UK Public Relations Account Executive (UK Based)

We’re growing, and officially expanding our services to the UK. As part of this exciting new chapter, we’re looking for a UK-based Public Relations Account Executive who’s deeply plugged into the local media scene. You should know the UK press landscape like the back of your hand and have a strong pulse on what drives both 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 consistently 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 also 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).

Some things to note about this role:

• Key responsibility is to consistently produce results within our core services of media and influencer relations.
• AE\’s are highly skilled at media facing communications including trade shows, media events, and pitches.
• AE\’s are confident in all aspects of written and face-to-face client communications.
• Successful AE\’s leverage personal experience and agency expertise to proactively lead their client\’s strategy and should be comfortable telling clients what they need to hear versus what they want to hear.
• AE\’s are execution specialists, constantly reiterating their daily approach to become more efficient.
• Always learning is key to the advancement of this role, be a student and participant of client communications and strategy development, actively seeking out every opportunity to learn from agency senior team leads.
• The ability to clearly articulate how results produced coincide with client\’s goals / objectives, is highly valued and should be a focus as it is a common skill of team members that grow beyond the AE role.

Work hard, play hard is slightly outdated and work life balance implies some sort of struggle to do one and not the other. We think work should be a fun, beneficial, and enjoyable part of your life and that your life should be a fun, beneficial, and enjoyable part of your work . We try our best to provide benefits that make this a reality, and the daily transition and integration of work & life as seamless as possible.

• Approximately 30% of our 50 person team is located outside of South Florida.

• For the Moms and Dads out there…We have 20+ baby humans in our extended family, needless to say we accommodate the hectic schedules of SuperMoms and SuperDads. 100% flexible schedule helps, but accommodating school drop-offs, and unforeseen events is our specialty and you’ll have the team support to do so with ease.
