Reputation Management: Monitor external conversations about our brands, manage incoming media enquiries and support communications around sensitive issues when required.
Content & Social Amplification: Work closely with Marketing to maximise the impact of media coverage across our social channels, campaigns and wider communications.
Agency Management: Manage relationships with external agencies, freelancers or specialist partners where needed, ensuring we're always getting the best results.
Measurement: Track media coverage, share of voice, brand visibility and PR performance to demonstrate impact and continually improve our approach.
Support our Founders' additional Brands: Support PR and media opportunities across our founders' wider businesses, including Reddington Pub Companies, One City and other ventures.

A creative, proactive approach to finding newsworthy opportunities.
Confidence working with senior leadership and external stakeholders.
Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
Experience with UK, UAE and US media would be a big advantage.

What Success Looks Like
Thrive is regularly featured in relevant business, technology and industry publications.
Our leadership team is recognised as a credible voice in AI and the future of work.
We have a consistent pipeline of customer stories, announcements and media opportunities.
PR actively contributes to Thrive's brand awareness, reputation, and commercial growth.
We have successful coverage for additional ventures including Reddington Pub Companies & One City
Why Thrive?
We're ambitious, fast-moving and not afraid to do things differently.
You'll have the opportunity to shape our PR strategy, work directly with our leadership team and tell the stories behind one of the UK's fastest-growing technology businesses.
