- Executing media outreach strategies to automotive, shipping, aviation, energy and environment trade publications as well as top mainstream national and regional media.
- Monitor the UK media, identifying key trends and opportunities for T&E.
- In coordination with the Brussels-based digital communications manager, develop and keepupdated relevant UK sections of the T&E website and create social media content based on our campaigns, key reports and infographics.
- Develop social media channel(s), including assets to use in our online advocacy and campaigns.
- Develop our stakeholder and opinion former outreach, including GDPR compliant approaches to contact management and mailings.
- Organize media briefings and events.
- Liaise and work closely with external agencies e.g. full-service Public Relations companies, digital and video agencies
- Contribute to in-house and donor reporting.

**Skills and competences required**:

- Strong experience in UK media outreach, preferably with a public relations background, as well as a good understanding of the UK media market and the requirements of different kinds of media i.e. print, newswire, TV, radio, and web.
- Well organized and able to deal with a wide variety of media inquiries.
- Strong and fast writing skills, with an ability to translate technical reports into media friendly communications materials.
- Strong social media experience in a professional context.
- Excellent time management, forward planning, and prioritization skills, with the ability to work under pressure and to deadlines.
- Experience working in communications, journalism, or a related field.

The position is full-time, based in London, with the possibility of flexible working hours. T&E will offer you a salary between £35.000-£43.000 per annum in line with your experience and expertise. The position offers the opportunity to grow professionally and build a rewarding career at T&E.

Equally importantly, if you join T&E you’ll have the opportunity to devote your professional energy and creativity to the resolution of one of humankind’s greatest challenges.
