Description:
We’re looking for a Content & PR Executive who can deliver high‑quality, externally facing content and PR activity at pace, supporting the wider marketing function and business objectives.
This is not a pure writing role. You’ll use your copywriting skills as a foundation, but your impact will come from your ability to deliver integrated content and PR activity, manage partners, and support campaigns that build Markel’s brand, reputation and visibility in the UK market.
You’ll work closely with the Content Manager, marketing colleagues, agencies and subject‑matter experts across the business, operating in a structured and regulated environment where attention to detail, judgement and delivery really matter.
What you’ll be responsible for:
Deliver external content and PR activity
- Produce high‑quality, audience‑led content for external marketing and PR activity, including web, campaigns, thought leadership, press materials, social and sales collateral
- Ensure all content is on‑brand, compliant and aligned to business objectives
Support content and PR execution across the business
- Play a key role in delivering the editorial and PR plan, running multiple workstreams and deadlines simultaneously
- Support the development and execution of externally facing campaigns that enhance brand visibility and reputation
Partner and agency collaboration
- Work confidently with internal partners to identify stories, shape messages and deliver content that meets commercial and reputational goals
- Brief, manage and collaborate with external agencies and suppliers, ensuring clear direction, timely delivery and high standards
Multi‑channel thinking
- Adapt core narratives across channels, understanding how messaging needs to shift for different audiences, platforms and formats
- Contribute content to digital and social activity that supports broader marketing objectives
Operate effectively in a regulated environment
- Ensure all content meets regulatory, governance and GDPR requirements
Measure and improve
- Contribute to monitoring and reporting on content and PR activity
- Use insight and data to inform improvements and future planning
What we’re looking for:
Essential
- Proven experience in a content, PR, or marketing communications role, ideally within an in‑house marketing team or agency environment
- Experience delivering externally facing content or campaigns, not solely internal communications
- Strong copywriting and editing skills, with the ability to write for different audiences, channels and objectives
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver at pace, with a high degree of autonomy
- Experience working with multiple collaborators and navigating structured approval processes
- Experience briefing or working with external agencies or suppliers
- Strong organisational skills, sound judgement and attention to detail
Desirable
- Experience in B2B, professional services or regulated industries
- Exposure to PR activity, media relations or reputation‑led content
- Marketing or communications qualification
