PR Account Manager
Salary range: £32,000- £38,000 based on experience
We’re looking for a PR Account Manager to join us helping look after some of the best names in outdoor and active lifestyle. We are a six-strong team and the role reports into the Account Director, with regular contact with the MD on new business/pitch work/strategic accounts. As this will initially be maternity cover with a permanent position afterwards, we have factored in a month handover period and you will have the support of a PR Executive who will work alongside you and the wider team.
Our brands sit at the crossover of function and lifestyle, so you’ll need to speak to both markets fluently. You’ll be the main point of contact across key accounts, building trusted relationships with clients and journalists, and bringing existing plans to life.
The Trail Ahead
- Delivering PR campaigns from brief through to coverage and reporting
- Securing strong media coverage across print, online, and social through a strong network of journalist contacts
- Managing brand collaborations with online communities and creators, from initial outreach and gifting through to longer-term partnerships
- Writing press releases, pitches, and social copy

- Managing budgets and timelines across key accounts when required
- Leading client meetings with confidence
- Supporting new business and pitch work, bringing creative ideas to the table

- Using brand guidelines to create artwork for socials and printing
What You’ll Bring
- 5+ years’ experience in B2C PR or marketing
- Comfortable running your own accounts independently as well as being a team player
- Experience managing community and influencer collaborations, or a genuine interest in getting stuck into both
- Confidence with budgets, reporting, and juggling multiple accounts at once
- Proficient in Microsoft and Canva, and happy to learn tools like Kolsquare and Coveragebook
- A clean UK driving licence for trips to trade shows, client meetings etc paid at £0.55 per mile

- Additional day off on your birthday
- Auto-enrolment into our workplace pension scheme (NEST), in line with standard UK requirements
