Position: Account Executive / Manager - B2B Music PR & EU Policy

Employer: Name PR

Category: Music

Location: Hybrid

£28,500 to £32,000 depending on experience + benefits

Are you interested in working on some of the music business’ most pressing issues, including AI and fixing ticket touting across Europe?

Are you looking to further your career in PR and work with some of the industry’s most influential music companies and concert promoters?

Name PR, one of the UK’s leading music business communication consultancies, is looking for an Account Executive / Manager for a unique role split between our B2B PR consultancy and our sister organisation, FEAT – a non‑profit campaigning for secure, promoter‑authorised ticket resale across Europe.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with excellent writing skills and a keen interest in the business and policy side of music, now ready to join the best. You will engage with some of the biggest topics in the industry today, from challenges for independent artists, AI, and the streaming economy, to the fight against ticket touting.

On the PR side, you will work with organisations across all areas of the industry. Current and recent clients include the Association of Independent Music (AIM), Believe UK, Exceleration Music, IDOL, Mahogany, Proper Music Distribution, and Sony Music UK.

For FEAT, you will help run day‑to‑day operations and progress our work on regulation, enforcement, and best practice. Since launching in 2019, FEAT has helped secure key provisions in EU law, spoken at the European Parliament, and developed reporting systems for illegal ticket listings. The next 12 months are a pivotal time for the organisation as we work to ensure ticket resale is tackled properly within the EU’s upcoming Digital Fairness Act.

Based in London, this full‑time role sits within a small, dynamic team where you will receive extensive training, the opportunity to progress quickly to a high level, and, should you wish, to specialise in PR or policy work. Occasional out‑of‑hours work may be required around visits to the European Parliament in Brussels, as well as conferences and events across the EU.

We are looking for a capable individual, and depending on your level, you could join as a Junior Account Executive through to Junior Account Manager.
