An established international consumer manufacturer has asked us to find an experienced PR and Events Manager to lead high-profile PR and events activity across its European business.
The communications team has recently been brought together under a new structure, creating an opportunity for someone to influence how PR and events are delivered internationally.
The Role
You will lead a varied programme of PR and events, combining strategic planning with hands-on delivery.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Planning and delivering international product launches, media events and press experiences
- Creating press materials, messaging, presentations and supporting visual content
- Developing proactive PR stories, influencer initiatives and experiential campaigns
- Managing agencies, production partners, suppliers and significant programme budgets
- Working with international teams to create a consistent approach across different markets
- Leading and developing a team member
- Evaluating performance and recommending future PR and events priorities
International travel will be required. This will vary throughout the year and may become more regular during busy launch periods.
About You
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will already have experience leading both PR and events activity at this level, including large-scale product launches, media events or consumer experiences.
International experience is important, whether you have worked across European markets, within a regional structure or delivered campaigns and events for international audiences.
You will be commercially aware, confident managing substantial budgets and comfortable working with senior stakeholders, agencies and teams across different cultures and locations.
Most importantly, you will bring curiosity, a challenging spirit and the confidence to question established ways of working while remaining collaborative and hands-on.
Why Apply
This is an opportunity to join a newly formed communications team while its structure and approach are still evolving. You will have genuine ownership of the international PR and events strategy rather than inheriting a completely fixed way of doing things.
The role offers visible, high-profile work and a genuine balance of strategic responsibility and creative delivery.
Recruiter Thoughts
Ben, our Recruitment Partner who is managing this role, says:
“What stood out to me is the scope for someone to make this role their own. The business is bringing previously separate areas of communications together and wants an experienced PR and events professional who can help shape the new approach. There is plenty to get stuck into from the outset, but also real freedom to introduce new ideas and influence how the role develops.”
