## Description

We're currently looking for an interim PR Manager UK for a fixed contract period of 12 months. Someone to join our UK Public Relations and Communications team to continue building the Polestar brand in the UK. Someone with a passion for media relations, electric mobility, an interest in technology, and a desire to create the change we know is needed.

This role is offered on a fixed-term basis for 12 months to provide cover during an employee's internal secondment. The appointment is linked to the secondment and will end upon the substantive postholder's return to the role.

The Polestar UK PR team is small but hardworking, punching above its weight in terms of coverage and positive tonality. This position is located in Bicester, Oxfordshire. There is potential for wider travel as part of the role, but usually, you will work three days a week in the office at Bicester with optional working from home for the other two.

The responsibilities:

- Day-to-day liaison with a wide range of media in automotive, tech, corporate news, and lifestyle

- Prepare and deliver industry-leading events and launches

- Administer and nurture new and existing partnerships

- Deliver tangible uplift in brand awareness, coverage, and tonality

- Manage third-party agencies, including a corporate PR agency, lifestyle PR consultant, and PR event teams

- Execute PR strategy

- New model media launches

- Story creation and ideas generation

- Partnerships management

- Management of internal communications to a team of 100

- Budget, press fleet, and day-to-day operations supported by an intern

The ideal candidate: In order to succeed in this role, and at Polestar in general, there are a few characteristics you'll need to have. Tenacity. Flexibility. Curiosity. The ability to take the initiative, to meet deadlines and requirements, and to abandon ideas when they're not feasible.

You'll also need:

- At least 8 years of automotive PR experience with sound established media relations

- Creative mindset with a good eye for a story

- Excellent writing skills, telephone manner, budget management, and project management skills

- Proven reputation in the industry with respect from industry peers

- Fluent in English
