Public Relations Account Manager

The Role:

• Multidisciplinary Narrative Execution: Serve as the primary daily driver for a roster of 4–6 clients. You develop and execute strategic communications plans that are platform-agnostic, ensuring brand stories break through in UK national press, global trades, and digital-first spaces.
• Modern Storytelling & Integration: Act as the hub for integrated communications. While you are a specialist in earned media, you understand how to navigate the UK’s social media strategy and talent integration to ensure every campaign has a cohesive, 360-degree impact.
• Account Stewardship & Leadership: Lead and project manage small-to-medium accounts, serving as the client’s trusted daily point person. You ensure deliverables are met, client expectations are exceeded, and the internal team is motivated.
• Content Command: Produce sophisticated, client-ready materials—from persuasive pitches and press releases to executive talking points and briefing notes. You are a fast, sharp writer who knows how to frame a story for various audiences.
• Event & Experience Support: Plan and execute media-specific events, including press conferences and influencer activations. You own the ground game: managing invite lists, wrangling media on-site, and ensuring the details of an activation are handled with total precision.
• Mentorship & Team Coaching: Proactively mentor and teach junior staff. This is incredibly important to us; you are a natural coach who is invested in training the next generation of account leaders in the art of the modern pitch.
• Business Growth: Participate in new business meetings and assist in creating winning proposals. You are proactive about bringing new opportunities—media meetings, key introductions, and fresh creative ideas—to your clients and the agency.
• Relationship Driven: You recognize that our business is built on trust. You lead by example in every interaction—with teammates, clients, and journalists—prioritizing integrity, transparency, and professional poise.

Who You Are:

• The Experienced Generalist: You have 5–6 years of experience in communications across a variety of consumer, tech, or lifestyle brands. You pride yourself on your ability to learn a new industry quickly and deeply.
• The Modern Strategist: You understand the mechanics of integrated communications, including the business of the creator economy and how social media moves the needle. You are an outside-the-box thinker who loves a good brainstorm.
• High EQ: You possess high EQ and great judgment. You can read a room, handle last-minute client requests with ease, and know exactly when to make a decision and when to seek senior counsel.
• A Meticulous Storyteller: You are a strong writer—persuasive, concise, and creative. You can take a complex brand mission and translate it into a narrative that compels an editor or an audience to take notice.
• Entrepreneurial & Agile: You have an innate curiosity and a desire to make things better. You don't wait for a process to be assigned; you look for ways to be helpful and bring fresh, innovative ideas to the table.
• Exceptionally Organized: You excel at managing multiple projects simultaneously with shifting priorities. You take accountability for your work and take genuine pride in the precision of your account management.
