You take the strategic vision set by senior leads and turn it into reality, owning the day-to-day delivery of complex B2B tech PR campaigns. You are the bridge between senior strategy and ground-level execution, the gatekeeper of quality, and the definitive point of accountability before anything reaches the client.

You'll manage resources effectively, hold your team accountable to deadlines, and maintain day-to-day client happiness, ensuring your accounts run at target margins.

• Strong commercial awareness, including over-servicing triggers and basic capacity planning
• A willingness to ask difficult questions, challenge the status quo, and push back where it means a better result

What's On Offer
