Job description

Location: Central London - Hybrid, 4 days in office

The Company

A newly launched specialist communications consultancy built exclusively for the real estate investment industry - working with asset owners, fund managers and their advisers across real estate, infrastructure and natural capital.

Founded by a team of senior communications professionals who saw a clear gap in the market, the business is purpose-built to serve organisations operating in sectors that are heavily shaped by politics, regulation and public policy. Their proposition combines deep sector knowledge with genuine communications expertise - helping clients build reputation, influence stakeholders and communicate effectively in complex, high-stakes markets.

This is a challenger business at an exciting moment. The foundations are strong, the client base is growing and they are now building out their team to meet demand. For the right person, it's a genuine opportunity to join early, grow with the business and play a meaningful role in shaping how it operates.

The Role

This is an Account Manager role for someone with a background in communications or PR who is ready to take on real ownership of client work in a fast-paced, sector-focused environment.

You'll take day-to-day responsibility for client accounts - leading on media outreach, content development and strategic counsel - while playing a key role in shaping client strategy alongside senior leadership.

Given the early-stage nature of the business, this role suits someone with an entrepreneurial mindset who is as comfortable getting stuck into execution as they are contributing ideas at a strategic level. You'll be working directly with experienced founders from day one, with real exposure to senior clients and the chance to help shape the culture and processes of a growing consultancy.

Responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day management of client accounts across media relations, content and strategic communications
• Develop and deliver corporate narratives, messaging frameworks and industry positioning
• Drive media outreach and build strong relationships with relevant financial and trade press
• Produce high-quality content across thought leadership, research, digital communications and investor communications
• Support on crisis and issues management
• Contribute to client strategy and provide clear, considered counsel
• Play an active role in shaping how the consultancy operates as an early team member

Who Are You

• Experience in communications, PR or a related field - ideally with exposure to real estate, investment or professional services
• A genuine interest in real estate, investment or the intersection of communications and public policy
• Strong written skills - able to produce clear, compelling content across multiple formats and audiences
• Confident media operator with experience managing press relationships and leading outreach
• A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset - comfortable in a fast-moving, start-up environment where you're expected to take initiative
• Strong verbal communication skills, with the ability to counsel clients and present ideas clearly
• Organised and able to manage multiple accounts and priorities simultaneously

Why Join?

• Join a genuinely ambitious consultancy at the ground floor, with real opportunity to grow as the business scales
• Direct exposure to senior clients including global fund managers, pension funds and infrastructure investors
• Work on complex, high-stakes briefs that sit at the intersection of communications, policy and investment
• A genuine seat at the table - your input will shape both the work and the culture of the business
• Competitive salary, end-of-year bonus, gym membership and 28 days annual leave
