and that demand keeps rising. Bristol has become a genuine hub for this kind of work, with a mix of agencies, tech firms and established SMEs all competing for communications talent. Get a few years into a Head of Corporate Communications role and the next step, whether that’s Director of Communications or a move client-side into a bigger organisation, tends to follow naturally.
