Job Description

Are you a seasoned PR professional with a pulse on global trends, a flair for luxury, and a passion for pushing creative boundaries? Do you thrive on working with iconic brands and high-profile clients to help them stand out and cut through in a crowded market? Have you been operating at an Account Director / Senior Account Director level for at least a year? If so, this 12 month opportunity with a leading global creative communications agency could be the perfect next step in your career.

About the Role:

As an Account Director, you’ll lead large, complex projects within a world-renowned agency that blends brand advertising, PR, and influence, all fueled by innovative thinking and behavioural science. While your focus will be on PR, you will work hand-in-hand with cross functional teams, to create seamless integrated campaigns, so an ability to build strong relationships, internally and with client stakeholders, is vital.

This isn’t just a UK-focused role; it’s a global one. You’ll be at the forefront of crafting stories that resonate both locally and internationally. Working across prestigious brands, you’ll bring your expertise in strategy, relationship-building, and creative problem-solving to deliver impact that breaks through the noise.

Your Impact:

You’ll work with major global and UK clients, including luxury alcohol brands and a mix of consumer household names. From overseeing influencer campaigns to curating high-profile events, your role is pivotal in connecting brands with culture. Your ability to stay ahead of trends and spot opportunities for brands to engage with consumers in innovative ways will set you apart. Whether it’s tapping into the latest cultural moment or securing a partnership that elevates a brand’s presence, you’re the go-to person for creating influence on a global stage.

What You’ll Bring:

  • Cultural Curator: You’re deeply connected to what’s cool and relevant, particularly in the luxury space. Whether it’s advising on strategic moments or spotting new partnerships, your cultural insight helps brands stay ahead of the curve. You are comfortable and experienced at working with high level talent and influencers.
  • Global Mindset: You have experience working with international brands, understanding the nuances of different markets, and collaborating with cross-agency partners around the world. You’re equally comfortable navigating the UK media landscape as you are delivering global campaigns.
  • Strategic Vision: You understand the big picture and can translate business goals into actionable strategies. Your proven experience in managing high-profile talent and orchestrating press and influencer events demonstrates your ability to bring bold ideas to life.
  • Creative Problem Solver: You’re not afraid to think differently. Whether it’s finding new angles on a brief or improving internal processes, you bring fresh ideas and innovative solutions to the table. Your approach is always focused on delivering exceptional results for clients.

What else is offered?

At this global creative communications agency, they believe in nurturing talent and providing opportunities for growth. Their supportive environment offers flexibility with core working hours and a hybrid model, plus a range of perks designed to help you bring your best self to work. You’ll be part of a team that celebrates diversity and inclusion at every level, with internal groups and initiatives dedicated to fostering a welcoming and equitable workplace.

Whether you’ve worked with luxury brands, handled global campaigns, or are simply ready to bring your unique perspective to a high-energy, creative team, this role is for you. We’re looking for someone who can think globally, act locally, and drive success across every aspect of PR and influence.

If you’re ready to make an impact, we’d love to hear from you. Join us, and help shape the future of creative communications on a global scale.

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.
