United Kingdom Group Whistle Limited Full time

Head of PR - Maternity Cover 12-month FTC Starts June 2024
GroupWhistle is seeking a highly capable and confident PR practitioner to take up a senior leadership role as maternity cover for the company’s Head of PR.
As an agency focused on delivering value to automotive technology companies and technology businesses in Formula 1, this role is for a talented, capable individual with industry experience in either the automotive industry or motorsport.
Our clients are endlessly fascinating, helping to electrify the auto industry, power it with hydrogen tech or harness AI to power new, exponential ways of doing things. We are looking for an experienced PR at AM or AD level that is looking for a transition into a senior position – the job is not just about delivering great PR for clients, it’s a wider management brief that involves growing a team and helping the agency to prosper commercially as one of the leadership team.
Equally, you will have some unhealthy obsession with some part of the media landscape – rolling news junkies, staunch defenders of the BBC charter or social media obsessives are welcome in equal measure. While this is a senior role, we’d estimate 70% of your time will be spent on active client accounts, with 30% of your time spent on the remaining tasks noted below. You’ll be responsible for new client onboarding and guiding businesses that may not have previous experience of PR on making best use of our services. And then there will be the hands-on elements, writing press releases, pitching media, managing campaigns etc, but we also need you to keep an eye on client servicing and resourcing levels, contract renewals and overall client relationship management.
GroupWhistle has an enlightened approach to the management of its talent pool and we’d expect you to take an active lead in developing the PR team – it is the core of our business and bringing on new talent is a key priortiy for the company
PR and strategic comms are at the vanguard of technology change. We’d be delighted if you took an active part in managing and configuring our suite of remote working tools, from our project & task management tools that form the centre point of our daily stand-up calls to developing our in-house abilities to report to clients through online dashboards or edit videos without recourse to slow and expensive production agencies.
~12-month fixed term contract with potential to extend
~ Company pension scheme
~25 days of holiday a year
~ Flexible hours and hybrid working arrangement
~ Cycle and Tech work scheme
~ Essential: 2 days per week based from our office in Newbury (parking provided)

GroupWhistle is a specialist communications agency for businesses in automotive technology and motorsport. Our business is staffed by PRs, journalists and digital media practitioners, but we also have a full design studio in-house to create collateral and assets to support our storytelling for clients.
