PR & Social Media Account Executive Remote
Job description
Honest Communications: PR & Social Media Account Executive
Remote working available
Salary: £18,000 to £23,000 p/a based upon experience
Are you a passionate and talented Account Executive looking to join a young, growing agency with flexible working, amazing clients that do wonderful things, and endless opportunities to grow?
Then we should talk!
Things at Honest never stand still so we’re always on the lookout for new talent who can bring something special to the team. In the past 12 months, both our team and our portfolio of clients has grown significantly, and we’re not showing any signs of slowing down!
Due to this continued growth, and even more in the pipeline, we’re looking for a PR and social media account executive to join the team.
If you’re interested, say hello to tell us about yourself, what you’re looking for and what you can bring to the Honest table.
We also currently have a vacancy for an Account Manager so if you think you’re not quite right for the AE position, or are perhaps on the cusp of the next step, then we’d still love to hear from you.
Honest Perks
· Flexible working (core hours of 10 til 3, with flexitime around this)
· Up to 32 days, including a day off for your birthday, Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve and even a recharge day for when you just fancy a day on the sofa!
· Wellbeing scheme
· Generous new business incentives and bonuses
· Pension scheme
· Training opportunities and career development
· Mobile phone and laptop
· Regular pizza, cake and lunches
· A constantly brewing coffee pot because life is too short for instant.
It’s just as important to us that we focus on our team as well as our clients and we do all that we can to make working at Honest as enjoyable as possible. We want you to be proud of where you work, and truly become part of the team in a role that has big potential for the future.
We appreciate that working in the fast-paced PR and social media world can be tiring and life in front of a screen can take its toll, so each team member has a wellbeing budget to spend on relaxing outside of work. From taking up yoga to buying new walking boots, or even a subscription to a mediation app – we’ll help cover the costs.
Personal and career development is really important at Honest and you’ll have at least two days each month to upskill in an area you’re keen to learn more about. We also take it in turns to share what we’ve learned with the rest of the team in a monthly knowledge share.
WFH? Hybrid? We’re easy
We’re loving hybrid working and most weeks we’re in the office in Derby for two days and then the rest of the time is WFH. It gives us a nice mix of seeing each other in person for a natter, but then time to crack on without distractions and to be productive too.
We’re pretty flexible on this though so if you’d like to be in the office more, or less, then we’re open to options!
We also don’t want location to be a barrier so are considering candidates from anywhere in the UK for this position. We’d rather have the best skills and team possible, being local isn’t a key factor! Travel to occasional client meetings will be required but apart from that you can work remotely as much as you like.
What we’re looking for
· At least one year of account executive experience in a PR agency – this is a key one!
· Drive to jump in feet first on day one and be part of the team
· A dedicated, passionate and committed work ethic (but knowing when to stop and have fun too!)
· Excellent writing skills and a strong eye for detail
· Experience of writing press releases and liaising with media
· Experience of using social media platforms for brands
· Impeccable time management, phenomenal workload prioritising abilities and impressive organisation skills
· A love of to-do lists, and a deep understanding of the sense of satisfaction you get from adding something you’ve already done purely to cross it off straight away
· Ability to whizz your way around an Excel and PowerPoint
· Exceptional levels of attention to detail
· Most importantly, someone friendly, sociable and able to work in a small team.
What you’ll be up to
· Supporting the account directors and managers with running an array of lovely client accounts across PR and social media
· Writing press releases, blogs, copy and social media posts
· Issuing press releases
· Responding to journalists’ enquiries
· Playing a big part in the running of our clients’ social media accounts, including creating graphics, posting, engaging with followers and outreach to other accounts
· Scheduling social media content
· Spotting the best influencers to be working with
· Monitoring, logging and analysing media coverage
· Tracking social media results and insights
· Creating reports and devolving into results and trends to help activity evolve
· Creating, managing and updating media lists
· Researching opportunities
· Liaising with clients and contributing to meetings
· Supporting the marketing and development of Honest Communications
· Keeping abreast of current PR and social media trends and tools
