Due to recent client wins, we are looking for a high-flying, ambitious Account Executive to work on a portfolio of accounts, spanning consumer, lifestyle and corporate/b2b. It’s a ‘corpsumer’ role.

• Excellent communicators
• Strong creative writers
• Organised with a pinpoint attention to detail
• A thorough understanding of the UK media
• Able to work across a portfolio of clients and generate widespread media coverage – online, print and broadcast
• Social media savvy
• Passionate about a career in PR
• Team players
• Driven
• Authorised to work in the UK

What you’ll be doing.

• Key support for account teams across 4-5 clients
• Conducting and analysing research
• Writing press content including press releases, features and commentary
• Pitching to media
• Contributing your opinions and ideas to team and agency brainstorms

What you’ll get from us.

As we’re an independent SME agency delivering award-winning results, every single person at Rooster is an essential asset, not only in contributing the necessary skills, creativity and work ethic, but in supporting and encouraging each other. We are committed to your development and will provide regular training and one-to-one mentorship to nurture you through your career at Rooster.

We celebrate the little wins and rally together in the more challenging times. Have a listen of our podcast ‘We are pr.®’ to get to know the team, and check out this blog from recent AE recruit Kat.

The package.

• A competitive salary and benefits package, including Vitality private health cover, a 0% interest employee holiday loan and a one-month sabbatical after five years.
• ‘Hit of the Month’ to recognise stand-out results, whether it’s a successful campaign, landing near-impossible press coverage or winning over a new client, decided by an anonymous vote.
• Usually two socials a year, summer (based on business performance) and Christmas.
• 4pm Friday social drinks.

Where.

Hybrid working between home and our office at The Ministry, an amazing creative workspace with gym, bar, café, terrace, cinema, sound studio and events space.
