Our creative and social teams combine editorial expertise, insight and deep platform knowledge to help organisations connect with their audiences and make an impact.

As part of The PA, we share a wider ambition: to be a beacon of trust for news, content and data. We believe trusted, effective communication can build greater understanding, connection and influence.

About the role.

Mediapoint, our media intelligence platform, is part of Hydrogen’s offering.

We’re looking for an experienced and highly organised Senior Account Manager to join our Mediapoint team, managing a varied portfolio of clients and helping them make the most of opportunities across the news agenda.

You’ll need to understand what clients are trying to achieve while also knowing what works editorially – spotting opportunities, challenging or strengthening commentary where needed and helping clients contribute credibly to the conversations that matter.

It’s a fast-moving role for someone who combines excellent client management with strong editorial instincts, commercial awareness and the ability to keep multiple accounts moving at pace.

What you’ll be doing

• Act as the senior day-to-day contact across a portfolio of key client accounts.

• Build trusted relationships with clients, agencies and internal stakeholders.
• Identify opportunities to grow existing accounts through new ideas, services and campaigns.

What we’re looking for

First and foremost, you’ll be an experienced account manager who can build trusted client relationships while operating confidently in a fast-moving, editorial environment.

You’ll bring:

• Strong account management experience within PR, marketing, media, content, publishing or a related environment, ideally at Senior Account Manager level or equivalent.
• Experience managing clients and activity from activation through to delivery.
• A strong understanding of PR, earned media and the UK media landscape.
• Excellent project management and organisational skills, with the ability to keep multiple accounts and priorities moving at once.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Confidence working directly with clients and senior stakeholders.
• The ability to work to tight deadlines without losing sight of accuracy or detail.
• Commercial awareness and an understanding of what makes a successful, long-term client relationship.
• A proactive approach and the confidence to solve problems rather than simply identify them.
• Experience working alongside journalists, editors, creative teams or within a newsroom environment would be a real advantage.

Why join us?

• Combine account management with the world of news – work closely with clients and The PA newsroom to turn corporate expertise into timely, relevant contributions to the news agenda.
