Job: Account Manager

Are you an Account Manager/Senior Account Manager with a passion for health, wellness and lifestyle brands?

My client is a north London based independent PR agency. Their client base is interesting and the team is ambitious.

They currently have a need for an Account Manager to work across a portfolio of accounts. The Account Manager will run the consumer PR division and lead the PR outreach across consumer titles and managing a team of three. A black book of lifestyle press contacts is useful as is the ability to take control when dealing with clients.

The ideal candidate will have experience with luxury, lifestyle, health, wellness and fitness accounts; ideally in an agency environment, and will bring great media contacts, enthusiasm and new ideas to this role.

Responsibilities will include:

• Planning, strategy and implementation of PR campaigns across multiple brands
• Media relations outreach
• Researching, managing and implementing joint PR ventures
• Planning and implementing PR events
• Managing budgets for PR projects run on behalf of clients
• Writing press releases, and other press materials and strategy documents
• Managing and overseeing social media strategy, including monitoring social media profiles and generating content on behalf of brands
• Working closely with other members of the team, to share ideas and progress
• New business pitches – formulating and presenting pitches to prospective clients
• Reporting back to clients on the success of projects/campaigns

A team player attitude is essential, but equally, you must also be able to demonstrate that you have the initiative and motivation to lead a team and manage multiple accounts.
