London, Hybrid - 3 days in the office, 2 days working from home.
We're looking for a PR Account Manager to join our London team. Experience within travel, particularly with North American destinations would be an advantage.
The Person We’re Looking For
You will be a confident organiser and emerging account leader who enjoys taking responsibility for clients, teams and delivery. You are comfortable making recommendations and solving day-to-day problems rather than waiting for someone more senior to provide every answer. You remain calm when priorities change and can keep multiple workstreams moving without losing sight of the wider objective.
You build trusted client relationships and communicate clearly with both clients and colleagues. You enjoy developing junior team members and understand that management is as much about giving others clarity and ownership as it is about ensuring the work is delivered.
You combine strong attention to detail with an increasingly strategic mindset and are commercially aware of how time, resource and scope influence account performance.
