My role at Talis covers every facet of marketing for the company, including end-to-end event management, PR strategy & execution, comms, branding, social media, drafting and editing all of our content - as well as managing some of our operational projects like Office Hours, our founder mental health support programme and our D&I initiatives.  I also work closely with our portfolio, advising and supporting their teams on broad range of marketing and PR projects.
