UK Public Relations Account Executive (UK Based) in City of London

Overview

We’re growing, and officially expanding our services to the UK. We’re looking for a UK-based Public Relations Account Executive who’s deeply plugged into the local media scene and familiar with the UK press landscape, editorial and influencer conversations across the region.

This AE will help lead accounts across media and influencer relations, thought leadership, and broader communications strategy. Depending on the client, work may also include content creation and distribution, social strategy and management, and data-driven reporting and analysis.

Account Executives at our agency are execution pros—skilled at juggling multiple accounts and delivering polished work. You’ll interact directly with clients via email, calls, and meetings, and eventually become the day-to-day lead on 4+ accounts, steering execution, communications, and reporting with oversight from an Account Supervisor or Director. AEs often play specialist roles within larger, integrated teams.

The right person will be based in the UK, confident, adaptable, and eager to grow. You learn fast, communicate clearly, and thrive in a dynamic, collaborative environment. While we’re headquartered in Miami, this is a full-time role with Work-From-Anywhere flexibility (see benefits for more).

Responsibilities

• Consistently produce results within core services of media and influencer relations.
• Lead media-facing communications including trade shows, media events, and pitches.
• Confidently handle all aspects of written and face-to-face client communications.
• Proactively lead client strategy and communicate what clients need to hear, even if it’s not what they want to hear.
• Act as an execution specialist, continuously improving efficiency in daily work.
• Commit to ongoing learning and development, seeking opportunities to learn from senior team leads.
• Articulate how results connect to client goals and objectives, a skill valued for growth beyond the AE role.

Qualifications

• Ideally minimum 2 years of relevant PR or marketing experience; prior agency setting strongly preferred.
• Understanding of product launches, brand storytelling, and media/influencer relations strategies.
• Understanding of digital/new media marketing strategies.
• Expert in persuasive writing and verbal communication.
• Strong organizational and multitasking skills.
• Demonstrated enthusiasm and a positive, collaborative attitude.

Cover Letter

Cover Letter: Feel free to include a cover letter detailing something interesting about yourself and/or career that we will not get from reading your resume. It doesn’t need to be long, just specific to this position. It’s your opportunity to sell yourself, use it.
