Job Description

This award-winning communications consultancy is seeking a bright, confident and collaborative Account Manager to join their dynamic and values-led team. The agency works across a diverse mix of clients, from high street financial services and investment platforms to consumer-facing brands and major national campaigns. This role offers the chance to lead impactful communications programmes that blend media, content, and influencer engagement.

About the Role

This is a varied Account Manager position, suited to someone who thrives in a fast-paced, creative environment. The successful candidate will take the reins on day-to-day client delivery, manage campaign execution, and bring strategic insight to the table. While experience in financial services communications is a plus, the team is equally keen to meet candidates from consumer, B2B tech, or generalist PR backgrounds, so long as you’re comfortable dipping into FS where needed.

This position is especially well-suited to someone who enjoys the full mix of modern communications – from shaping thought leadership content and social strategy to working with influencers and bringing human interest stories to life.

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing multiple client accounts with confidence and strategic oversight
  • Delivering campaigns that include media relations, LinkedIn content, influencer outreach and creative storytelling
  • Coordinating activity across financial and consumer accounts, including regulated and unregulated sectors
  • Helping shape client strategies and proactively identifying opportunities for growth or profile elevation
  • Producing high-quality, engaging content for use across social, editorial, and client channels
  • Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, journalists, and influencers (including emerging finfluencers)
  • Leading meetings, presenting updates, and offering consultancy to senior stakeholders
  • Supporting junior colleagues with mentoring, training and feedback that fosters high performance and development

What They’re Looking For

  • 2–4 years’ experience in PR or communications (agency or in-house)
  • A natural communicator, comfortable presenting ideas and building trusted relationships
  • Experience working across a variety of channels, including media, social and influencers
  • Interest in (or experience of) working with financial services brands, ideally with an understanding of regulated environments
  • Confident leading content programmes and bringing fresh thinking to client briefs
  • Passionate about diversity, inclusion, and creative storytelling
  • Collaborative by nature, with a proactive approach to problem-solving and client service

Why Apply?

This is a brilliant opportunity for a PR Account Manager looking to step up and take more ownership of creative, strategic work. You’ll be joining a friendly, forward-thinking agency that champions professional development, supports flexible working, and celebrates individuality.

Expect to work with household name brands, be part of high-profile campaigns (including those supporting UK athletes and social impact initiatives), and help shape how regulated industries speak to modern audiences.

The agency also has a firm commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion, so we are really interested in hearing from candidates that offer varied perspectives and welcome applications from, the global majority, diverse backgrounds and minority groups.

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.
