Junior Account Executive, UK Public Affairs

2 weeks ago


London, Greater London, United Kingdom FleishmanHillard Full time

We're currently looking for a Junior Account Executive to join our award-winning Public Affairs team. Offered as an initial 12-month contract with the opportunity for a permanent role at the end of the duration.

Our brilliant team includes consultants who have worked at the highest levels of government, brilliant campaigners, those with deep sector expertise and (our clients say) some of the best consultants in the business.

We operate a relatively flat team structure, where every member of our team is expected to take leadership opportunities and contribute actively to the development of our offer and service.

As a Public Affairs team in a large integrated agency, we benefit significantly from our position within one of the few truly global network companies. In Brussels and Washington, we are also market leaders in Public Affairs.

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 Work

At FleishmanHillard, we are reinventing public affairs for the 21st century influence landscape. Our view is clear: effective political influence comes from top-class insight, thoughtful communications strategies, integrated delivery, and creative ideas that will help our clients stand out from the crowd.

We recognise that the days of siloed public affairs are over. Instead, our "complete communications" utilises multichannel influence, including media, social media and digital platforms, alongside traditional engagement methods, for greater influence and impact.

We proudly position ourselves as the go to public affairs agency for clients who want to shape decision maker opinions on critical strategic policy issues, whether global, Europe-wide, national or local.

Your Role

This is an exciting opportunity to work with a range of clients – including some of the world's leading brands across a range of sectors from rail to retail.

You will support multiple client accounts from day one, as a valued member of account teams to keep track of and anticipate relevant political developments, contribute to strategic communications frameworks, monitor and advise on key policy developments, support with political stakeholder engagement and draw on your social and digital skills all of which will help our clients stand out from the crowd and secure the results they are looking for. You will also play a role in supporting the team on new business and marketing efforts to continue to grow the practice and portfolio of clients we have.
