Job Description
Phone Direct is seeking a dynamic and proactive PR Manager to join a forward-thinking client based in the S3 area of Sheffield. This is a pivotal role for an immediate start, perfect for a communications professional ready to manage a diverse portfolio of public relations activities, from media engagement and crisis communications to strategic brand storytelling. Our client operates within a fast-paced sector where reputation is everything, and they need a skilled individual to safeguard and enhance their public image. This position offers not just a job, but a significant career opportunity to make a tangible impact within a respected organisation.
As a specialist recruitment agency connecting top talent with leading employers across Sheffield and beyond, Phone Direct understands the local market. We frequently place professionals in high-calibre roles, from Data Entry Specialists in Peterborough, PE15 to Hospital Receptionists in BT12. This particular PR Manager in S3 role stands out for its strategic importance and the potential for a temp-to-perm transition for the right candidate. By applying through Phone Direct, you gain access to our extensive network and the support of a dedicated consultant who will advocate for you, ensuring a smooth onboarding process and providing ongoing career guidance. Whether you're looking for an immediate start or a long-term career move, this role represents a fantastic chance to advance your public relations career with a reputable agency backing you.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and execute comprehensive PR and communications strategies that align with the client's business objectives and enhance their brand reputation across traditional and digital media.
- Act as the primary point of contact for all media relations, including drafting press releases, pitching stories to journalists, managing interview requests, and building strong, lasting relationships with key media outlets in Sheffield and nationally.
- Proactively monitor media coverage and social sentiment, preparing detailed reports and analysis to demonstrate ROI and inform future strategy, while also managing any potential crisis communications with speed and professionalism.
- Oversee the creation of high-quality content for various channels, including website copy, blog posts, newsletters, and executive speeches, ensuring all messaging is consistent, on-brand, and effectively communicates key narratives.
- Collaborate closely with internal marketing, social media, and senior leadership teams to ensure a fully integrated approach to all external communications, supporting product launches, corporate announcements, and community engagement initiatives.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a PR Manager or in a similar senior communications role, with a demonstrable portfolio of successful media campaigns, secured coverage, and effective reputation management.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft compelling narratives for diverse audiences and present complex information clearly and confidently to stakeholders at all levels.
- Strong local knowledge of the Sheffield media landscape (S3 and surrounding areas) and established contacts with relevant journalists, bloggers, and influencers would be a significant advantage.
- A proactive, resilient, and solutions-oriented mindset, with the ability to work independently under pressure, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and thrive in a fast-paced, temporary assignment environment with the goal of securing a permanent position.
Salary & Benefits
This PR Manager role offers a highly competitive pay rate, which will be commensurate with your experience and expertise in the field. We believe in rewarding talent fairly and transparently. As a temporary placement through Phone Direct, you will benefit from our streamlined weekly pay process, ensuring you are paid reliably and on time for all hours worked. For candidates who excel in the role, there is a clear and tangible path to a temp-to-perm contract, offering job security and the full benefits package of the client company.
Beyond the financial remuneration, this role provides immense value through professional development. You will be working at the heart of a client's communications strategy, gaining exposure to high-level decision-making and complex projects that will significantly enhance your CV. The flexible nature of the assignment via Phone Direct also means you can explore this opportunity without long-term commitment initially, making it ideal for professionals seeking a new challenge or a foot in the door with a prestigious Sheffield-based organisation. We also provide access to a range of other professional roles; for instance, while you might be a PR Manager in S3, we are simultaneously recruiting for Property Solicitors in EH51, showcasing the breadth of sectors we work within.

This role is for an immediate start. Once your application is reviewed and you successfully complete our swift registration and vetting process, you could be starting within a matter of days. The client is looking to onboard the right candidate as soon as possible, making it an ideal opportunity for those seeking work without delay.

The initial placement is a temporary role, but it has a strong potential to become a permanent position (temp-to-perm) for a candidate who excels and fits well with the client's team and culture. This is a common pathway we facilitate at Phone Direct, offering flexibility with the prospect of long-term security.
What experience do I need to be considered?
We are looking for proven experience in a PR Manager or similar senior communications role. You should be able to demonstrate a track record in developing PR strategies, securing media coverage, managing stakeholder relationships, and handling crisis communications.
