Job description

Senior Account Executive / Account Manager – Corporate PR & Communications

Location: Midlands

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

Looking to step up in your PR career while working on high-impact projects that shape the UK’s built environment? This is a brilliant 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 the best of consultancy rigour with in-house flexibility and trust.

The Role

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

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing media relations and securing quality earned coverage
• Developing messaging frameworks, media strategies, and stakeholder mapping documents
• Writing high-quality content: press releases, op-eds, Q&As, web copy, briefing notes
• Supporting and in some cases leading on client meetings and reporting
• Contributing to the development of campaign strategy and narrative
• Mentoring junior team members and supporting internal collaboration

About You

This role would suit someone with strong writing and content development skills, solid PR instincts, and a real 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 day-to-day 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’re a strong PR operator with the drive 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 real autonomy and space to grow

Benefits

As well as meaningful, high-impact work, you’ll enjoy a comprehensive package that includes:

• Attractive competitive 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
