Lime is hiring a Corporate PR Specialist for the UK to join our Global Communications & Brand team in London! In this role, you will report into the Communications & Brand Lead for UKI and work closely with the local public affairs team, and global communications team. You will have the opportunity to help manage Lime’s fast-paced UK press office, and find ways to proactively shape Lime’s reputation in the media through storytelling as the business navigates a complex regulatory environment and high growth.
We’re looking for someone that is ambitious, quick-thinking and organised – you should have excellent time management skills, and be comfortable managing multiple projects at once in a fast-paced working environment. This role will also offer you the freedom to bring ideas to life, so if you’re a proactive self-starter that thinks outside the box, we want to hear from you. As well as being a pro at press office and corporate communications, experience or interest in politics, urban policy, and/or public affairs, alongside familiarity with data, is also beneficial.
You will work as part of a talented team of communications and marketing professionals located in cities around the world, as well as a smart, friendly local cross-functional team in London.
