Senior Manager of Global Communications

Responsibilities

• Own and execute Quince's UK communications strategy, building brand reputation and relevance as we scale in the market
• Own UK media relationships, building deep ties across national, consumer, fashion, lifestyle, retail, business, and tech press
• Drive a steady stream of proactive earned media, with culturally relevant UK story angles rather than imported US messaging
• Lead communications around key UK moments (launches, campaigns, milestones), spotting opportunities beyond the announcement itself
• Stay plugged into UK cultural and media conversations, and act as an early-warning system for reputation risk
• Write and edit at an exceptional standard across pitches, press materials, and executive briefings, and prepare spokespeople for UK media
• Partner closely with Brand, Social, Growth, Merchandising, and Creative to build communications into launches from the start, and manage UK agency partners

• Deep, current relationships across UK national, consumer, fashion, lifestyle, retail and/or business media, and a strong understanding of how the UK media ecosystem actually works

• Excellent editorial judgment and a strong instinct for what constitutes a genuinely compelling UK story
• Exceptional writing and editing skills, with the ability to move comfortably between consumer storytelling, corporate narratives and sensitive reputation communications
• Strong understanding of UK culture, consumer sentiment and the nuances that distinguish UK communications from US communications
• Experience managing PR agencies and working effectively across global and cross-functional teams
• Ability to translate complex business models and company narratives into simple, credible and culturally relevant stories
