This is a hands-on role for an established Account Manager or an experienced Senior Account Executive ready to take the next step. You'll take ownership of day-to-day account activity, build strong client relationships and work closely with senior colleagues to develop and deliver proactive communications strategies.

The role

• Build and maintain relationships with entertainment, industry and business journalists, leading proactive media outreach and pitching.

• Draft high-quality press releases, pitches, briefing materials and other communications content.

• Stay abreast of industry developments, bringing relevant intelligence, ideas and opportunities to clients and colleagues.

• Manage account priorities and deadlines, briefing and overseeing junior colleagues while maintaining high standards of delivery.

About you

• Proven PR and communications experience, ideally within film, television, entertainment or a related industry.

• A good understanding of the screen industries, including the key players, industry press, festivals and markets.

• Good media relations experience, ideally with existing relationships across the entertainment trade press.

• Experience developing corporate stories, building company and executive profiles, and identifying communications opportunities beyond individual productions and releases.

• Experience managing day-to-day client relationships and account activity, with the confidence to take ownership and drive delivery.

• Strong writing skills, editorial judgement and an instinct for identifying compelling stories beyond traditional announcements.

• Excellent organisation, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities.

• Experience briefing or supporting junior colleagues.

• A proactive, collaborative approach, sound judgement and the confidence to contribute ideas and recommendations.

We're particularly interested in candidates who combine entertainment industry experience with an understanding of corporate communications, whether gained through corporate PR, studio or production company communications, or broader entertainment publicity.

The opportunity

You'll join a growing corporate team with a diverse portfolio of UK and international clients, taking ownership of accounts and campaigns while developing your expertise alongside experienced senior colleagues.

With opportunities to work across major industry festivals, markets and international platforms, this is a chance to play an important role in the continued growth of Premier's corporate communications offering across film and television.
