Job Description

We’re looking for a proactive, detail-driven and media-savvy Senior Account Executive to join a fast-growing PR agency working with some of the UK’s most exciting consumer, corporate and B2B brands.

If you’re a sharp communicator with a can-do attitude and a nose for a good story, this is a brilliant opportunity to grow your career as part of a collaborative, curious and ambitious team.

About the agency
This is a modern, strategically-led PR agency that specialises in smart storytelling and delivering real results. They work with startups, scaleups and challenger brands across sectors – from high-growth consumer names to corporate innovators – and are known for culturally relevant, earned-first campaigns that break through the noise.

Their culture is down-to-earth and genuinely supportive. No politics, no posturing – just a strong, kind team doing thoughtful, impactful work.

About the role
As a Senior Account Executive, you’ll play a key role in the day-to-day running of campaigns. You’ll be pitching to media, drafting content, supporting with events and activations, and working closely with both clients and senior team members to keep activity on track.

This is a hands-on role for someone who loves the buzz of a busy press office and enjoys getting stuck in. You’ll bring energy, initiative, and a readiness to learn, as well as a real enthusiasm for media relations and a sharp eye for what makes a story land.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Securing strong media coverage through smart, consistent pitching and solid journalist relationships
  • Drafting press releases, media briefing documents, social media copy and thought leadership content
  • Supporting with campaign planning, brainstorms, and research
  • Managing key project admin such as coverage tracking, reports and media lists
  • Playing a key role in events and activations, from logistics to on-the-ground delivery
  • Building confidence with clients through regular comms and dependable support
  • Collaborating with team members across accounts and mentoring junior colleagues where needed

You’ll be a good fit if you are:

  • An established Senior Account Executive or an Account Executive ready to step up
  • Confident pitching to media and building journalist relationships
  • A strong, adaptable writer with a feel for tone and audience
  • Interested in both consumer and corporate work – or great at one and keen to learn the other
  • Naturally organised, positive, and unflappable under pressure
  • A team player who’s generous with their time and ideas
  • Curious about culture, business and media – always asking smart questions and pushing things forward

What’s on offer:

  • A genuinely warm, supportive team who value hard work and kindness equally
  • Hybrid working (3 days in office) in a central London location
  • Personal development budget and a structured plan for progression
  • Regular training, coaching and mentorship
  • The chance to do standout PR work with meaningful cultural impact
  • A team committed to inclusion, equity and purpose-driven work

Sound like you?

If you’re ready to build your media skills and campaign experience in a thoughtful, ambitious agency, we’d love to hear from you, whether you’re already in a SAE role or an experienced Account Executive ready for that next step.

We actively encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply. This agency proudly takes part in the PR Week Pay Gap project and is committed to building an inclusive, equitable workplace where everyone can thrive.

Due to the high volume of applications, we will only be able to respond to successful candidates. If you haven’t heard from us within 7 days, unfortunately your application hasn’t been successful on this occasion.

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.
