Requirements
• Proven experience in a communications role, ideally at a fintech, financial services company, or a comms/PR agency with relevant clients • A track record of building or meaningfully elevating a brand's communications function - not just maintaining someone else's • An exceptional writer: clear, compelling and able to adapt your voice to different audiences and channels • Strategic and executional: you can develop a plan and see it through - not just respond to what lands in your inbox • A strong network in UK fintech or financial media is a bonus, but not a prerequisite • Comfortable operating as a one-person function initially, with the commercial sense to know when to bring in external support • Ambitious: you want to build something that makes people take notice
Responsibilities
• Define and execute Abound's end-to-end communications strategy, covering both internal and external audiences • Build and own our media and PR presence - identify the right press, agency partners and spokespeople; secure meaningful coverage in the publications our target audiences actually read • Source, onboard and manage external agencies or freelancers needed to scale the function effectively • Be a skilled writer and editor across all formats: blog posts, press releases, exec communications, investor updates and more • Act as a spokesperson where appropriate and coach internal leaders to communicate with clarity and confidence • Develop our employer brand narrative to help us attract exceptional people • Build our investor comms playbook - ensuring our story lands clearly and compellingly with current and prospective investors
Benefits
• This is a chance to own something genuinely important at a company with real momentum. You won't be maintaining someone else's comms machine - you'll be building it. Your fingerprints will be on every piece of media coverage, every investor update, every piece of culture we put into the world. • If you want a role where your work is visible, your impact is measurable and your voice genuinely shapes how a company is perceived, this is it. • Everyone owns a piece of the company - equity • Hybrid with 3 days a week in the office • 25 days’ holiday a year, plus 8 bank holidays • 2 paid volunteering days per year • One month paid sabbatical after 4 years • Free gym membership • Team wellness budget to be active together - set up a yoga class, a tennis lesson or go bouldering
