Job description

Make your mark as a PR Senior Account Executive in the PR & Communications sector, based in Glasgow.

Glasgow's agency scene has grown sharper and busier over the last few years, with clients demanding faster turnaround and smarter media thinking than ever before. This particular business is a fast-moving startup building its name in PR & Communications, and it needs a PR Senior Account Executive who can juggle client demands without losing sight of the story. Flat structures mean your ideas reach decision-makers fast. That's rare in this industry.

Here's what you'll be doing:

• Manage a portfolio of client accounts day-to-day, acting as the main point of contact for queries and updates
• Draft press releases, pitches and media materials that actually get read and picked up
• Build and maintain relationships with journalists, editors and influencers across relevant sectors
• Monitor coverage and compile reports that show clients what's working and what isn't
• Support senior colleagues on strategy and campaign planning, contributing your own ideas rather than just executing theirs
• Coordinate events, launches and press opportunities from planning through to delivery

Here are the skills you'll need:

• A couple of years' experience in a PR or communications role, agency or in-house
• Sharp writing skills. You need to be able to turn a dull update into a story worth telling
• Confidence pitching to media and holding your own on client calls
• Genuine interest in current affairs, trends and what makes news
• Comfortable working across multiple accounts at once without dropping the ball
• A collaborative streak. You'll be expected to pitch in wherever the day needs you

Key perks and benefits:

• Salary of £24,500 to £31,500, depending on experience
• Hybrid working, splitting time between the Glasgow office and home
• Equity and stock options, so you share in what you help build
• Flexible hours and a genuinely remote-friendly culture when you need it
• A learning and development budget to back your growth as a PR Senior Account Executive

Why pursue a career in PR & Communications?

PR & Communications rewards people who can think on their feet and write under pressure, and demand for that skillset keeps rising as brands fight harder for attention. Glasgow has become a genuine hub for agencies and in-house teams alike, which means real progression for anyone willing to put the work in. Few sectors let a mid-level hire have this much visible impact this early.
