Senior Account Executive – Strategic Communications Agency

An award-winning communications consultancy is looking for a Senior Account Executive with genuine passion, curiosity, and drive to deliver impactful work across corporate, consumer and purpose-led briefs. This is not your standard PR agency role. It’s a rare opportunity for someone who sees communications as a force for influence and change – whether that’s shaping the future of food and farming, improving workplace mental health, redefining the role of business in society or tackling global issues like climate and displacement. This team works at the intersection of business, society and culture – helping clients communicate with clarity, integrity and impact.

The Role

• You’ll play a key role across a mix of strategic accounts, helping deliver thoughtful campaigns and smart media strategies that reach the audiences who matter – whether that’s national news, trade media, online platforms or social channels.
• A trusted point of contact for clients, helping to manage workflow and push forward creative and strategic delivery.
• Drafting and editing content across channels – from press materials and opinion pieces to social copy and storytelling assets.
• Driving media engagement and building strong journalist relationships, securing coverage that shifts perception and drives action.
• Spotting opportunities to elevate client profiles, tell better stories, and connect the dots between issues, audiences and outcomes.
• Contributing to client meetings, campaign planning and new business development.
• Part of a close-knit team that collaborates, supports, and celebrates each other’s wins.

Who This Role Is For

You might come from a corporate, consumer, B2B or integrated agency background. What matters most is your love for communications, your curiosity about how the world works, and your desire to build – your campaigns, your career, and the agency you’re part of. This is a team for people who:

• Thrive on variety and challenge – from crafting a reactive comment to shaping a long-term media strategy.
• Care about delivering meaningful work that drives results, not just outputs.
• Have 2+ years of experience in PR or strategic communications and a track record of working across multiple client accounts.
• Are organised, proactive and calm under pressure – the kind of person who sees what needs doing and gets stuck in.
• Want to grow – fast – and be part of something evolving, not just slot into an existing mould.

Why This Role?

You’ll be joining a collaborative, energised team that’s serious about quality, values integrity, and is committed to doing work that matters. The agency offers:

• A culture that genuinely respects balance – flexible working, no late-night expectations, and support when you need it.
• Core working hours with real autonomy and trust.
• A share in the agency’s success through an EMI scheme.
• A development-focused environment with coaching, mentoring, and regular growth conversations.
• The chance to contribute to the direction of the agency, not just deliver the work.
• Clients and campaigns that live at the heart of today’s most pressing issues – from sustainability and social impact to innovation and business transformation.

If you’re curious, collaborative and ready to take the next step in a role where you can make a real impact – we’d love to hear from you.
