PR Manager

We’re looking for a brilliant PR Manager to build Treatwell’s reputation and share of voice across Europe.

Sitting within our Global Brand team, you’ll lead PR across industry, consumer and corporate communications. You’ll help make Treatwell famous with beauty customers while strengthening our position as the platform shaping the future of the hair and beauty industry.

From consumer campaigns and cultural trends to industry insight, product innovation and partner success stories, you’ll find the stories that earn attention and build credibility.

You’ll need to understand both sides of our marketplace: the consumers looking for their next treatment and the salon professionals building their businesses on Treatwell.
