About the Role

As a PR Account Manager, you’ll take ownership of shaping and implementing strategic media campaigns that enhance client exposure and credibility. You’ll be actively involved in producing engaging written materials from press announcements to thought leadership articles tailored to resonate across a range of platforms and audiences. Success in this role hinges on your ability to stay attuned to the shifting media landscape, spot relevant developments, and act swiftly to capitalise on emerging coverage opportunities.

No two days will look the same. You’ll work collaboratively with in-house teams spanning design, digital, and content to deliver well-rounded, cohesive campaigns. Your responsibilities will include overseeing client accounts, driving media outreach, and securing high-quality coverage through targeted pitching and relationship-building.

A core part of the role involves cultivating and maintaining strong ties with journalists across national, regional, and trade outlets. You’ll identify opportunities to showcase client perspectives in the press, craft messaging that fits editorial needs, and ensure communications are polished and purposeful. You’ll also play a vital part in aligning PR initiatives with broader marketing objectives, always keeping an eye on the headlines to ensure our clients remain visible, relevant, and top of mind in their industries.

To be considered for this PR Account Manager role you’ll have at least 3 years’ experience working in a fast-paced PR environment. You’ll bring exceptional writing and editorial skills, along with a sharp instinct for news and an ability to shape stories that resonate. A strong understanding of the UK media landscape spanning national, regional, digital, and trade press is essential, as is the confidence to present ideas clearly and persuasively, both internally and to clients.

You should be someone who thrives on collaboration, brings a sharp eye for detail, and is comfortable juggling deadlines without compromising on quality. A natural problem-solver, you’ll be proactive in identifying opportunities and delivering creative solutions at pace. Bonus points if you’re experienced in monitoring media coverage, familiar with digital and social media trends, and keen to contribute to team-wide knowledge sharing and innovation.
