Who you are

‍

- With around three years of PR experience, you’re media-obsessed. You know who’s who across the health and tech media landscape, and you leverage existing relationships to land incredible coverage

- You’ll have experience of pitching in different markets - The UK + Europe is our core market but if you have experience of landing high impact coverage in the US or other markets we’ll be extra impressed.

- Your background in healthcare or science means you aren’t phased by jargon or technical language - in fact, translating the complex into the compelling is your bread and butter

- You enjoy writing compelling, original shortform and longform copy - and can turn around work quickly with flawless grammar

- Working in, and with, fast-paced startups and purpose-led companies gives you a buzz

- You’re ready to learn - our work is varied and there is always something new to get to grips with

- Problem-solving is second nature - we have a ‘yes, if’ culture, so we think outside the box to solve problems and identify new approaches

- Collaboration is your forte, and you enjoy working as part of a team and supporting others to upskill and develop

- You can adapt quickly to changing priorities and foresee potential challenges, effectively communicating and planning ahead with your team.
