Job Description

Are you a really brilliant Account Manager or PR Manager that wants to take the next step into one of the country’s most prestigious agencies, and work on some of the biggest consumer brands?

If you tend to lead by example and are just as capable of supporting a client strategy, as helping the team generate coverage, then this could be the role for you.

You should have exquisite attention to detail, high standards and be tenacious. Thoughtful yet action oriented – you will live and breathe media and understand all channels of communications. 

You will be the go-to for your client and be apt at building relationships based on trust, the safe pair of hands that makes sure the Account Directors know things will be done on time and that they can leave work to you and don’t need to step in.

You will also take an active role in developing junior members of your team, happy to share your expertise and be someone they look up to and want to do their best for.

The agency is renowned for its’ consumer and impact work, but also straddles the corporate world, so experience managing stakeholders across multiple functions for big brands will be a major plus.

As an agency that regularly contributes to People Like Us and things like the Pay Gap Report, they keenly want to improve diversity in the industry, so would love to see candidates from non-typical backgrounds that offer varied perspectives. They also pay well and offer great benefits.

Your role will cover things like:

  • Be the go-to for your client and leading in regular client meetings
  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues for clients
  • Being the engine room of your accounts, managing and acting as quality control for the day-to-day team and ensuring they’re fulfilling their duties and delivering work and reports on time
  • Drafting, managing and overseeing budget trackers
  • Creation of fee schedules and managing team time to guard against over-servicing
  • Updating the Account Directors and team leads proactively and managing up where necessary
  • Writing press releases, pitches and plans, checking other’s client work
  • Writing media and social strategies
  • Creating supplier briefing documents, NDAs and contracts
  • Contributing to monthly meetings and championing your team
  • Taking in active role in developing junior team members
  • Taking an active role in new business decks and client plans, as well as taking part in pitches
  • Utilising your network of contacts to support press pitches 
  • Managing crisis communications with media and working with senior stakeholders and team members to draft and offer response or comment when necessary
  • Building and managing senior media relationships and stakeholder interviews
  • Writing messaging and talking points for clients and managing briefings

So if you come from a consumer or corpsumer background, don’t get flustered by being busy and are an inspiring and detail focused team leader, please drop us a line.

We will try to get back to as many people as possible, but if you don’t hear from us within one week from sending your application, you unfortunately haven’t been successful this time.

Darain Faraz

Darain’s aversion to confined spaces took root during a fateful screening of ‘Buried,’ a film that immerses its audience in the gripping horror of a man awakening to find himself entombed alive. This intense fear of tight space has left an indelible mark on him. Beyond his mild-claustrophobic tendencies, Darain is also Co-founder of People Like Us, and former Director of Marketing at jobs behemoth LinkedIn internationally. Before his decade+ at LinkedIn, he resided in Australia where he ran comms for WWF’s Earth Hour, and MySpace (remember them?). He’s a regular on Marketing Week + PR Week top 100, has won a raft of industry recognition including the coveted Cannes Lions. But he’s more than his titles and his accolades, he’s a die-hard Kylie Minogue fan too. He has three lively kids and lives in Fiji (yup, you read that right). He also likes to take his shirt off at regular intervals (check out his ‘gram… or better still – don’t).

Mike Levaggi

What could be scarier than being stuck in a toilet cubicle with a wasp nest? Not much for our founder Mike (maybe having his face on a website) but definitely not making our industry fairer. He’s a northerner with Irish and Italian roots. In his 15 years in PR, he’s been a Senior Director of Assembly, head of consumer comms at Snap and a tech & gaming lead at Hope&Glory PR, winning over 50 industry awards. He’s also a former recruiter, the founder of the One Percent diversity initiative and co-founder of the PR Week Pay Gap Project. He’s been called a lot of things, but he’d call himself a problem solver. 

Sheeraz Gulsher

Sheeraz has both a fear and deep fascination of life after death. To face it, he’s taking solace by learning about the origin of world religions and reading the (not so) comforting words of many philosophers. Bit deep, but he’ll be fine, we promise.

Beyond his flirting with existential crises, Sheeraz is co-founder of People Like Us, the award winning non-profit that celebrates and supports professionals from underrepresented backgrounds in journalism, PR and the creative industries. Sheeraz is also an award winning PR professional with over a decade of experience both in-house at Snapchat and Sky, and at agencies including Hope&Glory and PrettyGreen. Sheeraz is a passionate campaigner for equal pay for ethnically diverse working professionals in the UK. He will often mention the one time someone said his celebrity lookalike is Riz Ahmed but in actual fact, he looks more like Bruno Fernandes (minus the sass). Top geezer all round.
