Job Description

Posted on: July 7, 2026

Capsul is hiring an experienced PR professional to secure earned media coverage in top-tier publications. This is a short-term, results-based contract with potential to grow into an ongoing role.

⚠️ Requirements — read carefully before applying:

  • Minimum 5 years of PR or journalism experience with verifiable placements
  • You must have already placed stories in Tier 1 or Tier 2 outlets — live links required
  • Earned media only. Guest posts, contributor articles, sponsored content, and pay-to-play placements do NOT count. If your portfolio is built on "Forbes Contributor" or similar guest contributions, please do not apply.
  • We're looking for a real PR professional or working journalist with genuine editorial relationships — not someone who buys or self-publishes placements.

Tier 1 outlets we're targeting:BBC, The Guardian, The Times, The Telegraph, The Independent, Financial TimesTier 2 outlets:Evening Standard, Dezeen, Wallpaper*, Monocle, GQ UK, Grand Designs Magazine📣 About the engagement:We're a lean, fast-growing startup — not looking for a large agency. We want a small firm or independent freelancer who works fast and delivers. We'll start on a per-article basis to test fit, with potential to expand to part-time or full-time based on results.

🎯 The ideal candidate:

  • Portfolio of earned editorial placements in the outlets listed above (links required)
  • Existing relationships with staff journalists and editors at these publications
  • Crafts sharp pitches and compelling brand narratives
  • Independent, resourceful, outcome-driven
  • Experience with startups or fast-growing brands; bonus if you know the housing, design, or innovation space

🛠 What you'll do:

  • Land high-profile earned placements for Capsul in Tier 1 and 2 publications
  • Develop media strategy and pitch angles
  • Align messaging with our brand identity alongside our team

📅 Timeline: Immediate start.

👉 To apply: Send your portfolio of past earned placements (with live links) to team@capsulgroup.com. Applications with guest contributions or without published Tier 1/2 placements will not be considered.

Let's build something newsworthy. 🚀
