Job description

We’re looking for an experienced Account Manager or an ambitious Senior Account Executive to join a respected independent PR and comms agency based in the heart of Cardiff. This business has been delivering results-led PR, marketing and digital comms for nearly 30 years and is continuing to grow in both size and reputation. They work with an exciting range of clients across public, private and not-for-profit sectors - from national brands to purpose-led organisations doing brilliant work in Wales and beyond.

The team is tight-knit, collaborative, and driven by delivering high standards. With a strong people-first culture and a reputation for quality, this is a great opportunity to join an agency that values balance, autonomy and career progression.

What you’ll be doing
As Account Manager, you’ll be responsible for the day-to-day delivery of campaigns across PR, digital, and social media - working with a mix of B2B and B2C clients. You’ll lead on project timelines, client communication, reporting, and content - making sure everything runs smoothly and meets strategic objectives.

You’ll write and review a range of content including press releases, articles, web copy, and social media posts. You’ll keep campaign plans up to date, spot opportunities for added value, and manage budgets across your portfolio.

Internally, you’ll support the development of junior team members - helping them grow their skills and confidence - and play an active role in maintaining a positive and inclusive team culture. You’ll also collaborate closely with senior leaders on new business and the agency’s own marketing activity.

What experience you’ll need to apply

• 3+ years of experience in a PR, comms, or marketing agency.
• Proven experience leading client relationships and multi-channel campaigns.
• Strong writing, editing and verbal communication skills.
• Media relations experience with evidence of established journalist contacts.
• Experience delivering social media content and campaigns.
• Budget management and commercial awareness.
• Ability to delegate, mentor and support junior team members.
• Confident, organised and solutions-focused.
• Full UK driving licence (ideally with access to a car).
• Welsh language skills are a bonus, not essential.

What you’ll get in return
You’ll be joining a values-led agency with an excellent reputation for nurturing talent and delivering meaningful work. You’ll receive a salary of £30k–£36k DOE, 24 days holiday plus bank holidays, and a break over the festive season. There’s hybrid working with 3 days in the office, plus a focus on wellbeing, team socials, and a commitment to ongoing development through internal and external CPD, mentoring and support for professional memberships.
