PR Account Director

Brief Overview

Let’s face it, agency life isn’t always plain sailing.

Markets change. Industries evolve. Clients come and go. The agencies that stand the test of time are usually the ones that refuse to stand still. That’s exactly what happened here.

We’re moving with one of Manchester’s most respected integrated agencies. A business that’s weathered economic storms, adapted to changing landscapes and continuously reinvented itself along the way. The result is an agency that’s become a genuine success story, trusted by ambitious brands and packed with talented people who simply love what they do.

The opportunity
This isn’t a role for someone who just wants to service accounts. It’s for someone who wants to influence them.

You’ll become a trusted advisor to a portfolio of high-profile B2B clients, helping shape communications strategies, spot opportunities others miss and deliver work that makes a genuine commercial difference. One minute you’ll be helping a technology brand navigate a market challenge. The next you’ll be working with a financial services client on thought leadership, before jumping into a strategy session with colleagues to shape an integrated campaign.

This is a seat at the table role. Clients will value your opinion. Colleagues will lean on your expertise. And you’ll have the freedom to make things happen.

The clients
The work is predominantly B2B, spanning sectors including technology, finance, professional services, and corporate brands. You’ll need know-how in this space. .

These aren’t relationships built overnight. They’re long-standing partnerships earned through consistently high standards, smart thinking and delivering results. That’s why this role suits someone who enjoys getting underneath a client’s business, understanding their challenges and becoming an extension of their team.

You
You’ll probably already be doing your thing in an agency environment but want a bit more freedom & like understanding how businesses work, what keeps stakeholders awake at night and where communications can genuinely move the needle. You know how to manage relationships, provide counsel, challenge constructively and generate ideas that make clients sit forward in their chairs.

In return
Not every agency invests in its people like this one & they’ll help you become the very best version of yourself professionally. The leadership team genuinely care about people’s careers and take pride in promoting from within. Today’s Account Director could easily become tomorrow’s Head of Content, Strategy Lead or Senior Leadership Team member. The opportunities are there for those who want them.

A salary of c50k & perhaps the biggest selling point of all? The people. Ambitious without being arrogant. Talented without shouting about it. Grounded, thoughtful and incredibly supportive. It’s the kind of environment where everyone wants each other to do well, and that’s rarer than it should be.

Sometimes all it takes is finding the right place to grow.
