Account manager at ambitious social change PR agency job in London

We’re on the hunt for an energetic, ideas-generating and media savvy member of the Forster team. We’re looking for an ambitious and experienced account manager with a mature understanding of PR and communications and experience of leading accounts. If you’ve got a passion for PR and big ideas we’d love to hear from you.

Forster Communications is a motivated, fast-paced, specialist agency based in lively London Bridge. We’ve established a strong reputation and won awards for working with our clients to deliver positive social change through bold ideas and smart strategies.

Our work changes behaviour, raises awareness and improves lives.

Now we’re looking to add to our dedicated, core team. We’re offering a varied portfolio and the opportunity to help us shape our culture and continue to deliver positive social impact. We value difference and are actively seeking people from a range of backgrounds and life and career experiences.

We also value our supportive and engaged culture; as an employee-owned business we work hard to give our staff a great work-life balance alongside a fulfilling and challenging career. Not only by gathering together for breakfast and news in the mornings, and offering flexible working and early finish Fridays in the summer, but also through our commitment to developing the careers of all our employees. We value and encourage diversity and difference within Forster and believe that we are a stronger company as a result.

About you:

• You’ll have experience on B2C or B2B campaigns

• Proven results in delivering high impact campaigns

• A proven ability to manage accounts on budget and time whilst delivering stand out work for clients

• You love PR in all its forms and are happy diving in to lead media sell ins, campaign launches and events, and inspiring your teams to achieve great results

• A confident presenter, keen to share ideas and pitch projects internally and to clients

• Have a natural ability for writing compelling content for media and marketing materials

• Inspire confidence with clients as the natural ‘go to’ whenever they need advice, updates or ideas
