Job description

Senior Account Executive / Account Manager – Corporate PR & Communications

Location: Midlands

Salary: £30K–£42K depending on experience

Looking to advance your PR career while working on high-impact projects that shape the UK’s built environment? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a specialist corporate communications agency delivering award-winning work across sectors like infrastructure, energy, housing, and placemaking. Known for strategic thinking, exceptional writing, and long-term client relationships, the agency combines consultancy rigor with in-house flexibility and trust.

The Role

This is a hands-on delivery role with client-facing responsibilities from day one. You’ll work with a range of organisations—from national developers to local authorities and private sector partners—to craft and deliver smart, high-quality communications programs.

Key responsibilities include:

1. Managing media relations and securing quality earned coverage
2. Developing messaging frameworks, media strategies, and stakeholder mapping documents
3. Writing high-quality content: press releases, op-eds, Q&As, web copy, briefing notes
4. Supporting and leading client meetings and reporting
5. Contributing to campaign strategy and narrative development
6. Mentoring junior team members and supporting internal collaboration

About You

This role suits someone with strong writing and content development skills, solid PR instincts, and a keen interest in the built environment, infrastructure, and reputation management.

We’re looking for:

• At least 2–4 years’ experience in PR, corporate communications, or public affairs (agency or in-house)
• Confidence managing projects and client relationships
• Strong understanding of the UK media landscape (national, regional, and trade)
• Genuine interest in complex policy, infrastructure, and corporate issues
• Ability to juggle deadlines and adapt tone across multiple clients and audiences

Experience in stakeholder engagement, planning communications, or the built environment is a bonus but not essential if you are a strong PR operator eager to learn.

Why Apply?

You’ll join a team that values professionalism, integrity, and intellectual curiosity. Expect to:

• Work on complex, nationally significant projects
• Shape narratives that influence public opinion and policy
• Develop alongside supportive, experienced consultants
• Enjoy autonomy and growth opportunities

Benefits

Along with meaningful, high-impact work, you’ll receive a comprehensive package including:

• Attractive salary
• Annual bonus
• Full private healthcare cover through BUPA (with optional partner/family coverage)
• Employee Support Services
• Contractual maternity/paternity pay (100%)
• Hybrid working model
• Company away days, team lunches, and socials
