Step into this Digital Communications Specialist role and build something that matters in PR & Communications.
Startups live or die on how well they tell their own story, and that's precisely what this Digital Communications Specialist role is built around.
The company behind it is a young, fast-moving operator in PR & Communications, the kind of place where a press angle you spot on Monday can be live by Wednesday.
There's no committee to clear it through.
Just you, a flat structure, and a direct line to the people making decisions.
Here's what you'll be doing: Write and place press releases, pitches, and thought-leadership pieces that actually get picked up Manage day-to-day social media output across the company's channels, from drafting copy to scheduling and reporting on what worked Build and maintain relationships with journalists and industry contacts relevant to the business Monitor coverage and sentiment, flagging opportunities and risks before they become either Draft internal and external communications, including newsletters, briefing notes, and the odd crisis statement Support campaign launches with messaging that's consistent across every channel it touches Here are the skills you'll need: A couple of years' experience in PR & Communications, agency or in-house, doesn't matter which Sharp, clean writing.
You should be able to turn a dry update into something a journalist actually wants to read Comfort with social platforms and basic analytics, you don't need to be a data analyst, but you should know what a good engagement number looks like Organised enough to run several things at once without dropping one A thick enough skin to take feedback fast and turn it around faster.
Startups move quickly, and this Digital Communications Specialist role moves with them Genuine curiosity about media, trends, and what makes a story land Key perks and benefits: Salary of £29,000 to £43,000, depending on experience Fully remote working, with real flexibility over your hours Equity in the business, so you're building something you actually own a piece of A dedicated learning and development budget to keep sharpening your craft A flat structure where your ideas reach decision-makers directly, not through five layers of management Why pursue a career in PR & Communications?
PR & Communications has grown well beyond press releases and media lists.
It now sits at the centre of how companies build trust, manage reputation, and shape public conversation, and that makes it a genuinely good long-term bet for your career.

Good communicators are always in demand.
The ones who can write, think fast, and hold their nerve tend to rise quickly.
