Job description

If you’re looking to continue your communications career in an award-winning global agency, then this might just be the role for you!

Why FleishmanHillard?

We have been named PRWeek’s Global Agency of the Year and Best Places to Work; a “Standout Agency” on Advertising Age’s A-List; NAFE’s “Top 50 Companies for Executive Women” for six years running; and among our firm’s award-winning work we’ve taken home 5 Lions at the Cannes International Festival of Creativity in previous years.

We are committed to creating an inclusive and equitable working environment for everyone. As the only PR Agency awarded EY’s National Equality Standard (twice!), all applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability or age. Do let us know if you need any adjustments made during the interview process.

The Team

As sector specialists, we live and breathe the trends and issues around cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, fintech, SaaS, telecoms, digital transformation, data centres and storage, cloud computing and more. We love talking about what seem like dry, technical topics, figuring out why they matter and making them easy to understand by non-technical audiences.

Our client portfolio varies from some of the world’s largest technology brands to up and coming industry challengers. Whether it’s exploring the role of artificial intelligence in modelling the future of healthcare, finding creative ways to talk about how materials recycling can help meet sustainability goals, or working with leading influencers to raise awareness of the cyber shame attached to financial fraud, our days are always different, but rarely ever dull.

The Work

With technology rapidly becoming an inextricable part of every industry, our work spans multiple sectors, from healthcare, financial services, retail, automotive and more. This variety, along with our belief that the best communications programmes are integrated, mean our team members have the chance to contribute to, and learn from, a whole host of people and practices across the entire agency.

The Role

You’ll manage client relationships from day one, utilising the latest technology, AI tools and data to build robust communications campaigns. Supporting account teams to drive results through media relations, executive profiling, content development, social media and events. You will also contribute to new business initiatives, mentor junior team members, and ensure the smooth running of client accounts through strong organizational and project management skills. You will also play a role in supporting the team on new business and marketing efforts to continue to grow the practice and current portfolio of clients.

Key Responsibilities include:

Client Service & Project Management

• Serve as a key point of contact for clients, participating in meetings and calls, and managing regular communications.
• Support the development and execution of integrated PR campaigns and projects, ensuring deliverables align with client objectives and timelines.
• Monitor media coverage, industry trends, and competitor activities; prepare client reports and analysis.
• Help coordinate logistics for events, interviews, and other client activities.
• Effectively manage and prioritise multiple projects, ensuring deadlines and quality standards are met.
• Accurately record time and activities; support the development and improvement of internal processes.

Media Relations & Stakeholder Engagement

• Build and maintain strong relationships with journalists, bloggers, influencers, and other external stakeholders.
• Proactively pitch stories, secure media coverage, and manage day-to-day media enquiries.
• Support the development of media strategies and identify relevant opportunities for client exposure.

Strategy & Creativity

• Participate in planning sessions, contributing original ideas and research to enhance campaigns.
• Stay up to date with sector trends, award-winning work, and best practices to inspire creative solutions for clients.
• Understand clients’ broader business and communications objectives, relating external developments to account strategy.

Business Development

• Contribute to new business pitches by conducting research, developing presentation materials, and supporting proposal writing.
• Attend industry events and networking opportunities to represent the agency and gather market intelligence.

Teamwork & Leadership

• Mentor and support junior members of the team, delegating tasks and providing constructive feedback.
• Foster an inclusive, collaborative and positive team environment, upholding agency values.
