Communications Executive - 12m FTC

About Allica Bank

Allica is the UK's fastest growing company - and the fastest-growing financial technology (Fintech) firm ever. Our purpose is to help established SMEs, one of the last major underserved opportunities in Fintech.

Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers.

Role description

As communications executive, you'll work with the communications manager to drive the delivery of key communications projects to build Allica's awareness with established businesses, partners and corporate audiences.

With a focus on consumer and corporate PR, content and social media, you will work across the full mix of communications channels to hit communications objectives and maximise the reach of campaigns.

This will be a mix of project management and content creation, and would fit someone eager to own their work, drive change and find ways to get things done.
