Job Description

We’re looking for a smart, organised B2B PR operator, with excellent media relations skills, a passion for technology, and a talent for writing, to join a brilliant, growing communications agency as a Senior Account Executive.

You:

This role will suit someone ambitious and proactive who really loves telling their clients’ stories. You could have a background in journalism or an obsession with technology and how businesses succeed and operate, but ultimately you need to have the intellectual curiosity to get under the skin of the businesses you work for, to get them in front of the journalists that matter most to them. As well as media relations, you will have the opportunity to hone your copywriting skills, aided by the agency’s in-house Content & Editorial specialists.

Most importantly, you need to be proactive and a really great publicist. You should love working with journalists to find opportunities for your clients and have a good sense of what publications are looking for.

The agency is fast paced, so you will also need to excel in managing day-to-day operations and be highly organised.

The agency:

This role is at a multi-award-winning agency specializing in technology, offering comprehensive communications services. The culture is rooted in courage, compassion, curiosity, candor, and commitment – working with big listed technology companies and injecting creativity and a human element into their work for these brands.

Here you’ll have the autonomy to shape your career path, access to extensive training programs, and personalized talent management support. You’ll work with a diverse client base, collaborate across teams, and contribute to an inclusive culture that values innovation and growth.This can’t be stressed enough, the agency has a great culture, and is rapidly growing while retaining a close-knit feel.

The role:

Your responsibilities will encompass managing client relationships, spotting and responding to opportunities,drafting compelling content, and coordinating media interactions.

  • Drive day-to-day operations across multiple client accounts.
  • Proactively secure media opportunities, from interviews to bylines.
  • Engage with higher-tier media outlets, expanding visibility for clients.
  • Provide strategic consultancy to clients, building strong partnerships.
  • Craft well-thought-out written materials, including briefs and opinion pieces.
  • Collaborate with junior team members, ensuring their growth and success.
  • Establish solid relationships with media contacts across various sectors.
  • Contribute to agency culture and support internal initiatives.
  • Actively participate in ongoing learning and development opportunities.

The clients:

The clients for this role include some of the biggest technology companies in the world, as well as up and coming disruptors, and they encompass really diverse fields.

Each company represents excellence in their respective sectors, driving innovation and efficiency across industries; whether it’s pioneering cutting-edge software solutions in things like 3D design and engineering, leading the way in cloud and cybersecurity processes or even providing AI-powered advanced learning and development platforms.

Most live beneath the service of things we take for granted, so there is often a really interesting human interest story to tell, as well as the business one.

What next?

If this sounds like you, and you’re ready to take your career to the next level with like minded individuals at an award winning technology PR agency with a great culture, apply now.

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.
