The role:

Adzuna’s success to date has been down to the skills, hard work and determination of the brilliant and diverse group of people we have hired across the globe. Right now, we're seeking an experienced PR & Content Executive to help take our global brand to the next level. You may currently be working as a Senior Account Executive within a PR, social or content agency, you may be an Account Executive looking for your next challenge, or you may be within a marketing or content role in house. This is an incredible opportunity to develop your skills on global communication campaigns, with a focus on the US and UK markets, working alongside our world class marketing team to build our global brand through PR, Content & Social Media.

Reporting into and working closely with our Senior PR & Content Manager, you’ll take the lead on our busy in-house press office, responding to media inquiries, forging relationships with journalists, creating and selling-in media stories, and managing our freelancers. You will support us with managing our US PR agency and guiding responses to US media requests, and will be a natural when it comes to making sense of big data, writing and editing copy and executing high impact PR campaigns. You’ll be integral to content creation, PR & brand activity in our key markets. These are fundamental to the continued growth of our global business and we’re looking for an individual to build on the success we’ve already had.

This is an integrated communications and content role with an emphasis on PR, content creation, and social media for both B2C and B2B channels. The right candidate will be able to progress quickly within a low-hierarchy, fast-growing company. The Marketing team will benefit from your experience to date but even more important is the passion you bring to work every day. You will strive for excellence, try new things, inspire and engage those around you and feel ownership of overall company success as well as pride in doing your bit.

We’re growing rapidly in the US in particular on the back of cutting-edge programmatic technology, expanding our labour market data offerings and growing year on year (and hiring!) despite COVID-19.

Like everyone here, you will act like an owner, be a team player and make a difference. It’s an opportunity to work with a smart team led by experienced management and dedicated and passionate founders. You have the chance to own your and the company’s growth in terms of:

• Scaling our PR and content activity in the UK and US
• Developing our social media platforms, building engagement and followings
• Initiating creative ideas to support our brand strategy
