PR: SAM/AD Capital Markets in London

My client is an established communications consultancy with a growing specialist financial communications offering. They are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Account Manager or Account Director to join their London team, working across a portfolio of Capital Markets and corporate communications clients.

This is a particularly good opportunity for someone who enjoys the pace and complexity of financial communications and wants significant responsibility across client relationships, media activity and strategic advice.

The Role:

The majority of your work will sit within Capital Markets , alongside a smaller proportion of broader Financial Services and corporate communications work.

You'll work closely with senior colleagues and clients, taking ownership of day-to-day account delivery while also contributing to wider strategic projects and business development.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Taking ownership of client accounts and acting as a trusted day-to-day point of contact.
• Advising clients on communications activity around financial and corporate announcements.
• Supporting listed businesses through key points in their financial calendar, including results.
• Preparing and coordinating RNS announcements, from drafting through to final approval.
• Developing media strategies and securing coverage across the financial and business press.
• Building and maintaining relationships with relevant journalists and analysts.
• Providing clients with clear media intelligence, reporting and analysis.
• Helping clients navigate potentially sensitive or high-profile communications issues.
• Contributing to wider corporate reputation and Financial Services projects.
• Getting involved in pitches, proposals and other new business opportunities.
• Supporting the delivery of client events and meetings.
• Working with junior colleagues and helping them develop their skills.
• Taking an active interest in the wider financial, political and business news agenda.

What we're looking for:

We're looking for an established financial communications professional who is comfortable operating in a client-facing agency environment.

You should have:

• Around 5+ years' experience in communications , ideally within financial communications, Capital Markets or corporate communications.
• A good understanding of how UK-listed businesses operate and communicate with their stakeholders.
• Experience supporting companies through results announcements and other important points in the financial calendar.
• Practical experience working on RNS announcements , including managing the approval process.
• Strong relationships or experience working with financial and business journalists.
• An understanding of the role of sell-side analysts and the wider investment community.
• Excellent written communication skills and confidence producing client-ready materials.
• Strong verbal communication skills and the confidence to present to senior stakeholders.
• The ability to spot potential issues and understand when senior advice or escalation is required.
• Commercial awareness and a genuine interest in business, markets and current affairs.
• Strong organisation skills and the ability to manage several priorities at once.
• A collaborative, proactive approach and the willingness to be hands-on.

Experience with FTSE 100 or FTSE 250 businesses would be advantageous.

We're open to candidates at either Senior Account Manager or Account Director level . The key requirement is strong, relevant Capital Markets experience and the ability to operate confidently with clients.

The Team:

You’ll be joining a specialist team, meaning there is plenty of opportunity to have visibility across client work and make a meaningful contribution.

The environment is collaborative and fast-moving, with a strong emphasis on sharing ideas, supporting colleagues and taking ownership rather than operating within a heavily layered structure.

The role would suit someone who enjoys a varied workload, likes being close to clients and is keen to continue building their reputation within financial communications.

Please note, for this role visa sponsorship cannot be offered.
