- Salary £35-45k (full time equivalent), depending on experience.
- Minimum 3 days per week, ideally able to spend time in London office.
We have an exciting opportunity for an energetic, ideas-generating and media savvy account manager / senior account manager to join the Forster team on a freelance contract. Initially six weeks, there is potential for extension and/or permanent placement.
You must be an ambitious PR professional with proven experience of running press offices, writing press releases, media liaison, and digital and social media promotion – backed by outstanding project management and eye for detail.
Corporate PR skills are an advantage – with expectation you will be working with international business media across complex thought leadership topics.
Self-motivation and commitment to excellence are critical. We expect you to be bringing a thirst for knowledge, a fascination for communications and a genuine interest in sustainability – although it is not a problem if you haven’t worked directly in this area before.
We use specialist insights and creative ideas to deliver strategic communications, thought leadership and flagship campaigns. Our clients’ aims vary from delivering global sustainability initiatives to changing behaviour on issues such as mental health, the climate crisis, food, biodiversity and responsible business practice. They include Patagonia, Penguin Random House, BMW Group, War Child, Energy Saving Trust and World Benchmarking Alliance.
Forster Communications is a leading B Corp with 11 Best for the World awards and we’re growing fast. We won Edie Sustainability Consultancy of the Year in 2019 and 2021, with both our Climate Positive Plan and client work recognised.
We value and encourage diversity and difference and believe that we are a stronger company as a result. We offer flexible working hours, 30 days annual holiday (pro rata) plus bank holidays, plus a wide range of wellbeing benefits alongside tailored support to help you build your career. We believe in collaboration and expect anyone joining us to spend at least 50% of their time in the office or with clients.
Full job specifications will be provided following initial conversations.
