SAM / Account Director
We’re growing, and we need someone to help us do it properly.
This is a player-coach role, not an oversee-from-a-distance one. You’ll lead your own portfolio of household name clients, shape the media strategy, and stay hands-on with delivery, spotting the angle, sharpening the pitch, holding the line when a client’s brief needs pushing back on.
You’ll also have real commercial input. Growing accounts, contributing to new business, helping shape where BF Media goes next. You’ll work directly with the founder, not several layers removed from the decisions that matter.
What you’ll be doing:
• Owning client relationships end to end, as the senior day-to-day contact
• Planning and running campaigns, both domestic and international, utilising a range of tactics
• Briefing and managing spokespeople, from prep through to the interview itself
• Overseeing coverage reporting and making sure clients understand the value of what’s landed, not just the volume
• Managing and developing junior members of the team, sharpening their pitching, writing and client handling
• Spotting opportunities to grow existing accounts and contributing to new business, from first conversation through to proposal
At least 3-5 years’ PR experience, strong media relations instinct, and the confidence to advise clients rather than just service them. Broadcast background is a bonus, not a barrier.
And you’ll need the three C’s. Charismatic, curious, clued in. If you’re not all three, this isn’t for you.
Based in Camden, hybrid. Salary £38k-£48k depending on experience. Start September.
