Is this role for you? 

Paramount is seeking a highly organised and proactive Publicity and Communications Co-ordinator to support the UK Publicity and Communications team across Paramount+ and Pluto TV. This role plays a key part in delivering publicity campaigns, providing day-to-day administrative, operational, and communications support across a diverse slate of content and corporate initiatives. 

Working closely with the UK and global publicity teams, you'll help drive efficient team operations, manage key processes and reporting, support talent and media activity, and contribute to delivering high-profile campaigns, events, and press initiatives. This role suits someone who enjoys entertainment, media, and storytelling and works well in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. 

Paramount+ is a premium streaming subscription service delivering live sports, breaking news, and entertainment, and is a cornerstone of the Direct-to-Consumer division of Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, a leading, next-generation global media and entertainment company. The Company's portfolio unites legendary brands, including Paramount Pictures, Paramount Television, CBS, Nickelodeon, MTV, BET, Comedy Central, Showtime, Paramount+, Pluto TV, and Skydance's Animation, Film, Television, Interactive/Games, and Sports divisions. 

You'll report to the Senior Manager, Publicity and Communications and play a key role in the day-to-day operations of the team. You'll manage a range of administrative functions, including daily media coverage reporting, financial administration (such as raising purchase orders), taking and distributing meeting minutes, and maintaining and updating media lists. You'll also provide logistical and operational support for events, press junkets, and other publicity activities as required.

• Track and monitor daily media coverage, ensuring accurate logging and reporting of press activity. 

• Compile weekly coverage reports and team updates for distribution to the wider business.

• Coordinate travel logistics and on-the-ground support for talent and their representatives, glam teams, and security personnel during publicity campaigns and events — this calls for exceptional organisational skills and attention to detail. 

• Monitor, compile, and share media reviews and critical responses with relevant stakeholders in a timely manner. 

• Build a strong knowledge of UK national print, broadcast, radio, and digital media outlets, as well as key journalists, editors, and presenters.
