The role
We’re looking for an experienced PR professional to join our team for a one year FTC, with a solid background in corporate communications and reputation management.
You’ll have extensive experience building strategic proactive and reactive PR programmes that align with a company’s business goals and brand direction.
Perhaps you’ve been working in an agency and want the opportunity to bring your skills in-house, or you may already be in-house and are looking for a new challenge.
The Head of Corporate Communications will join our PR team, sitting within the marketing team.

Strong writing and communication skills and immaculate attention to detail
The ability to juggle a number of tasks each day including a busy press office
Experience developing B2B stories, either in the property industry or the ability to adapt your skills from another industry
You’ll be a dab hand at making simple stories out of complex datasets – if the story doesn’t write itself we move on to one that does, as we know we only have about 10 seconds to get a journalist’s attention
You may not have any experience working in property PR or you may have worked in property PR for your whole career so far, it doesn’t matter to us as long as you can bring transferable skills
