Are you a communications pro with a passion for media relations, storytelling, and making an impact in the renewable energy space?

Welcome to Alight - a fast-growing scale-up with a bold mission: to kick carbon off the grid by helping energy-intensive businesses save money with solar from day one.

We’re looking for a Communications & PR Specialist to elevate Alight’s voice across the Nordics and Europe. You'll shape our public presence, strengthen media relationships, and lead high-impact communications that position us at the forefront of the energy transition.

Your impact

As our Communications & PR Specialist, you’ll play a key role in shaping how Alight shows up in the world. You’ll join our small but mighty communications and sustainability team, working closely with leadership and across the business to drive high-impact external communications. 

Whether crafting a standout press release, guiding our spokespeople, or executing a press event, your work will directly shape how Alight is perceived by the public, partners, press, policy makers, and investors.

KEY OBJECTIVES & RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead our press office: Manage incoming media inquiries, draft press releases and Q&As (in Swedish and English), and serve as a local media spokesperson.
• Build strong media relationships: Cultivate trust with key journalists in Sweden and across Europe; you’re confident pitching stories and driving coverage.
• Execute our PR strategy: Oversee our external PR agencies in Finland and the UK to ensure aligned, high-quality output.
• Plan and run events: Coordinate press events, inaugurations, and executive roundtables—from concept and invites to on-site execution.
• Coach our spokespeople: Prepare media briefs, talking points, and coaching for our leadership team.
• Collaborate externally: Work with partners, customers, and industry bodies to amplify our messaging and influence the renewable energy agenda.
• Own our external channels: Manage our LinkedIn, website, and newsroom to maximize visibility and reach
• Create compelling content: From thought leadership blogs to investor updates and visuals such as video material or reports, you’ll bring Alight’s story to life.
• Track performance: Monitor media coverage, analyze reach and sentiment, and deliver insights to internal stakeholders.
  

We’re looking for you

• Approximately 5 years of experience in public relations, with a background in either agency or in-house roles—experience in both is considered an advantage. 
• Excellent communication skills in both Swedish and English; fluency in Finnish is a significant plus. 
• Proven track record of working directly with journalists and crafting strategic messaging for senior leaders. 
• Outstanding writing skills, with the ability to translate complex topics into clear, engaging, and accessible content. 
• Confident navigating political and regulatory landscapes; experience with industry associations or public affairs is a valuable asset. 
• Proactive, hands-on approach with a strong sense of initiative and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
• Industry experience in renewable energy is a big plus - but not required for this role
• Ability to work onsite (hybrid-remote possible) from our office in Stockholm
