Press PR Graduate

Swytch is changing the way we move. We fundamentally believe that transport shouldn't cost the Earth - so we've made it our mission to make electric transport accessible to everybody.

Since launching in 2017 we have reached over 20,000 customers, across 50 countries who have collectively ridden over 1 million miles! Since then we have raised over $1.4M to scale our operations and secured a $400K Innovate UK grant to develop a next-generation hybrid eBike system for the future of shared electric vehicles.

Founded by Engineers and cycling enthusiasts Oliver Montague and Dmitro Khroma, Swytch is a close-knit team dedicated to creating low carbon transport solutions which are fun to use and good for the planet. We’re now growing our team to keep up with the unprecedented demand for our technology, and to be part of the electric transport revolution.

The Team

The Marketing team is headed up by our cofounder, Oliver Montague. This role will join a Front-End Web Developer, Backend Web Developer and Digital Marketing Executive in the team. The role of the team is to present Swytch technology to the media and potential consumers with the ultimate aim of generating sales.

The Role

We've had great PR to-date and we are looking to build on that success for our current and future products. Working closely with the content team, management team and reporting to CEO, Oliver Montague, this role will focus on building a pipeline of press for Swytch.

Through a carefully designed and executed PR strategy, you will be reliably generating press hits and expert reviews throughout the year. You will also have a key role in our next crowdfunding campaign, carefully orchestrating the public and press release of our next global product launch and ensuring continued engagement throughout.
