PR Executive

PR. Two little letters that, when brought together in harmony, can unlock a whole new stratosphere for company growth and credibility.

In the last two years our in-house PR team have managed 10 market launches, engaged a pan-european comms agency and been able to deliver a fully rounded PR strategy that has in turn resulted in doubling our coverage numbers

As a company we've got all the pieces in place…

1. A great vision and brand purpose that drives us: to make everyone feel valued at work.
2. A consistently best-in-class rated spending solution in Europe, helping companies unlock autonomy, trust and better work.
3. Charismatic founders, C-levels, board members and team altogether, ready for comment, profile or the occasional byline.
4. Some pretty big ambitions and growth targets.

One of the biggest growth efforts we’re shooting for this year is solidifying our brand across our European markets with a focus on Spain, France, The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Germany and UK. It takes a team effort to make this all successful, and we’re looking for someone who can slot into an incredibly busy proactive press office and keep the plates spinning!

This person will play a hands-on role, assisting the PR Lead in driving key comms and PR projects across our key markets, supporting the management of key external agencies and the day-to-day press activity. The person who steps into this role will need to be confident, forward thinking and be able to work autonomously, adapting quickly to new environments and juggle multiple projects simultaneously. You’ll be part of a two person team, reporting directly to the Global PR Lead!

We’re looking for a proactive and detail-oriented PR Executive to support our PR activities in these regions and assist with the UK market. This role will involve tactical execution and coordination.

With career progression in mind, this role will have a clear growth plan to develop. You’ll be encouraged to learn, given opportunities to expand your knowledge and experience first-hand, and see the inner workings of a successful fintech scale-up.
