Iwoca · London
Iwoca is a fintech company focused on providing flexible finance solutions to small and medium-sized enterprises. As a UK Communications Executive, you will join the external communications team to help position the company as a leading voice in the SME finance sector. Your daily responsibilities will involve supporting data-driven PR campaigns, such as annual economic rankings and SME sentiment surveys, where you will be expected to analyze raw datasets to craft compelling narratives for regional and national media. You will also take ownership of communications for specific product lines, collaborating with venture leads to develop launch strategies and maintain ongoing awareness for tools like credit-building platforms, insurance services, and payment solutions. Additionally, the role involves supporting public affairs and policy work, alongside managing day-to-day media relations to keep the company visible to key stakeholders. This position is well-suited for a candidate with up to two years of experience who is comfortable working with data, enjoys translating complex commercial objectives into clear messaging, and is eager to contribute to a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment.
The company Small businesses move fast. Opportunities often don’t wait, and cash flow pressures can appear overnight. To keep going, and growing, SMEs need finance that’s as flexible and responsive as they are. That's why we built iwoca. Our smart technology, data science and five-star customer service ensures business owners can act with the speed, confidence and control they need, exactly when it's needed. We’ve already cleared the way for 100,000 businesses with more than £4 billion in funding. Our passionate team is driven to help even more SMEs succeed, through access to better finance and other services that make running a business easier. Our ultimate mission is to support one million SMEs in their defining moments, creating lasting impact for the communities and economies they drive. The team This is an opportunity to build your career in communications at a fast-growing fintech that's reshaping SME finance. You'll be part of iwoca's external communications team, helping drive coverage across our expanding product portfolio, working on data-led campaigns and supporting our work with government and policymakers. Our comms function works across the business to position iwoca as a leading voice in SME finance. You'll collaborate closely with Product, Commercial, and Executive teams to translate business priorities into compelling narratives that drive both brand awareness and customer acquisition. The role We're looking for a Communications Executive with up to two years' experience to join our UK comms team. Working alongside the team, you'll help publish our major data-driven campaigns, own the communications for a couple of our newest products, and support our public affairs and policy work. You'll also help with the BAU media activities that keep iwoca front-of-mind with key journalists and stakeholders. Examples of the type of work you'll be doing: 1. Support data-driven PR campaigns Working with the team, you'll run several established data-driven campaigns: Top 25 UK Cities for SME Jobs: Our annual ranking combines ONS employment data, business figures, and economic indicators. You can refine the methodology if needed, analyse the latest data, and craft narratives for regional and national media. SME survey research: Twice a year you'll help commission original survey research, working with established research partners to design questionnaires capturing timely SME sentiment. You'll help ensure we generate "business news" coverage that responds to real economic issues. You'll be comfortable working with raw datasets - not just presenting finished analysis. Spotting surprising findings, identifying regional variations, understanding which angles interest journalists versus policymakers. 2. Start shouting about our new products You'll eventually own the communications for a couple of iwoca's newest products, working directly with Venture Leads to drive awareness and customer acquisition. Here are a few we've just launched that you could be working on: Credit Compass: Our credit-building tool helping SMEs improve their scores. You'll identify customer success stories, translate credit score trends into compelling narratives, and position this as iwoca's answer to the credit access gap. SME Insurance: Help launch this proposition to market - identifying angles around why SMEs need this product and announce new strategic partners as and when we secure them. iwoca Credit Card: You'll be involved from the ground up - understanding competitive positioning, identifying what's newsworthy in a crowded market, building a launch campaign that breaks through. iwocaPay (launched in 2020): Our instant payment solution - you'll help scale awareness as this product continues to grow, finding ongoing news hooks beyond what we've already done in recent years. For each product, you'll get under the hood with the Venture Leads - understanding commercial objectives, customer pain points, competitive landscape - then translating that into comms plans that drive both coverage and business outcomes. You'll own two products, with the split decided once you're in the job. 3. Support our public affairs and policy work iwoca works with government and policymakers to make the case for better access to finance for small businesses. You'll support this work, engaging with relevant government departments, industry bodies and ministers where relevant. This could include: Tracking policy and regulatory developments that affect SMEs and SME lending. Helping draft consultation responses, policy briefings and position papers. Using our lending and survey data to build the evidence behind our policy positions. Preparing briefing materials for meetings with officials, industry bodies and ministers. The requirements Essential: Up to two years' experience in communications, PR, public affairs, policy, journalism or a related field. Internships and placements count, and we welcome recent graduates. Excellent writing skills with the abilit
