Job description

Job Description (Account Executive)

No PR experience required. None. School leaver, recent grad, three years behind a bar, doesn’t matter. What matters is whether you’re charismatic, curious and clued in, because that’s genuinely the job here.

You’ll be in the thick of it from day one, supporting the wider team across client servicing, from coverage tracking to media relations to the stuff that doesn’t have a neat job title yet. You’ll learn fast because you’ll be trusted with real work early.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Building and maintaining media lists, and knowing which journalist or producer actually wants the story you’re pitching
• Developing relationships with key media contacts and regularly delivering campaign coverage as a result of those relationships
• Supporting campaign delivery, from admin and logistics through to being in the room on the day
• Tracking coverage and pulling together reports
• Helping draft pitches, press releases and briefing documents
• Getting involved in client calls and campaign meetings from early on, not sitting at the back taking notes
• Keeping across the news agenda daily, because knowing what’s happening is half the job

Based in Camden, hybrid. Salary £28k. Start September.
