Senior Account Executive (Corporate)

Boldspace is looking for a Senior Account Executive to join our corporate PR team.

ABOUT BOLDSPACE

Boldspace are a full service creative, brand and PR agency. A significant part of our offering is building and protecting a brand reputations by injecting creativity into corporate affairs.

Because what was enough yesterday is no longer sufficient for today or tomorrow. Stakeholders are more complex and challenging than ever, and society demands better, more responsible brands that are agile to the needs of the communities they serve, while demonstrating long term value creation beyond profit. And they demand this at speed.

A brand's reputation, and that of its leaders, lives and dies by how it chooses to respond and proactively communicate its positive role in society in an engaging, relatable and memorable way.

To build trust that endures requires a new way of thinking; where reputation management is dynamic, data-driven and unashamedly creative.

You will be comfortable managing priorities, communicating clearly and escalating potential issues where needed.

Responsibilities will include media outreach, monitoring coverage, reporting, drafting press materials, supporting thought leadership activity, conducting research and helping coordinate account activity.

You will support proactive and reactive media opportunities and contribute to brainstorms and campaign development.

Requirements

Relevant experience: you will have around 1–3 years’ experience in PR, communications or corporate reputation, ideally within an agency environment. Experience supporting corporate PR or corporate communications accounts is essential.

Corporate communications focus: you will have a strong interest in corporate reputation, business communications and the issues that shape how brands are perceived by stakeholders, media and wider audiences.

Multi-sector interest: you will be excited by the opportunity to work across a variety of sectors and clients, supporting activity across trade, national and international media.

Media relations understanding: you will have a good understanding of media relations fundamentals, including media sell-ins, journalist engagement, news awareness and press office management.

Multi-channel awareness: you will understand that communications extends beyond traditional media relations and be interested in how integrated communications channels work together to support client objectives.

Problem solving & initiative: you will be organised, proactive and solutions-oriented, with the confidence to manage your workload effectively and seek guidance when needed.

Writing: you will be a strong writer with the ability to produce accurate, engaging content across multiple formats, including press releases, comment pieces, media pitches and briefing documents.

Attention to detail: you take pride in producing high quality work and maintaining strong attention to detail across written materials, reporting and account administration.

Team player: you will thrive in a collaborative environment, supporting colleagues and contributing positively to team culture while taking ownership of your own development.

Flexibility & independence: our culture is about getting the job done, not being tied to a traditional 9–5 office routine. We value people who are responsible, adaptable and motivated to contribute to both their own growth and the success of the agency.
