Perfect role for a mid professional looking to grow their PR & Communications career in Bristol.
PR teams inside fast-growing startups work differently to agencies.
There's no account hierarchy to climb through, no six-week sign-off chain.
A Bristol-based tech startup is hiring a Digital Communications Specialist to own how the brand sounds online, and the person who takes it will shape that voice almost from day one.
In PR & Communications, that kind of trust is rare this early in a career.
Here's what you'll be doing: Write and schedule content across the company's social channels, adapting tone for LinkedIn, X and whatever platform the audience moves to next Draft press releases, founder statements and media pitches, then follow up with journalists directly Monitor press coverage and social mentions, flagging anything that needs a fast response Build and maintain relationships with trade press, bloggers and industry commentators relevant to the sector Report on campaign performance using analytics tools, and adjust messaging based on what's actually landing Support internal communications, helping translate company updates into something staff actually want to read Here are the skills you'll need: At least two years' experience in a PR, communications or digital marketing role Strong writing skills.
You need to switch between a punchy social post and a formal press statement without losing your voice Comfort with social media scheduling and analytics tools (Hootsuite, Sprout Social, or similar) A genuine interest in media relations and how stories get picked up Good judgement under pressure.
Comms moves fast, and sometimes you won't have a manager nearby to ask Organised enough to juggle several campaigns without dropping any of them Key perks and benefits: £27,500 to £42,500, depending on experience Fully remote working, with flexible hours built around your output rather than your hours logged Equity in the business, so the upside is shared A learning and development budget to put towards courses, conferences or qualifications A flat structure where your ideas reach decision-makers directly, no layers in between Why pursue a career in PR & Communications?
Demand for people who can write clearly and manage a brand's reputation keeps climbing, especially as startups realise a good comms hire can do the work three separate agencies used to bill for.
Bristol has built a genuine reputation as a hub for tech and media talent outside London, and that makes it a smart base for anyone serious about this field.
Progression tends to be quick too: good comms people get noticed fast, because the results are visible to everyone.
