Full time or part time considered, minimum three days a week, based at our office in Layer Marney Tower in Colchester. You'll need your own transport.
Orange is an independent consumer PR agency working with leading food, drink and lifestyle brands - challengers making noise, and heritage names with long histories to draw on.
We're looking for a Senior Account Manager to take full ownership of a portfolio of those accounts.
The role
This is media relations at its core, with the campaign work that surrounds it. You'll run your accounts autonomously. Day to day, you'll:
- Own the client relationships on your accounts - the trusted day-to-day contact they call first, and the one who steers the conversation when something needs steering
- Lead campaigns from the first idea through to the final report: creative thinking, activations, events and influencer collaborations as well as the press office and collating reviews
- Drive media relations and land coverage that matters - finding the angle, writing the pitch, selling it in and chasing it down - and oversee influencer sourcing alongside it
- Keep delivery on track: budgets, timelines, weekly actions, status reports and the client servicing that goes with a good relationship
- Mentor and manage the junior team
- Spot where existing accounts could grow, and pitch for new business alongside the founder and Account Director
What you'll need
You must come from a PR agency background. At least four years in consumer PR, currently at Account Manager level or above, ideally with food and drink, FMCG or lifestyle brands behind you.
A strong media relations record and coverage you're proud of. Experience of campaigns that reach beyond the press office - activations, events, the kind of idea that earns attention rather than asks for it. Proven ability to run client relationships and lead projects without supervision; client servicing is central to this role, not an add-on. Commercial instinct - you notice where an account could grow, and you say so.
What we offer
- 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, rising with length of service ( Holiday is pro-rated for part-time hours.)
- Your birthday off (everybody deserves a day off to celebrate!)
- Flexible working: core hours are 10am to 4pm, and we consider hybrid, compressed hours, a four-day week and part-time arrangements at every level of the agency.
- Enhanced maternity, adoption and shared parental pay, plus fertility leave, pregnancy loss leave, neonatal leave and a menopause policy.
- Additional leave
- Enhanced maternity leave
- Enhanced paternity leave
- On-site parking
- Private medical insurance
Pay: £38,000.00-£43,000.00 per year
