The Role

The Junior Press Officer plays a key role in supporting TopCashback UK’s busy public relations activity.

There will be some administrative duties as part of the job, which includes monitoring our brand and competitor media coverage, producing PowerPoint reports, and assisting our Press Officer and PR Manager as needed.

Other aspects of the job include helping to create proactive media communications targeting the personal finance and consumer media. You may be asked to brainstorm creative ideas and craft media angles with the team, or you may be required to draft a comment for a journalist. Overall – it’s quite a varied position!

We’re invested in helping our Junior Press Officer get as much out of their year with us as they want, so we’d love to welcome someone with bags of enthusiasm and a can-do attitude.
