Account ManagementJob Description:
The role
We’re looking for an Account Director who is an all-rounder. You’ll be as comfortable shaping a C-suite narrative as pitching a tier-one business journalist, running a creative brainstorm or managing an account budget. You’ll partner with our Directors to lead day-to-day client delivery and grow the people around you.
What you’ll do
- Strategy and counsel: Turn clients’ business goals into communications strategies grounded in insight and data. Counsel, and challenge where needed, on reputation, policy and regulation (from AI and data to sustainability), and on which cultural moments to join or avoid.
- Earned media and influence: Lead media relations across business, trade, tech and consumer press. Build influence beyond traditional media, including analysts, creators, LinkedIn voices and the sources behind AI-generated answers. Run executive visibility and spokesperson programmes.
- Creative: Brief and work with our Strategy, Creative, Data and Digital teams, pushing for brave, earned-first ideas over safe ones.
- Client leadership: Own day-to-day client relationships and deliver to time, budget and quality. Measure impact against business outcomes, not just coverage. Work across UK, EMEA and global teams.
- Growth and people: Spot organic growth, contribute to new business from strategy to pitching, and coach your team with clear, kind feedback.
What you’ll bring
- Agency experience at Account Director level, or a strong SAM ready to step up, on technology, B2B or corporate accounts
- Earned media results with business, trade and national press, and the relationships to match
- Experience beyond media relations: thought leadership, exec profiling, analyst relations or social
- A working understanding of how policy and regulation affect tech businesses
- Confidence with data, measurement and AI tools
- Commercial skills: scoping, budgeting, forecasting
- Experience managing and developing people
- Excellent writing and editorial judgement
Nice to have: specialist sector experience (AI, fintech, semiconductors, telecoms, HCM tech, cybersecurity), multi-market programmes, public affairs or crisis work, creator-led programmes, and award-winning work you can talk us through.
