Ready to leverage your PR expertise and business development skills to lead a game-changing UK media growth strategy at a cutting-edge tech platform? This brand-new, senior role offers you the chance to own and shape the future of media engagement—using AI and innovation to transform how stories connect with audiences.
About the Company
Join a fast-growing, tech-powered media networking platform that connects journalists, media professionals, small businesses, and subject-matter experts—enabling smarter, more respectful PR engagement. This platform is transforming the way media and PR connect, using advanced technology and AI to streamline interactions and make it easier for the right stories to reach the right audiences.
With over 500,000 users in the U.S., it has already proven itself as a market leader in its space—and now it’s time to replicate that success in the UK.
Why This Role Stands Out
-
Next level impact – Be the architect of the UK’s media growth strategy—your vision will define expansion across a market rich with storytellers.
-
Tech-forward PR – Use proprietary algorithms and AI tools to streamline media outreach and engagement.
-
High-growth environment – Join a company at an exciting tipping point, with the chance to make a significant mark in its UK market launch.
What You’ll Do
-
Create and lead a UK media acquisition engine—from prospect identification to onboarding and engagement.
-
Foster and deepen relationships with journalists, freelancers, editors, podcasters, and event leaders.
-
Conduct outreach via events, roundtables, social media, LinkedIn/Sales Navigator, email, and more.
-
Lead demos, support UK users, collaborate across international teams, and track key KPIs (demos, sign-ups, usage, source requests).
-
Create compelling pitch decks and collateral tailored to UK media needs.
Tools You’ll Have at Your Disposal
-
LinkedIn & Sales Navigator – for targeted prospecting and relationship building.
-
HubSpot – for tracking, nurturing, and managing outreach pipelines.
-
Proprietary AI technology & databases – to streamline sourcing and connections.
-
Dedicated global support team – including email marketers to help you scale engagement.
Who You Are
-
Looking to take your business development skills and understanding of the media—gained through your PR experience—and apply them to onboarding and engaging new media users at scale.
-
Strong track record in winning or converting leads and securing new business.
-
A seasoned PR professional with a good knowledge of the UK media, (e.g., Associate Director) with sharp BD and client servicing skills—or a growth-focused BD specialist with PR experience.
-
Entrepreneurial and self-managed—comfortable running with your ideas and solving problems creatively.
-
Strong communicator, well-organised, resilient, and able to autonomously turn strategy into results.
-
Passionate about media, technology, and AI—and how they intersect to reshape comms.
-
Extensive media/press contacts are highly desirable but not essential
Why You’ll Love It
-
A rare chance to own and elevate a market from scratch in a high-impact, fast-growing environment.
-
Join the senior management team and report directly to the CEO, giving you unparalleled visibility and influence in shaping UK strategy.
-
Opportunity for bonuses (short term) and a longer-term ownership in the business based on strong performance—be rewarded for the growth you help create.
-
Blend your PR expertise with cutting-edge comms tech and AI—no more getting stuck in outdated PR workflows.
-
Meet with senior leadership in London this 13th - 15th August for exploratory conversations about shaping the UK market launch.
