Salary dependent on experience and appointment level.
Can you spot a consumer story, turn it into a strong campaign and lead the team delivering it?
PR Agency One is looking for a senior account manager or account director with strong consumer PR experience. Consumer work will be your main focus, alongside some business-to-business and corporate communications. You’ll enjoy the variety and know how to adapt a story for different audiences.
We’re interested in established senior account managers, people ready to step up to that level, and account directors who want a new challenge.
Our approach is creative effectiveness: developing ideas that earn attention and make a measurable difference to our clients’ brands, reputations and businesses. You’ll help shape those ideas, advise clients and turn plans into well-executed campaigns.
The role will involve:
- Leading client relationships, offering clear advice and keeping campaigns moving.
- Developing consumer stories and campaign ideas with a strong understanding of what makes news.
- Building relationships with journalists and securing relevant coverage across national, consumer, lifestyle and specialist media.
- Writing and editing compelling copy, from media pitches and press releases to commentary and thought leadership.
- Managing colleagues, giving useful feedback and helping them develop.
- Keeping account budgets, workloads and deadlines under control.
- Contributing to pitches and identifying opportunities to develop existing accounts.
- Using research and evaluation to improve campaigns and explain their results.
You’ll bring a track record in consumer PR, confident client handling and excellent writing skills. You should be comfortable discussing campaign strategy and getting involved in the detail of delivery.
Experience in B2B or corporate communications would be useful. If your background is predominantly consumer, we’re interested in your curiosity, judgement and willingness to apply your skills to unfamiliar subjects.
At senior account manager level, you’ll take ownership of day-to-day account delivery and team coordination. At account director level, we’ll expect broader strategic responsibility, senior client counsel and commercial oversight.
You’ll join an independent agency where media relations, creativity, research and evaluation work together, with scope to influence campaigns and help develop the people around you.
