Communications Manager, Merchant Announcements

the team always has a clear view of what's coming and when. Reporting and measurement: Own the reporting framework for the merchant announcements programme, tracking KPIs including PR hits, social impressions, and share of voice, and presenting performance clearly to senior stakeholders. Programme development: Continuously evaluate and improve the way merchant announcements are run — from briefing templates and approval workflows to partner engagement and post-publication analysis.

What we're looking for: Experience in communications, content, or PR, ideally with exposure to B2B or fintech environments, and a track record of managing complex, multi-stakeholder announcements. AI-fluent. You use LLMs and associated tools to work faster and think harder, drafting, brainstorming, and stress-testing ideas as a matter of course. Strong writing skills across formats, with the ability to move fluently between a press release and a LinkedIn caption without losing the thread of a story. A natural coordinator who keeps projects on track without needing to be chased, and who earns trust from commercial and creative colleagues alike. Data-literate and outcomes-focused, you understand what good looks like for earned media and paid social performance, and you use that to inform how you work. Comfortable managing up and across: you can hold a timeline with a senior account manager, push back on a deadline that doesn't work, and represent the comms team's interests clearly. Sharp attention to detail, particularly around accuracy in copy that will carry a merchant's name publicly.
