Job Description

Are you an SAE, AE ready to be promoted or a press officer in-house? If you love PR, and want to look back every few months and feel really proud of what you’ve achieved, then have a read and send us an application!

The right person will be the one everybody else turns to when they need to get coverage. They will love meeting journalists and will be thrilled by the publicity side of things. They will have a three musketeers approach and be great at getting the best out of juniors in their team while not afraid to pitch in and get things done when they need support. 

The agency is fast paced, supportive of its staff, progressive with diversity and has incredibly high standards for its work. So the right candidate will also tend to be the person who stays calm under pressure, has excellent attention to detail and organises everyone around them. Up and down!

They also really fairly reward great work and busy periods. They pay well and have great benefits. They also have a great social culture and there are lots of opportunities to let your hair down.

In terms of your day-today, you will be expected to:

  • Regularly liaise with your client via email
  • Starting to take a lead in client meetings
  • Overseeing junior members of the team and distributing the day-to-day work on the press office, e.g. coverage and status reports, media lists and calendars
  • Making sure account admin is done to a high standard and deadlines are met
  • Leading AEs and AAEs and supporting on media liaison and pitching including talking to journalists for product reviews, media drops, interviews, campaign launches and features
  • Drafting and writing press releases, pitches and plans
  • Supporting new business decks and client plans – via  brainstorms and contributing to slides
  • Constantly expanding your own network of media and influencers

So if you’re looking for somewhere that you can go long term, develop and progress your career. If you look at the awards nights and wish you were there, this could be the role for you.

We will try to get back to as many people as possible, but if you don’t hear from us within one week from sending your application, you unfortunately haven’t been successful this time.

Darain Faraz

Darain’s aversion to confined spaces took root during a fateful screening of ‘Buried,’ a film that immerses its audience in the gripping horror of a man awakening to find himself entombed alive. This intense fear of tight space has left an indelible mark on him. Beyond his mild-claustrophobic tendencies, Darain is also Co-founder of People Like Us, and former Director of Marketing at jobs behemoth LinkedIn internationally. Before his decade+ at LinkedIn, he resided in Australia where he ran comms for WWF’s Earth Hour, and MySpace (remember them?). He’s a regular on Marketing Week + PR Week top 100, has won a raft of industry recognition including the coveted Cannes Lions. But he’s more than his titles and his accolades, he’s a die-hard Kylie Minogue fan too. He has three lively kids and lives in Fiji (yup, you read that right). He also likes to take his shirt off at regular intervals (check out his ‘gram… or better still – don’t).

Mike Levaggi

What could be scarier than being stuck in a toilet cubicle with a wasp nest? Not much for our founder Mike (maybe having his face on a website) but definitely not making our industry fairer. He’s a northerner with Irish and Italian roots. In his 15 years in PR, he’s been a Senior Director of Assembly, head of consumer comms at Snap and a tech & gaming lead at Hope&Glory PR, winning over 50 industry awards. He’s also a former recruiter, the founder of the One Percent diversity initiative and co-founder of the PR Week Pay Gap Project. He’s been called a lot of things, but he’d call himself a problem solver. 

Sheeraz Gulsher

Sheeraz has both a fear and deep fascination of life after death. To face it, he’s taking solace by learning about the origin of world religions and reading the (not so) comforting words of many philosophers. Bit deep, but he’ll be fine, we promise.

Beyond his flirting with existential crises, Sheeraz is co-founder of People Like Us, the award winning non-profit that celebrates and supports professionals from underrepresented backgrounds in journalism, PR and the creative industries. Sheeraz is also an award winning PR professional with over a decade of experience both in-house at Snapchat and Sky, and at agencies including Hope&Glory and PrettyGreen. Sheeraz is a passionate campaigner for equal pay for ethnically diverse working professionals in the UK. He will often mention the one time someone said his celebrity lookalike is Riz Ahmed but in actual fact, he looks more like Bruno Fernandes (minus the sass). Top geezer all round.
