An award-winning, employee-owned PR agency in Lancashire is looking for experienced PR professionals at Account Manager, Senior Account Manager and Account Director levels. This is a chance to join a close-knit team doing big-city standard work – minus the city grind.

You’ll be both strategic and hands-on: a proactive problem-solver, quick thinker and skilled communicator who can lead accounts with confidence, creativity and measurable impact.

  • Lead the planning and delivery of multi-channel campaigns – setting clear objectives and demonstrating measurable impact

  • Write standout content – from press releases and features to thought leadership and digital copy

  • Guide and inspire your team to deliver great work, on time and on budget

  • Spot opportunities, solve challenges and keep things moving (often before you’re asked)

  • Contribute to new business activity, proposals and pitches

  • Play an active role in agency development, bringing ideas and energy to the table

About you

  • Experience in PR, communications or content marketing – ideally within an agency

  • Strong writing skills and a track record of delivering results-focused campaigns

  • Confident managing senior clients and delivering work to KPIs and deadlines

  • Proactive, commercially aware and calm under pressure

  • Collaborative, curious and motivated by purposeful work

  • Experience in public sector (education, healthcare, local government) or manufacturing/defence

  • Full UK driving licence

Why this role?

  • Employee-owned structure – you’ll have a real stake and a voice in how the agency grows

  • Purpose-led work with clients who make a positive impact

  • Recognised, award-winning team with strong regional and national profile

  • Hybrid flexible working, 25 days’ holiday and a competitive wellbeing package

  • Based in beautiful Lancashire, with the freedom to do big-city work without the big-city commute
