Company Description
Halo is an international communications agency for the people building the future in space, defence, deep tech, climate and AI.
Our clients are delivering world-changing innovation. Our job is to make sure the right people understand why it matters: media, investors, governments, partners and the public. We do that through strategy, earned media and content that's impossible to scroll past.
We're human-led and AI-powered. We've built our own tools to carry the routine work, so our people spend their time on strategy, relationships, creativity and writing.
We take the work seriously. We don't take ourselves too seriously.
Role Description
This is the senior client-facing PR role at Halo. You'll own the PR strategy across our client book, run the press office, and write and pitch to national and international print and broadcast.
We are after the best writer and the sharpest media brain, with your hands on the work every day.
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'll report to the CEO and sit alongside our Head of Digital and Operations. Between you, you'll hold the PR that leaves the building.
What You'll Do
- Own PR strategy for our clients as part of their wider comms strategy
- Run the press office: announcements, reactive comment and a close eye on the news cycle
- Write press releases, thought leadership, comment and briefing notes
- Build journalist relationships across space, AI, defence, science, tech and climate and health
- Prepare and brief spokespeople and handle embargoed and sensitive comms with care
- Support our account managers and set the standard on every account
- Spot where accounts should grow, contribute to new business, and help shape what we build with AI next
Hybrid, Full-Time
Up to three days a week in our Newquay office (or full-time there if you'd prefer). Occasional UK and international travel. Private healthcare after one year.

Qualifications
- Solid PR or comms experience, agency or in-house, where you've owned client relationships and helped set strategy
- Hands-on and happy about it. You write well and quickly, and love landing a story
- Live media relationships across space, defence, science, tech, climate or business press, or a track record of building them fast
- Sound judgement under pressure: embargoes, corrections and clients with a problem
- Someone a team wants to learn from
- Comfortable in a fast-moving business where the structure is still being built
- Curious about AI and how it changes this job
- Curious about the tech. You don't need a physics degree, just the urge to understand it
