PR Account Director

Posted by Beyond The Book.

Are you a PR Account Director looking for a new opportunity in an award-winning PR agency that puts culture at the heart of everything they do? You will be a senior PR with B2B sector experience (and a passion for the tech sector). This is a great opportunity if you love the idea of working with clients across healthcare tech, retail tech, marketing tech, cyber security, and robotics to name a few. Technology is everywhere and surrounds our daily lives, who cannot get excited about it? This is a full-time, permanent role with an above-industry average salary. Our client has an office in Buckinghamshire, and they are almost fully remote, with approx. 2 office days per month (every other Tuesday). Benefits include brilliant holiday allowance, incredible training and development opportunities, huge flexibility and the chance to grow your career.

The Company

This brilliant tech PR agency is based in Buckinghamshire, but fully embracing this hybrid way of working. They are almost fully remote (just showing your face in the office a couple of times a month for team days). They have an impressive client base spanning the UK and internationally and work across sectors such as retail, healthcare, logistics, Fintech, IT, Cybersecurity, professional services and marketing tech. Their client base is so broad that there is something for everyone to get excited about! One of my favourite things about my client is their attitude and commitment to culture and their team. If you are looking for a place where you feel safe, nurtured and valued then I think you will fit in well. They offer a brilliant benefits package from pension, flexi-working, training and development allowances, incentives, rewards and some of the best socials and Christmas treats I have seen!

The Role

As PR Account Director you will be responsible for developing and managing PR and content strategies for your clients. You will be client-facing, building relationships and the main point of contact on some accounts. You will also be coaching and nurturing others in the team, helping them grow in their career. You will have the opportunity to sit on the senior management team, ensuring that your ideas are valued, and helping the senior team drive the agency forward.

You will get to work with a talented senior team to ensure that you are continuing to grow and progress in your career.

About You

  • You will absolutely love B2B PR and have a passion for the tech space! You will be coming from an agency and B2B background.
  • You will have some experience in mentoring junior members of the team, offering guidance and nurturing them in their career
  • You will be experienced in end-to-end campaign management and love strategizing with your clients
  • Strong commercial experience and ability to manage budgets, forecast and get involved with pitching and new business
  • You will have proven experience in managing a portfolio of clients, being the main point of contact, consulting and reporting on a regular basis
  • You will have experience in writing content for a range of different platforms and ideally in the B2B field
  • You will be passionate about the tech space (it surrounds us and is literally everywhere, who isn't!)
  • You will love building relationships with the media and enjoy nurturing existing relationships
  • You will enjoy spotting PR opportunities and feeding these back into the team, getting involved in proposals and pitching for business
  • You will keep up to date with the latest trends in PR and be interested in what is going on in the world
  • You will be a do-er, love getting stuck in and getting involved with all PR activities
  • If you have experience in social media management, that is a plus

This role is mostly remote, but you will need to commute to Buckingham every other Tuesday - and due to the rural nature of the office you must have access to a vehicle.
