Looking for a senior PR role where you can do your best work without the big-city commute? My client is an Award Winning East Lancashire based employee-owned PR agency looking for a Senior Account Manager who’s both strategic and hands-on: a proactive problem-solver, quick thinker and skilled communicator who can lead accounts with confidence, creativity and measurable impact.
