PR Account Manager / Senior Account Executive
Gravity Global is the world’s most awarded marketing consultancy specialising in brands operating in complex markets. Led by strategy, innovation, technology, data and creativity, we create brand-and-demand marketing programmes that drive transformational growth for our clients.
With 14 wholly owned offices across the US, Europe, and APAC, you can develop a truly global career in a rapidly scaling organisation.
We are looking for Account Managers and Senior Account Executives to join our London PR team.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work on a wide variety of brands that are making the biggest impact on the world’s future. And you get to be part of the award-winning work being created to give them the attention they need to grow.
Our clients are operating in complex markets, so we are tasked with influencing multiple decision makers. And while the core work might be B2B there is nearly always a consumer angle or route, so we are open to anyone who has B2B experience, or anyone who has consumer experience that is up for the challenge that B2B PR offers.
The PR team operates from the London office. We work on PR specific briefs as well as integrated marketing campaigns being delivered by the Gravity team so you will be collaborating with colleagues across the UK, in Europe and the US. This is a tremendous opportunity to gain experience of everything from brand strategy, creative, lead generation, performance marketing, SEO, media strategy, digital development.
We are working with clients around the world – some of which have been clients for 20 years. We operate as an extension of their marketing teams and in some cases, Gravity is their marketing team. The PR team prides itself on fostering strong partnerships with clients who in turn value our support whether they are a market leader or challenger brand.
You will also be exposed to a hugely diverse set of industries and people – from the ESG and Sustainability space to Hospitality, Healthcare, Automotive and Aerospace through to Fintech, SaaS, and Manufacturing – and so much more. You will work across multiple accounts and never be pigeon-holed into one area! Indeed, you’ll learn about industries, services, products and technologies you never knew existed.

- Being comfortable with managing and/or supporting account executives – you will be working together to deliver projects, so you’ll be delegating tasks but also sharing your knowledge and experience to support their development and growth
- Flexibility, adaptability and resilience. You’ll be working across multiple projects/clients which means prioritizing and working to tight deadlines, and dealing with last minute request or media opportunities to take advantage of.
- Good communications skills; comfortable presenting, confident at articulating opinions or negotiating, and good at listening to your clients and your colleagues.
- Strategic and pro-active thinker who is commercially-savvy
- A team player who enjoys working collaboratively to deliver great work
- You’ll be confident but personable and enjoy nurturing client relationships
- Comfortable dealing with suppliers/partners including the media to develop paid PR/content partnerships, research companies to develop surveys, PR software providers etc
Key Responsibilities:
