Summary

Step into this Senior Media Relations Executive role and build something that matters in PR & Communications.

Media coverage doesn't happen by accident. It's chased, pitched, and shaped by people who understand journalists as well as they understand the brands they represent. This growing PR & Communications consultancy in Nottingham has built a solid reputation working with clients who need more than a press release and a prayer, and it's now looking for a Senior Media Relations Executive to help drive that work forward. The team is established but still expanding, which means you'd join at a point where your input actually shapes how things get done.

Here's what you'll be doing:

Building and maintaining relationships with journalists, editors, and broadcast contacts across relevant sectors

Drafting press releases, media pitches, and briefing documents that land coverage, not just inboxes

Managing reactive and proactive media enquiries on behalf of client accounts

Monitoring news agendas daily and spotting opportunities for client commentary or story angles

Supporting campaign planning and reporting back on coverage results with clear, honest analysis

Briefing junior team members and reviewing their media outreach before it goes out

Here are the skills you'll need:

Solid experience in a media relations, PR agency, or press office environment

Confident written English with an eye for what makes a story newsworthy

Comfortable picking up the phone to pitch a journalist, not just emailing and hoping

Organised enough to juggle multiple client accounts without dropping a deadline

A genuine interest in current affairs and how news cycles move

Some experience mentoring or checking the work of more junior colleagues is useful, though not essential

Key perks and benefits:

Salary of £22,500 to £33,500, depending on experience

Hybrid working, with a mix of office time in Nottingham and remote flexibility

Private medical insurance and pension contribution

Bonus scheme tied to performance, plus generous annual leave

Genuine professional development opportunities within a structured but flexible team

Why pursue a career in PR & Communications?

PR & Communications has grown well beyond press releases and photocalls. Clients now expect strategic counsel across earned, owned, and social channels, and that's opened up real progression routes for people who can write well and think on their feet. Nottingham has a thriving agency scene supporting national and regional clients alike, so a Senior Media Relations Executive based here isn't short of scope to build a career. Good instincts and persistence still count for more than any tool in this line of work.
