Assistant PR Manager, 12 month Secondment, FTC in London

This is a great opportunity to work in an award-winning, diverse press office with an inclusive team culture where people are recognised for their contribution. This role is for someone who enjoys working on PR strategies and campaigns for a range of fast-moving areas, developing new and existing journalist relationships and building recognition of Deloitte partners as expert commentators on various business issues.

We are looking for an aspiring public relations (PR) professional to join Deloitte’s busy press office and have a key role in promoting and protecting the firm’s reputation. It’s a chance to work on areas such as the firm’s talent and people agenda, tax or audit.

You will be a creative thinker with excellent attention to detail and equally able to work as part of a team and autonomously. You’ll have an understanding of the business landscape for Deloitte and the wider economy and a grasp of the role PR can play in supporting business objectives.

Reporting to a PR Manager, you’ll be responsible for developing and implementing media relations campaigns for your areas of responsibility. You’ll do this in close collaboration with the firm’s industry and business leaders, as well as colleagues across marketing, social media, research and public affairs.

You’ll have a keen eye for what makes a good story, excellent writing standards, good attention to detail and the ability to adapt your style to suit different audiences and formats. You also need to be able to manage and deliver multiple projects to tight deadlines and influence senior leaders and stakeholders within the business.

You have experience of journalism or public relations, gained either in-house or within an agency. You have experience of developing and implementing strategic media relations plans. You have excellent writing skills and attention to detail, which will be tested during the interview process. You have strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to build solid relationships and gain credibility with stakeholders at multiple levels. You have the confidence to stand firm and say no when needed, while remaining diplomatic and consensus-driven. You are highly organized, able to successfully manage multiple stakeholders and projects under time pressure.

Collaboration is central to everything we do at Deloitte. From IT to HR, marketing and more, our teams help to support the wider business in everything they do. Bringing your individual skills and specialist knowledge, you can make a far-reaching impact.

At Deloitte, we understand the importance of balancing your career alongside your home life. That’s why we’ll support you to work flexibly through our hybrid working policy. Depending on the requirements of your role, you’ll have the opportunity to work in your local office, virtual collaboration spaces, client sites and remotely. You’ll get the chance to meet face to face when needed, while you collaborate and learn from colleagues, share your experiences, and build the relationships that will fuel your career and prioritise your wellbeing.

Making an impact is more than just what we do: it’s why we’re here. So we work hard to create an environment where you can experience a purpose you believe in, the freedom to be you, and the capacity to go further than ever before. We want you. The true you. Your own strengths, perspective and personality. So we’re nurturing a culture where everyone belongs, feels supported and heard, and is empowered to make a valuable, personal contribution. You can be sure we’ll take your wellbeing seriously, too.

A career at Deloitte is an opportunity to develop in any direction you choose. Join us and you’ll experience a purpose you can believe in and an impact you can see. You’ll be free to bring your true self to work every day. And you’ll never stop growing, whatever your level.
