Job description

Ref: 35719A

Ever wanted to turn a piece of lab kit or a biotech breakthrough into a story that actually gets picked up?

Our client is a science comms and marketing agency that’s just moved into brand new offices with plenty of room to grow. They’re an agile, efficient outfit riding a real upturn in the market, and they’re looking for a Senior Account Executive ready to take on more responsibility as part of that growth. Their client base covers biotech, medtech, engineering and the wider world of scientific and technological innovation, so a genuine curiosity about how things work matters as much as PR know how. Clients are mainly UK based, though projects often have an international dimension. You’ll already have some agency experience under your belt, solid writing skills, and be ready to start building your own relationships with journalists and clients rather than just supporting others’ campaigns.

Day to day, you’ll be producing coverage worthy copy, helping run campaigns, and getting increasing exposure to client contact, from calls to the industry events where the real relationship building happens. It’s a great next step for someone who has the basics down and wants to develop into a more senior, client facing role.

The culture here is flat and genuinely collaborative, everyone’s opinion counts and morale is high, with the team together in the office Wednesdays plus one day of their choosing. Training is a big part of the offer too: CIPR accredited courses, regular lunch and learns, and hands on mentoring from senior people who know the sector inside out.

If you’ve got a couple of years’ agency experience, a science background or strong interest in the subject matter, and you’re looking to grow into a bigger client facing role, this is a great opportunity.
