News Editor - #2092365

Head of News | PR & Earned Media

I’m working on a fantastic opportunity for an experienced PR leader to head up a busy newsroom function and drive earned media success for a portfolio of well-known brands.

This is a senior role for someone who thrives on the news agenda, has exceptional media contacts and knows exactly how to turn insight, trends and cultural moments into coverage that moves the needle.

You'll be responsible for leading the news strategy across multiple clients, identifying reactive opportunities, creating compelling stories and ensuring campaigns land across national, regional, broadcast, digital and specialist media. You'll also act as a senior advisor to clients on reputation, visibility and media engagement.

In a nutshell

• Has a proven track record of securing top-tier earned media coverage
• Brings a strong network of journalist relationships across national, online and broadcast media
• Understands the modern media landscape and how newsrooms operate
• Can spot trends, cultural moments and news hooks before they become obvious
• Has experience managing and developing high-performing PR teams
• Enjoys working closely with clients and contributing to new business growth
• Is commercially aware and comfortable demonstrating the value of PR activity

Alongside leading a talented team, you'll help shape editorial thinking across the business, champion creativity in storytelling and play a key role in ensuring clients are part of the conversations that matter.

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior PR professional who loves news, enjoys leading from the front and wants to make a genuine impact.
