Jobs
Senior Account Executive / Account Manager, music/tech PR
£24,000–£32,000 p.a. + bonus and pension
Name PR, one of the UK’s leading specialist music business PR agencies, are seeking a tech-savvy Senior Account Executive or Account Manager to work with our growing roster of technology clients, which include cloud services, a think tank, app developers and a global licensing agency.
Dependent on your experience and achievements, the role may be offered at either Senior Account Executive or Account Manager level.
You will ideally have substantial PR experience, gained in two posts (or possibly significant experience in one), some of which will have been spent in the music or new media/technology sectors. You should have clearly demonstrable interest in the tech side of the music business. Experience working with trade and business press is highly desirable, as is hands-on experience with social media.
You should be energetic, flexible, reliable and easy-going, and take pride in your attention to detail. You should be a meticulous writer with a proven record of producing engaging and intelligent copy, on message and on deadline. (You will be asked to show examples, and quality of writing will be a major deciding factor in awarding the position.)
The job will involve writing press releases and web copy, liaising with journalists, social media work and advising clients on communications strategy. You must be well-organised and capable of managing your workload without supervision.
As our account portfolio expands the role may involve line management of junior account handling staff. Willingness to do this is highly desirable.
Above all, you will show that you are eager and ready to grow and manage a burgeoning division of a rapidly evolving business.
Please send a CV and covering email with “Music Tech Position” in the subject, explaining how you fit the above criteria and why you would like to work with us to recruitment@namepr.co.uk. We are happy to consider existing projects and flexible working arrangements.
The closing date for applications is 9 am Thursday 22nd September 2011.
Internships
Here at Name we run a permanent internship programme where committed individuals looking to break into the music industry can gain experience of working at one of the UK’s leading music pr agencies serving the independent music sector.
An internship standardly lasts three months and is full-time, with some flexibility possible in the hours to be worked. This is an unpaid position, but we will be able to provide travel and meal expenses.
Ideal candidates will be capable, enthusiastic recent graduates looking for a hands-on introduction to pr and the music industry. Candidates should be energetic, conscientious, reliable and easy-going, and take pride in their attention to detail.
Name’s relatively small size and open-minded approach make this a unique opportunity. The successful candidate will be required to involve themselves in all aspects of the business, guaranteeing not only a varied workload but also an unbeatable introduction to the multi-faceted workings of a dynamic pr agency.
If you are interested, please send CV and brief covering note (in the email) to recruitment@namepr.co.uk.
