You set budgets and have the ability to problem-solve, proactively supporting clients with a clear action plan, delivering results quickly. You will lead the development of PR services and processes that drive results for the PR team, assessing the landscape and developing how we need to evolve as an agency.

You directly oversee campaign and reactive execution, ensuring quality of work across the team, developing our ways of working to ensure we’re leading the industry. Your standards and attention to detail are high, and you focus on ensuring all Rise PR output is A-class.
