Let’s face it, agency life isn’t always plain sailing.
Markets change. Industries evolve. Clients come and go. The agencies that stand the test of time are usually the ones that refuse to stand still. That’s exactly what happened here.
We’re partnering with one of Manchester’s most respected integrated agencies. A business that’s weathered economic storms, adapted to changing landscapes and continuously reinvented itself along the way. The result is an agency that’s become a genuine success story, trusted by ambitious brands and packed with talented people who genuinely enjoy what they do.
The opportunity
This isn’t a role for someone who simply manages accounts. It’s for someone who influences them.
As Senior PR Account Director, you’ll lead some of the agency’s most important B2B client relationships, providing strategic counsel, spotting opportunities others miss and helping clients tackle real business challenges through communications.
One day you’ll be advising a technology brand on reputation and positioning. The next, shaping thought leadership for a financial services client or collaborating with creative and digital teams on an integrated campaign.
You’ll have a genuine seat at the table. Clients will trust your judgement, colleagues will value your expertise, and you’ll have the freedom to make things happen.
The clients
The portfolio spans technology, financial services, professional services, and corporate brands.
These are long-standing partnerships built on trust, smart thinking, and consistently delivering results. Success here comes from getting under the skin of a client’s business and becoming a genuine extension of their team.
You
You’ll likely already be operating at Account Director or Senior Account Director level within an agency environment and be ready for a role where your experience carries real influence.
You understand what keeps leadership teams awake at night and where communications can create genuine business impact. You’ll bring strong experience across B2B PR, a track record of leading complex client relationships and the credibility to challenge constructively when needed. You’re confident presenting ideas, developing strategies and turning opportunities into meaningful results.
Just as importantly, you’ll be someone who enjoys bringing people with you. Whether that’s mentoring junior team members, supporting colleagues or helping clients see things from a different perspective, you know that the strongest outcomes are usually achieved together.
In return
This is an agency that genuinely invests in its people. The leadership team are passionate about development and proud of the careers they’ve helped build. You’ll be supported, trusted and given every opportunity to progress.
The salary is around £60 – 65,000, but the real attraction is the culture. Ambitious without ego. Talented without the noise. Supportive, collaborative and refreshingly down-to-earth.
Sometimes all it takes is finding the right place to grow.
