Your Mo-Mission (should you choose to accept it):

This is a senior communications leadership role for someone who eats the news agenda for breakfast and knows exactly how to make men's health impossible to ignore.

As Head of PR & Communications – UK & Europe, you'll cover a 14-month period of parental leave in a critical leadership position – stepping in with confidence and hitting the ground running. You'll own [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal]'s external narrative across the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe, leading a year-round earned media and communications programme and driving [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal]'s reputation as the definitive voice on men's health, mental health, and modern masculinity. You'll also counsel senior leaders on reputation, risk, and opportunity when it matters most.

• Managing spokespeople, influencer, and ambassador relationships, including media training for internal experts and senior leaders
• Ensuring always-on communications presence outside of major campaign periods
• Identifying and securing awards and speaking opportunities for [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] and its leaders

No Moustache Required - but the following are:

• 10+ years in PR and communications for high-profile, cutting-edge brands or organisations
• A genuine passion for the news cycle, a sharp news instinct, and the ability to move fast when it matters
• Proven track record of top-tier media coverage across national, broadcast, and digital channels
• Experience managing PR agencies across multiple simultaneous campaigns
• Comfortable operating at senior leadership level – you're as credible in the boardroom as you are in a journalist briefing
• Experience working with celebrity talent, influencers, and high-profile spokespeople
• Superior writing skills – from a punchy press release to a complex policy messaging framework
• Experience in social media and owned channel strategy, with strong tech literacy

Not Mission Critical - but for extra bonus points:

• Experience in the charity or health sector is a bonus, but your passion for the mission matters more
