This role and consultancy are something special and are looking for an equally unique person to join their outstanding team.
Definitely more in the communications consultancy than PR agency vibe, this small, independent company offer a range of niche yet somehow also diverse services to a mixture of clients. Yes they do some more "traditional" PR and social content work for some lovely consumer brands. However, even this work has insight and cultural relevance at the heart of it. More broadly they do a lot of work with organisations auditing and re defining their comms strategies so really understanding the values, objectives and commercial goals of an organisation. They also do a lot of inclusive communications for large, global companies, advising them on supporting and communicating to minority groups and more purposeful work in general.
What all their work has in common is it is meaningful, impactful and on point.
The inspirational founder is looking for their no2 to help them build and grow this unique business. Whilst you will be a fantastic all round communications expert there are a few, specific essentials needed for this role.
The role is 40% new business, so whilst we don't want a pure new biz person, you do need to love the hustle of spotting an opportunity and grasping it. This is not just someone who can pull together a nice deck (although that is always great), it is someone who has the mindset and aptitude to plan where they see commercial growth and build their network to make that happen. You will be able to demonstrate a track record of hunting down and securing new business.
In addition the business is looking to grow more across the health, wellbeing and health tech space. This is more in the b2c side or the b2b2c aspect as opposed to big pharma and ethical health. As a result you must have a passion for this sector, be on top of the next big thing or interesting apps that could become amazing clients, and generally want to build a business area around this.
If you have all this and are an Associate Director (or possibly very strong SAD stepping up) in a PR agency or communications consultancy environment an would love to be part of something genuinely different and exciting this could just be for you. Ideally you will have experience in, or exposure to working in a start up environment or start up clients.
The small team all have tonnes of responsibility and ownership and being small and independent means you will have a lot of influence on client work and the direction of the business as a whole. They are intelligent, curious and collaborative people and people who bring fresh experience, ideas and ways of working (as well as different personal interests) tend to thrive here.
There are some lovely benefits on offer (and they don't have a one size fits all approach) and they currently do three days in a lovely shared West London office space.
