TRANSATLANTIC – DIRECTOR ROLE
About Transatlantic:
Transatlantic is a fast-growing virtual PR agency specialising in early-stage startups, scale-ups, and investment firms across the tech ecosystem. We work with some of the most exciting companies in AI, fintech, deep tech, and enterprise software, helping them secure top-tier media coverage, build credibility, and drive business growth.
We’re looking for a senior PR consultant to join our small but high-performing team and lead on some of our most ambitious, fast-paced technology accounts – primarily B2B. This is an opportunity to shape the future of early-stage PR by offering senior-level counsel to founders and investors, crafting compelling campaigns, and executing high-impact media strategies.
If you thrive in an agile, high-performance environment, love media storytelling, and have the strategic mindset to advise fast-growth startups and scale-ups, we want to hear from you.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Senior client lead for the agency’s key accounts, advising founders, investors, and senior stakeholders with strategic counsel.
- Running hard-working press offices, generating media coverage in the absence of ‘new news’, and identifying national media angles within niche trade-sector announcements.
- Developing and executing PR campaigns – from creative brief to delivery – ensuring they align with business objectives and media appetite.
- Owning the editorial strategy, identifying compelling media angles and securing coverage in national, business, and trade press.
- Planning and executing fundraising comms strategies, helping early-stage startups and scale-ups position themselves effectively for investment rounds.
- Monitoring industry trends to anticipate media opportunities, advising clients on public positioning, crisis comms, and reputation management.
- Managing freelancers and internal resources, ensuring accounts remain profitable and deliver high-impact results.
- Growing and nurturing media relationships, securing interviews, feature opportunities, and thought leadership placements.
- Driving agency growth, contributing to new business development, supporting pitches, and identifying opportunities to expand existing client relationships.
- Being an integral part of the agency’s leadership team, working closely with the CEO and MD to shape agency strategy and growth.
What We’re Looking For:
- Significant experience in a PR agency with focus on B2B tech and investment PR.
- Proven track record of securing top-tier media coverage in national, business, and sector-specific press.
- Strategic thinker with experience providing senior counsel to founders, executives, and investors.
- Ability to see media opportunities where others don’t – turning niche trade announcements into national stories.
- A strong press office operator who can create media angles in the absence of hard news.
- Experience managing fundraising communications strategies, helping clients navigate funding rounds and investment narratives.
- Experience managing multiple accounts, delegating work, and overseeing freelancers to deliver results.
- A problem-solver with the ability to anticipate challenges and provide clients with proactive, strategic guidance.
- A solid sector knowledge and keen interest in AI trends
- Comfortable working remotely in an agile, results-driven environment.
Location: Remote (UK-based). The majority of our team is in London or Manchester, and some travel for meetings will be required.
Why Join Transatlantic?
- High-impact work: Work with some of the most innovative startups and investors in the tech sector.
- Autonomy & leadership: Play a key role in shaping our agency’s future and leading client strategy.
- Flexible & remote-first: Work from anywhere, with in-person team sessions when needed.
- Exciting growth phase: Join a fast-growing agency with a strong reputation in the startup and investment ecosystem.
- Salary £55-80k bracket depending on experience with bonus potential.
