Public Relations Manager

80Twenty is a boutique marketing recruitment agency that connects high-growth companies with exceptional candidates.

Our client is a fast-growing, mission-driven skincare brand redefining what clean beauty can be. Rooted in ancient botanical science, they've developed a proprietary approach to formulation that strips out fillers and replaces them with potent, plant-derived actives - delivering clinically backed results with a radically smaller environmental footprint.

They've built real product credibility, a loyal customer base, and a story that the beauty world is paying attention to - and now need a PR leader to amplify it. This is a rare opportunity to own the narrative for a brand at an inflection point - shaping how the industry understands the future of clean, high-performance skincare.

• Building and sustaining strong relationships with journalists, editors, and industry voices - with proactive pitching and diligent follow-through
• Leading paid media and ad-buying strategy in print and digital outlets to extend brand reach
• Planning and executing press events, brand activations, and media roundtables that communicate premium brand identity
