Job Title: PR Account Executive

Location: Leeds City Centre

Salary: Up to £22k

Type: Full Time

Our client is an award winning, leading UK tech PR agency with international B2B clients. They need ambitious and driven PR Account Executives to join their team, to really make an impact. This is a great opportunity for graduates to take their first step into a PR career - if you've got a strong work ethic, a positive attitude and want to work in a friendly, hard-working team then get in touch!

Job Role

As an AE, you will support multiple accounts, working closely with Account Managers and Directors in order to deliver exceptional client-related work.

  • Writing for PRs, blogs, websites;
  • Social media management;
  • Attending and reporting on meetings;
  • Dispatching PRs;
  • Selling stories into the media;
  • Events and awards research;
  • Liaising with clients in different parts of the world…

These are just some of the jobs you might do on a daily basis (although no two days are ever really the same…)

Based at Leeds Dock in the city's newest tech and media hub, our client offers a range of perks to staff, including:

  • International travel opportunities;
  • CIPR membership/training courses;
  • A 'promote from within' policy;
  • New business rewards and incentives;
  • A 'cycle to work' scheme (enabling staff to buy bikes tax-free);
  • Childcare vouchers;
  • Company away day;
  • Regular social events (recent examples: Tai Chi followed by a picnic in the park, a murder mystery night at Ripley Castle, 'Yorkshire Warrior' mud run…there's currently talk of entering a team for the Leeds Dragon Boat Race this summer!).

This is a great opportunity for the right person to become involved in a dynamic, ambitious and respected agency and to grow their role within it by proving what they can do!
