The role

We’re looking for an experienced PR professional to join our team for a one year FTC, with a solid background in corporate communications and reputation management. You’ll have extensive experience building strategic proactive and reactive PR programmes that align with a company’s business goals and brand direction. Perhaps you’ve been working in an agency and want the opportunity to bring your skills in-house, or you may already be in-house and are looking for a new challenge. The Head of Corporate Communications will join our PR team, sitting within the marketing team.

What you’ll be doing

• Work with a number of different teams across Rightmove including senior leadership, brand and social teams.
• As a highly organised person you’ll be able to create and execute corporate PR strategies to land our key messages.
• You’ll be responsible for building and managing external relationships with contacts across property in trade, business and consumer titles and building relationships with key government officials.
• On a daily basis you’ll be keeping the business up to date with the latest news in the property and tech landscape.

What you’ll bring to the role

• Strong writing and communication skills and immaculate attention to detail.
• The ability to juggle a number of tasks each day including a busy press office.
• Experience developing B2B stories, either in the property industry or the ability to adapt your skills from another industry.
• You’ll be a dab hand at making simple stories out of complex datasets – if the story doesn’t write itself we move on to one that does, as we know we only have about 10 seconds to get a journalist’s attention.
• You may not have any experience working in property PR or you may have worked in property PR for your whole career so far, it doesn’t matter to us as long as you can bring transferable skills.
