Now in search of our next Account Manager with a focus on b2b and tech, this could be your opportunity to fuel your career by working with cutting-edge brands pushing boundaries and solving real-world problems.
The role you'll play
Our Account Managers can expect to get stuck into interesting integrated communications campaigns, craft stories for wide-reaching channels, mentor junior team members and partner directly with founders and CEOs — all while gaining guidance, direction and learning opportunities from a supportive senior team.
With a knack for keeping campaigns humming and a hub of knowledge when it comes to the media, particularly in the tech arena, you’ll be right at home leveraging your media contacts to secure opportunities and sharing your expertise with clients and teams.
Beyond the client work, you will have access to strong mentorship, learning and development, career growth and a great team culture. As we like to say: we take our work seriously but not ourselves!
To be successful in securing this role, you will need to:
Have 4+ years experience in PR & communications, preferably at a PR agency
Be excited by innovative b2b tech brands that are shaking up industries - and want to help tell their stories to the world
Have a mix of skills; be it media relations, social media, influencer programs, content, events, activations, corporate communications, crisis management or stakeholder engagement
Be an awesome campaign manager, with an ability to juggle multiple tasks and priorities and keep everything moving in the right direction
Have high EQ. We're a team-first company!
