Junior Media Executive (Finance)

Hybrid: 3 days in the office, 2 days WFH. We are a thought leadership agency focused on raising the visibility and profile of companies and their executives. Our mission is to help business leaders build trust with their most important audiences, whether it's customers, investors, journalists, regulators, or future hires. We help them bridge the 'credibility gap' and build influence through smart, insight-driven storytelling.

As a Junior Media Executive, you’ll have the opportunity to work with some of the biggest names in finance, including CEOs, founders, and senior leaders at the forefront of the industry. You'll be pitching their ideas and perspectives into top-tier finance titles, including Financial Times, Bloomberg, and City AM, as well as national newspapers, TV, radio, and high-profile podcasts. Your job is to get their voices into the conversation – and keep them there. This is a high-energy, high-impact role where no two days are the same. You'll be an active part of breaking news, helping to craft sharp pitches, landing stories, and seeing your work in print and on air. If you love the pace of the media and the satisfaction of seeing a story land, this is the role for you.

This is a junior-level role, ideal for someone with around one year of experience in PR or media relations and while experience in finance is a bonus, it is not essential.

The role builds the reputations of business leaders in positive, proactive, and creative ways. We represent a range of clients, including CEOs, entrepreneurs, senior executives, and other leading public figures. Our mission is to help them build influence by shaping the public conversation in their industries. You'll be responsible for securing top-tier media opportunities for our finance clients, ranging from broadsheet quotes to full-length interviews, op-eds, and broadcast appearances. This will involve media monitoring, writing pitches, briefing clients for interviews, and building relationships with key journalists across national, trade, and sector-specific outlets.
