Descripción del empleo

My client is an established communications consultancy with a growing specialist financial communications offering. They are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Account Manager or Account Director to join their London team, working across a portfolio of Capital Markets and corporate communications clients.

This is a particularly good opportunity for someone who enjoys the pace and complexity of financial communications and wants significant responsibility across client relationships, media activity and strategic advice.

The Role:

The majority of your work will sit within Capital Markets, alongside a smaller proportion of broader Financial Services and corporate communications work.

You'll work closely with senior colleagues and clients, taking ownership of day-to-day account delivery while also contributing to wider strategic projects and business development.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Taking ownership of client accounts and acting as a trusted day-to-day point of contact.
• Advising clients on communications activity around financial and corporate announcements.
• Supporting listed businesses through key points in their financial calendar, including results.
• Preparing and coordinating RNS announcements, from drafting through to final approval.
• Developing media strategies and securing coverage across the financial and business press.
• Building and maintaining relationships with relevant journalists and analysts.
• Providing clients with clear media intelligence, reporting and analysis.
• Helping clients navigate potentially sensitive or high-profile communications issues.
• Contributing to wider corporate reputation and Financial Services projects.
• Getting involved in pitches, proposals and other new business opportunities.
• Supporting the delivery of client events and meetings.
• Working with junior colleagues and helping them develop their skills.
• Taking an active interest in the wider financial, political and business news agenda.

What we're looking for:

We're looking for an established financial communications professional who is comfortable operating in a client-facing agency environment.

You should have:

• Around 5+ years' experience in communications, ideally within financial communications, Capital Markets or corporate communications.
• A good understanding of how UK-listed businesses operate and communicate with their stakeholders.
• Experience supporting companies through results announcements and other important points in the financial calendar.
• Practical experience working on RNS announcements, including managing the approval process.
• Strong relationships or experience working with financial and business journalists.
• An understanding of the role of sell-side analysts and the wider investment community.
• Excellent written communication skills and confidence producing client-ready materials.
• Strong verbal communication skills and the confidence to present to senior stakeholders.
• The ability to spot potential issues and understand when senior advice or escalation is required.
• Commercial awareness and a genuine interest in business, markets and current affairs.
• Strong organisation skills and the ability to manage several priorities at once.
• A collaborative, proactive approach and the willingness to be hands-on.

Experience with FTSE 100 or FTSE 250 businesses would be advantageous.

We're open to candidates at either Senior Account Manager or Account Director level. The key requirement is strong, relevant Capital Markets experience and the ability to operate confidently with clients.

The Team:

You’ll be joining a specialist team, meaning there is plenty of opportunity to have visibility across client work and make a meaningful contribution.

The environment is collaborative and fast-moving, with a strong emphasis on sharing ideas, supporting colleagues and taking ownership rather than operating within a heavily layered structure.

The role would suit someone who enjoys a varied workload, likes being close to clients and is keen to continue building their reputation within financial communications.

Please note, for this role visa sponsorship cannot be offered.
