Account Manager
We're looking for an Account Manager to run client campaigns day to day — the person who keeps the work moving, the media relationships warm and the clients confident they're in good hands.
What you'll do
- Lead day-to-day delivery on a portfolio of technology and founder clients, from retained programmes to fast-turnaround projects
- Pitch stories to journalists and editors across UK and African business and technology media, and secure coverage
- Draft press announcements, thought-leadership articles, executive commentary and briefing notes
- Build and keep real relationships with reporters, producers and editors in your beats
- Manage timelines, client updates and reporting so nothing slips
What we're looking for
- Around 2–4 years in PR, communications or journalism adjust range to taste
- A strong writer who can move between a press release, an op-ed and a client email without dropping quality
- Real media instinct — you can tell a story that will land from one that won't
- Organised and calm under deadline, with several things in the air at once
- Comfortable talking directly to founders and senior executives
- Interest in technology, fintech and startups, and ideally some feel for UK and/or African media
Nice to have
Existing media contacts, agency experience, or a track record of placed coverage you can point to. Not essential if the instinct and the writing are there.
What we offer
Competitive, based on experience. Hybrid working and the kind of hands-on responsibility that usually takes years to reach at a larger agency. Add holiday & benefits once set
