Senior Account Executive

At Splendid we aim for inclusion at every level of our business. We are keen to meet candidates from all backgrounds so please get in touch if we can help you by making any adjustments to our application process.

Splendid Communications is looking to add a Senior Account Executive to the team, working on high-profile consumer clients across PR & Social.

Description: In a world of fast scrolls and short attention spans, shouting louder isn’t a strategy. Real impact comes from knowing how to show up in the moments and conversations that matter to people. At Splendid, we build earned-first ideas that connect with real people, in the places they spend time. We help brands shape stories that people share, that change perceptions, spark actions and drive results. We believe the best brand-building happens when strategy, creativity and delivery are pulling in the same direction. That’s why we created the COUNT framework. It keeps every idea culturally sharp, commercially wired and alive, well beyond the pitch deck. Because conversations that count aren’t coincidental. They’re engineered for impact.

We Care About Equity, diversity and inclusion sit at the core of our agency and our output. We believe broader perspectives build better ideas and actively seek out those voices in our team and through our collaborators. We proudly partner with an award-winning not-for-profit supporting under-represented talent in the industry. We also put action behind our environmental values. As a partner of the World Land Trust, we help protect biodiversity and balance our carbon emissions through the protection of forests, working together with them on a range of sustainable practices with the goal of being carbon balanced.
