PR job vacancy - public relations account executive.
We have a vacancy for two account executives
to join our Cheshire based team.
The person will work on existing clients as well as helping to
develop new business. We are looking for someone who has an interest
in public relations and the IT industry, is looking for a hands-on
role from day one and wants to make a vital contribution to our
business as we grow and develop.
For the right person, there will be the opportunity to take on
increasing levels of responsibility. We’re a small team so
we need someone with high levels of enthusiasm, a ‘can do’
attitude and no pretensions. A lot of training will be ‘on
the job’ but we also provide more formal training courses
as well through our links with the Bell Pottinger Group.
Our ideal recruit could be a recent graduate or an account exec
with up to one year’s IT PR experience. Ability, aptitude
and attitude are more important than academic qualifications.
Sound interesting? If so, please send your CV with a covering letter
to Chris Warham at cwarham@insightmkt.com
