Make your mark as a Communications & Engagement Manager in the PR & Communications sector, based in Edinburgh.
PR and communications teams are under more pressure than ever to prove their worth, not just with column inches but with measurable engagement, trust and reputation gains. This particular business is a fast-growing startup building its name in the PR & Communications space, and it needs someone who can shape how it talks to the world while it’s still small enough to move fast. As Communications & Engagement Manager, you’d be joining at a point where your decisions actually stick.
Here’s what you’ll be doing:
- Building and running communications campaigns that connect with target audiences across press, social and internal channels
- Writing and editing press releases, briefing documents and thought leadership content that sound like a person wrote them
- Managing relationships with journalists, media contacts and industry partners across the UK
- Tracking engagement metrics and adjusting activity based on what the data actually shows
- Coordinating internal communications so the whole company hears news at the same time, not in fragments
- Supporting leadership with messaging for launches, funding announcements and other milestone moments
Here are the skills you’ll need:
- A few years’ experience in PR, communications or a closely related field
- Sharp writing skills. You should be able to switch tone between a press release and an internal Slack update without thinking twice
- Confidence pitching to media and building relationships that last beyond one story
- Comfort with ambiguity. Startups change direction, and this role needs someone who can adjust without losing momentum
- Basic grasp of analytics tools to measure what’s actually landing
- The ability to work independently while still being a genuine team player in a flat structure
Key perks and benefits:
- £39,500 to £50,000, depending on experience
- Equity in the business, because your work should build something you actually own a piece of
- Hybrid working from Edinburgh, with flexible hours built around output rather than clock-watching
- A genuine learning and development budget you’re encouraged to use
- Remote-friendly culture for the days you’re not in the office
