With practices across consumer, corporate and financial, healthcare, CSR and public affairs, all underpinned by PR, design, digital and social capabilities; they truly are a full service agency with an outstanding reputation.

The Role – Account Manager – Crisis & Risk

With the ability to progress rapidly, this growing team aims to create a flat structure - everyone on the team gets involved and there is a fantastic opportunity to learn and observe experienced individuals provide strategic advice.

This role requires an experienced (1-2 years +) crisis practitioner who can hit the ground running and support the team on several retained clients and projects.

Due to the nature of this practice, you will be required to work outside of business hours when crises break.

• Development of bespoke client/sector specific crisis preparedness materials
• Play an integral role during crisis response – material development, client liaison, media liaison and training exercises
• Track industry trends and identify business opportunities for the crisis practice
• Development of blogs and marketing materials which emphasise expertise and advice
• Assist with new business preparation and pitching whilst maintaining prospect contacts
• Keep up to date with the latest social media trends
