MSE Job Opportunities

Press Officer – six-month fixed-term contract (entry level, x1 role)

MoneySavingExpert.com is recruiting a press officer to share responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the MSE press office.

We are looking for a highly self-motivated person who can take ownership of their own work and assist with core PR duties such as answering media requests, booking interviews, briefing spokespeople, measuring and logging coverage and writing press materials.

You will need to have demonstrable interest in all things media – with an understanding of the UK's media landscape and the role of PR – and will always have one eye on creative PR across the industry. We are also keen to meet candidates who are interested in digital communications.

You will play an exciting role in fighting consumers' corner. PR is a key influencing tool for MSE's campaigning work, which involves persuading policymakers, regulators, businesses and MPs. MSE is a politically neutral organisation, so the press officer will be expected to embody this neutral stance in the work they undertake, and to carry themselves in a way that protects MSE's trusted reputation and independence.

This is an entry-level role and would suit someone looking to develop their career in PR (with a focus on media relations). It would equally suit someone who is looking to change career direction or return to a career in PR.
