Headquartered in London with a global reach, R. Agency partners with the world's most innovative brands and visionary founders who are reimagining the world. Founded over a decade ago, we've retained our entrepreneurial spirit while building a diverse team with a unique blend of skills, cultures, and perspectives.
As an independent, founder-led agency, we remain nimble, original, and agile. Our boutique approach enables us to craft bespoke, high touch campaigns that deliver meaningful results and measurable impact.
The Role
We're looking for an ambitious Account Director ready to step into a fast-paced agency environment and grow their career across a varied corporate client portfolio. You're naturally curious about how organisations operate, the issues shaping business and corporate reputation, and the role communications plays in influencing stakeholders. You want to shape reputations, position senior leaders and deliver strategic communications that cut through and make a meaningful impact.
You’ll work alongside our senior team across a mix of B2B and corporate accounts, supporting fast-growing founder-led businesses that operate in sectors including new media, technology, venture capital, healthcare and mobility. From founder-led and fast-growing businesses to established organisations, you’ll help shape narratives that land in the right media, position founders and leadership teams with authority, and support strategic campaigns that drive impact for clients.
What You'll Do
- Drive day-to-day delivery and strategy across roughly six corporate accounts in partnership with agency Directors.
- Secure high-profile media coverage, founder profiling, and thought leadership across top-tier national, business, and trade media.
- Land strategic panels, keynote speaking slots, and opinion pieces for C-suite executives at major global industry events.
- Draft high-level press materials, op-eds, bylines, and positioning frameworks.
- Serve as a trusted advisor to clients, translating business objectives into sharp comms strategies.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years' experience in PR or communications, agency-side preferred but not essential if you've got the right attitude
- Thrive in a fast-paced environment where things move quickly, bringing a hands-on, can-do mindset and strong initiative
- Ambition and potential over years of experience, we want people who are hungry to learn and grow
- Genuine interest in business, corporate affairs and the issues shaping organisations today—you read the news because you want to, not because you have to.
- Strong writing skills, you can craft clear, compelling narratives from complex information
- A robust network of strategic media relationships that you can leverage for clients
- Client-facing confidence, comfortable in meetings and building trust with senior stakeholders with team support
- Strategic curiosity, you want to understand the "why" behind campaigns, not just execute tactics
What Success Looks Like
- Delivering strong corporate profiling and communications that support clear client business and reputation goals.
- Building trusted relationships with business, corporate and trade media through consistent, strategic engagement.
- Developing strong corporate storytelling skills across complex organisations and leadership teams
- Taking growing ownership of accounts with a clear understanding of client priorities and sector context
- Supporting senior team with strong judgement, prioritisation and proactive thinking
- Becoming a reliable, trusted team member who adds value across both delivery and strategy
Why Join Us?
- Direct exposure to founders, tech pioneers, and senior executives shaping their industries.
- Focus on high-level narrative strategy and corporate reputation, not just transactional execution.
- Clear career progression paths within a fast-moving, independent boutique agency.
