job description

Senior PR Account Director urgently required to join one of the region's fastest growing and most exciting PR teams.
As Senior PR Account Director within the PR team, you'll have responsibility for a mix of prestigious consumer and B2B brands, so broad sector experience is highly desirable. That said, the bias is very much towards consumer clients, so if you don't have too much B2B, it won't be a major issue.
As you'd expect, target press/media will span both national and local, both on and offline. To be considered you'll need to have a proven PR agency background, with a portfolio bursting with great campaigns and coverage, along with an ability to nurture and inspire more junior team members. Naturally, you'll be brilliant with clients too!
Comfortable developing strategy, with a willingness to get stuck into all the tactical delivery, you'll be a team player who loves nothing more than achieving brilliant results for your clients. You'll also be adept at spotting growth opportunities and developing accounts, along with being confident liaising with board level clients and delivering compelling pitches. In an ideal world, you'll have exceptional traditional PR skills, coupled with experience of the world of digital and social media and an understanding of the benefits this offers clients.
It could be that you're a proven Senior Account Director, or it could be that you're an excellent Account Director who's ready to make the step up. Either way, fantastic opportunities await in one of the most exciting PR teams around.
Email your CV over asap for immediate and confidential consideration.
