Overview
Why FleishmanHillard?
We have been named PRWeek's Global Agency of the Year and Best Places to Work; a "Standout Agency" on Advertising Age's A-List; NAFE's "Top 50 Companies for Executive Women" for six years running; and among our firm's award-winning work we've taken home 5 Lions in the past two years at the Cannes International Festival of Creativity.
We are committed to creating an inclusive and equitable working environment for everyone. As the only PR Agency awarded EY's National Equality Standard (twice!), all applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability or age. Do let us know if you need any adjustments made during the interview process.
The team
Our team is obsessed with exploring and articulating the ways in which technology is changing every aspect of the world we live in. Our clients span both business and consumer audiences, but we know that ultimately all people make better decisions when they understand what's involved, who they're buying from and what's at stake - so that's what we help our clients articulate about their business, their brand and their products.
Our client portfolio varies from some of the world's largest technology brands to up and coming industry challengers. Whether it's exploring the role of artificial intelligence in modelling the future of healthcare or working with an Oscar-winning cinematographer to raise awareness of the part data storage plays in creating art, our days are always different, and rarely ever dull.
With technology rapidly becoming an inextricable part of every industry, our work spans multiple sectors, from healthcare, financial services, automotive, marketing, entertainment and even law. This variety, along with our belief that the best communications programmes are integrated, mean our team members have the chance to contribute to, and learn from, a whole host of people and practices.
The role
As an Account Director you will be responsible for supporting Directors in driving forward key technology accounts. This includes responsibility for building and maintaining relationships with clients and managing teams to ensure delivery of activity to a consistently high standard. You will also support the Directors in reviewing and driving forward client strategy, developing plans and spotting opportunities for both organic and new client growth.
Key responsibilities:
Exceptional client service Being the day-to-day lead on a portfolio of client accounts. This will involve managing delivery, contributing to strategy and utilizing senior counsel
Ensuring a high standard of work and superior client service, always with an eye to driving the satisfaction that supports client retention and growth
Strategy & creative Be a trusted advisor. Our clients want thought partnership, which means you need to know their issues as well as they do and offer smart strategic thinking to help them stay ahead of issues impacting their business
Media relations, pitching stories and finding creative angles, maintaining relationships with key opinion leaders, media, online influencers and other relevant third-parties
Operations & administration Contributing to the management of client budgets; overseeing the client budget development, tracking, billing and communications
Business development Developing new business through networking and lead generation, responding to external briefs and cross-practice identified opportunities, identifying opportunities for organic growth, and leading proposals and pitches
Helping to shape our broader Technology offering in an enabling environment, where your ideas will really count
Integration Developing integrated campaigns, working with media and digital specialists across the business while leading on activations
Contributing to office, global and regional network initiatives and knowledge sharing
People Inspiring, mentoring and motivating junior team members to build a highly engaged and productive team
Deliver continuous feedback; take every opportunity to be inclusive, provide guidance, counsel and support to colleagues
If you have experience in the above, are eligible to work in the UK and can commute to our Bankside office at least 2 days a week, we'd love to hear from you!
What we offer you: A warm and friendly team with a fantastic portfolio of global and UK clients
A truly global network, the opportunity to be part of multi-market campaigns, regularly working with colleagues across the globe.
Global mobility, a programme of short-term or permanent exchange opportunities, particularly in EMEA or the US.
A strengths-based L&D framework with an in-house coach and development opportunities for career defining work.
Flexibility. We've fully embraced hybrid and flexible working. We have a great office and human contact remains an important element of our culture
Work-life balance, we all work hard but having a life outside work matters to all of us, and we support each other to achieve it.
