By focusing on the core needs of efficiency, productivity, growth, and impact, our employees use their expertise to deliver real solutions through our People and Finance platform.

This system, which covers finance, HR, payroll, and learning, helps businesses run more smoothly and make better decisions in real time. With over 40 years of experience behind us, MHR’s track record as a high-performance organisation is built on clear goals, a shared vision, and strong communication—all of which we pass on to our customers. MHR is more than just a place to work; it’s a platform for empowerment.

Joining us means bringing innovation, technology, and teamwork seamlessly removes obstacles, enhances your skills, and allows you to focus on what’s most important to you- work that matters. With us, you’ll grow, find your flow, and make a lasting difference in your career, your team, and your impact.

This is a fantastic opportunity to take the next step in your PR career by joining a forward-thinking and ambitious organisation. You'll be at the forefront of shaping and protecting the reputation of MHR and its associated portfolios across key markets and geographies. With your excellent written and communication skills, you’ll deliver an integrated PR programme that enhances our external voice and internal alignment.

You'll gain valuable experience in managing agency relationships, developing award-winning content, and leading crisis communications - all while working within a dynamic, collaborative marketing team. You'll also develop and execute compelling customer stories, announcements, and testimonials that support business growth.

You’ll be a key part of our marketing function, working collaboratively with campaign teams, brand managers, and digital specialists to ensure PR and marketing efforts are aligned and consistent. You will also partner closely with stakeholders across the business, including leadership teams, to amplify our thought leadership, promote internal and external successes, and build media confidence.

You’ll manage and get the best from our external PR agency and help ensure media-facing individuals are confident and prepared, including organising media training where appropriate.

Your work will directly contribute to increasing MHR’s visibility, credibility, and commercial success. From delivering targeted PR strategies and securing impactful media coverage to co-ordinating award entries and supporting strategic campaigns, you’ll position MHR as a leader in its field. You’ll measure performance against KPIs and continuously look for ways to maximise ROI and influence through digital and social channels.

Your efforts will play a vital role in shaping public perception, supporting new business growth, and maintaining consistency in how the MHR brand is presented and experienced.
