Account Director - Tech PR

Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum. 

At Edelman, we understand diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) transform our colleagues, our company, our clients, and our communities. We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging.

The Edelman Technology team is on a mission to help the world’s greatest tech companies build and safeguard trust with an ever-growing audience of stakeholders.

We strategically partner with clients to deliver global, regional, and UK integrated campaigns across emerging technologies, social platforms, and transformative innovation brands — from the biggest global players to dynamic scale-ups shaping the future.

Championing diverse skills, backgrounds and specialisms is key to our success. Our 50+ strong team of technology communications experts works alongside 100+ corporate, brand and integrated specialists across Edelman, helping us maintain our position as an award-winning agency — and PRWeek UK’s #1 Tech agency.

As the team continues to grow and evolve, we’re now seeking a Senior Account Manager who thrives in a fast-paced, intellectually curious, and globally connected environment.
 

We’re looking for a Senior Account Manager who brings structured thinking, commercial awareness, and strategic rigor to client work. This role is ideal for someone who understands how tech companies operate internally, is confident managing complex multi-market programmes and multiple internal & external stakeholders, and can flex Edelman’s global network to deliver impact across regions - including a growing focus on Korea and wider Asia-Pacific markets.
 

Rather than a traditional media relations role, this opportunity suits someone who enjoys providing senior client counsel, stakeholder management, leading integrated programmes, and ensuring operational excellence across scoping, resourcing, and budgeting. You’ll act as a trusted advisor to clients, ensuring delivery is efficient, strategic, and insight-driven.
 

You’ll be central to:

• Supporting the day-to-day running of high-profile technology accounts, working with local and global stakeholders
• Providing strategic, structured, and commercially grounded client counsel
• Leading budget scoping, financial tracking and reporting
• Managing workstreams across markets, ensuring clarity, consistency and quality in deliverables
• Helping teams navigate global networks and cultural nuances, particularly within the Korean and APAC markets
• Collaborating with internal specialists across strategy, creative, data, and digital to deliver integrated campaigns
• Translating business priorities into effective communication strategies that drive measurable results
• Supporting client operations at global events

About You

• Proven experience managing global or multi-market technology accounts, with a particular emphasis on Asian markets such as Korea.
• Strong strategic and consultative skills, adept at providing senior-level counsel and navigating complex business environments.
• Highly organized and commercially aware, with demonstrated ability in project scoping, budgeting, and management.
• Expert at leveraging international networks and coordinating teams across different regions to ensure unified execution.
• Skilled in distilling intricate business or technology concepts into actionable, strategic recommendations.
• Collaborative approach, effectively bringing together cross-functional teams to pursue common objectives.
• Comprehensive understanding of integrated communications, including the interplay of earned, owned, and paid channels.

Our benefits and policies are designed to ensure our employees feel comfortable, inspired, and equipped to thrive. We offer a wide range of benefits across health, family, community, finance, and time away including:
 

• Competitive annual holiday plus an additional day for your birthday and 3 days over the festive season
• Flexible working - hybrid policy and 30 days’ work-from-anywhere worldwide
• Financial wellbeing – pension plan, income protection, and life insurance
• Family support - up to five months of fully paid leave for new parents (maternity, adoptive, or shared parental), as well as gifts for life’s big moments
• Health & wellbeing – private medical insurance, digital GP access, wellbeing programmes, cycle-to-work scheme and more
• Professional development - continuous learning and growth through the Edelman Learning Institute
• Community - weekly social gatherings and an annual Citizenship Day to volunteer for causes you care about

Our culture is guided by our core values, which shape how we work with our clients, colleagues, and communities:
 

• The Relentless Pursuit of Excellence – bringing the best of ourselves and our partners to our clients
• The Freedom to be Constantly Curious – driving creativity and growth for clients and ourselves
• The Courage to Do the Right Thing – committed to a diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce
• The Commitment to Positively Impact Society – performing our work with conscience, fairness, and environmental awareness
