About the role

It’s time for us to hire our first in-house PR & Communications Manager to continue steering the journey of our brand story. This is a hands-on, high-autonomy role where no two days are alike. You might be:

• Pitching to editors at The Times and Monocle.
• Curating bespoke showroom events or private fittings for high-profile clients.
• Welcoming a celebrity into our Manchester factory for a behind the scenes tour.
• Planning seasonal press outreach with stylists & journalists.
• Dreaming up angles from our heritage that cut through the noise.
• Working closely with our founders, in-house creative team, and external collaborators to ensure our story is told with consistency, style and purpose.

About you

This is an exciting new in-house role where we outline our ‘starting point’ and look forward to the successful hire making it their own! We’re looking for:

• Experience as a PR professional, with an interesting PR profile and story to tell – in-house, or agency side now ready to make a move in house.
• We’d love it if you bring a little black book bulging with relevant contacts, but equally if you haven’t, but have the tenacity to develop one, we can share ours!
• A strong writer who can also pitch, host and produce events with flair.
• Highly creative and innovative; an idea originator and generator.
• A storyteller; and outstanding written and verbal communicator.
• An outgoing relationship builder with good self-awareness, discretion and tact.
• A self-motivated team player and collaborator with a ‘can do’ attitude.
• Very organized and able to multi-task and be results-focused.
• Experienced in digital PR with a good understanding of social media channels.
• Naturally confident, with professional ease and a sense of humour!
• Energised by both heritage and innovation.
• Flexible to travel as required.
