Join a startup PR & Communications company as a Communications Director in Liverpool.
PR & Communications teams inside fast-moving startups don't get the luxury of a settled playbook. Budgets shift, priorities shift, and the story you're telling investors this quarter might need rewriting by the next. This growing Liverpool business is looking for a Communications Director who can build that story from the ground up, and hold it together while everything else around it moves.
Here's what you'll be doing:
Shape and deliver the company's overall communications strategy, from media relations to internal messaging
Write and approve press releases, statements, and thought leadership pieces that actually sound like something a person wrote
Build relationships with journalists, industry commentators, and key partners across the North West and beyond
Manage crisis communications when they arise, and put plans in place so fewer of them do
Brief senior leadership ahead of interviews, panels, and public appearances
Track coverage and sentiment, then adjust the approach based on what's actually landing
Here are the skills you'll need:
Solid experience in PR & Communications, ideally with some agency or in-house leadership under your belt
Sharp, persuasive writing that holds up whether it's a press release or a board update




Comfort with ambiguity. Startups rewrite the brief halfway through, and that needs to feel normal, not stressful
A working media contact book, or at least the confidence to build one quickly
Calm judgement under pressure, particularly when a story isn't going the way you planned
Willingness to get involved outside the job description. This is a flat structure, and everyone pitches in
Key perks and benefits:
£45,500 to £65,500, depending on experience
Hybrid working, based in Liverpool
Equity in the business, so the upside is genuinely yours too
Flexible hours built around how you actually work best
A proper learning and development budget, plus a remote-friendly culture when you need it
Why pursue a career in PR & Communications?
Positive communicators are in short supply and every business, startup or otherwise, needs someone who can tell its story straight. Liverpool has become a genuinely strong base for PR & Communications talent, with a growing cluster of agencies and in-house teams that rival anything in London. Get good at this work and the ceiling is high: agency leadership, in-house director roles, or building out your own consultancy further down the line.
