• Acting as a key day-to-day contact for clients, confidently joining calls and meetings and owning follow-up actions.
• Managing trackers, coverage logs, timelines and budgets accurately and proactively flagging risks.
• Supporting campaign planning and contributing creative ideas that align with client objectives.
• Coordinating events, influencer outreach and creative activations, managing logistics end-to-end where appropriate.
• Supporting new business research and contributing to proposal development.

• Circa 1 year’s experience in PR, communications, journalism, marketing or social media (agency experience preferred).
• Strong writing skills with the ability to produce polished, accurate content at pace.
• Growing confidence pitching to media and building relationships independently.
• Commercial awareness and an understanding of how PR supports wider brand and business goals.
• Excellent organisation skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities.
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset and a willingness to take ownership.
• Curiosity, creativity and a desire to keep learning in a collaborative team environment.

• A competitive salary reflective of experience
• 22 days’ holiday per year
• Company pension scheme
• 4:30pm finish every Friday
• Structured training and development to support progression to Senior Account Executive
• A fun, inclusive workplace with an active social calendar
