Public Relations Account Manager

PR Account Manager | Wine & Drinks | Wimbledon (Hybrid)

up to £37,000

Are you a PR Account Manager who loves the drinks trade and wants to run a genuinely exciting mix of accounts — including one of the UK's best-known retail brands?

Our client is a small, award-winning drinks specialist PR and Events agency in London. Their roster includes some of the world's best-known wine brands and wine regions, and they are hiring an Account Manager to be the day-to-day lead on a portfolio that includes a major UK retail client's beers, wines and spirits business, alongside a leading wine region DO and other well-loved drinks names.

You’ll be the primary contact across these accounts, supporting their Director in coordinating workflow across a tight-knit team of 10. It’s a hands‑on role — everything from sourcing press samples to shaping annual strategy — and you’ll build genuine, lasting relationships with drinks and lifestyle media across every channel.

What you’ll be doing

• Owning the day‑to‑day for a portfolio anchored by a major retail drinks account, plus a European wine region client and other trade/consumer brands
• Writing press releases, securing coverage, and handling proactive and reactive media
• Running press briefings, dinners and press trips
• Leading client meetings, brainstorms and reporting
• Managing and developing junior team members
• Getting involved in new business pitches when they come up

What we’re looking for

• A real interest in and knowledge of wine and drinks
• Excellent writing and media relations skills
• Someone commercially minded, organised, and full of energy
