PR Account Manager, up to £40k, Leading PR Agency, Gloucestershire, Hybrid, Permanent

We're working with a well‑established, independent PR and communications agency based in Gloucestershire that has built an outstanding reputation across both consumer and B2B sectors.

They deliver everything from media relations and social media campaigns to events, awards, influencer marketing and strategic communications.

With a collaborative culture and genuine focus on development, the agency offers regular one‑to‑one coaching, ongoing training and clear opportunities to progress into senior leadership.

If you enjoy working with ambitious clients and want to play a key role in a growing agency, this is an exciting opportunity.

Description

As a PR Account Manager, you'll take ownership of your own portfolio of clients, becoming a trusted advisor while leading the delivery of creative and commercially successful PR campaigns.

• Supporting and mentoring junior team members
• Producing campaign reports and presenting results to clients
• Contributing to new business pitches, proposals and agency growth

This is a hands‑on role where everyone supports each other, so you'll be just as happy rolling up your sleeves when needed as you are leading client conversations.

Experience

You'll already have experience managing PR accounts and be confident advising clients, building relationships and leading campaigns.

We're looking for someone who has:

• Previous experience in a PR Account Manager or Senior Account Executive role
• Excellent writing and media relations skills
• Strong organisation and project management abilities
• Confidence presenting ideas and advising clients strategically
• Experience mentoring or supporting junior colleagues
