This role is for one or our top clients in the entertainment technology space. Role: PR Manager Duration: 12 Months (possible perm role after) Ideal Location: London, UK but the role is very remote with occasional office visits Critical vacancy this role fills: EMEA currently lacks a single on-the-ground PR owner, resulting in fragmented agency execution, inconsistent prioritization, and limited real-time decision-making. The 9+ hour time-zone gap creates material operational risk; without local ownership, real-time PR decisions, issue response, agency management, and KPI oversight are delayed, impacting speed and accountability. Without a centralized EMEA lead, the brand has limited visibility into PR performance ad ROI across European markets, with reporting and KPIs varying significantly by agency and country. This role enables the successful rollout and adoption of global PR KPIs in EMEA, establishing clear accountability for results rather than diffuse, agency-led reporting. Provides leadership with reliable, comparable performance data across markets, supporting smarter prioritization, risk management, and future investment decisions. Designed as a near-term stabilization role with flexibility to convert to permanent once performance, structure, and value are proven.
