* Writing high-quality written content – including media releases, digital copy and social media content – ensuring accuracy, tone, and purposeful messaging.
* Monitoring issues relevant to client sectors and providing proactive advice based on policy, media, and local developments.
* Mentoring and line managing Account Executives and/or Apprentices, supporting their development.
* Evaluating the impact of communications activity, interpreting data and recommending next steps.
Your Skills
* Excellent writing, editing, and proofreading skills for varied formats and audiences.
* A confident communicator who can lead client calls and meetings, providing clear, informed advice.
* Strong project and time management skills, with experience managing multiple accounts.
* An interest and understanding of the media, political, and policy landscapes relevant to our clients.
* Ability to analyse communications performance and apply insights for improvement.
* A team player who takes ownership and maintains high standards.
* Commercial awareness, understanding budgets, scopes, and client satisfaction.
