We’re looking for a PR Account Manager to join us for maternity cover, 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. 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.

Comfortable running your own accounts independently as well as being a team player

A clean UK driving licence for trips to trade shows, client meetings etc paid at £0.55 per mile
