Account Manager, Propel Technology
Propel Technology, a PR and marketing agency based near Banbury, is recruiting a new member to join its team. Our growing company specialises in motorsport and automotive technology, renewable heating sectors and research, offering many different services from high level strategic advice to the design and implementation of PR and marketing communications programmes.
We are not an ‘arm’s length’ agency; most of our clients see their account manager as an entrenched member of the in-house team, resulting in long term, trusting partnerships. We do whatever it takes to transform our clients' situation, going far beyond the remit of a regular PR agency.
The account manager will have an engineering or technical background, ideally in the automotive or motorsport industry, to reflect the level of understanding required to advise our clients and to handle the specialist media with confidence and credibility. The candidate may have an engineering degree, have worked in a previous engineering role or have worked in another specialist PR, marketing or journalism role.
The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate a commitment to a career in PR as well as an ability to lead projects, formulate plans and create stories and news angles for different technologies. They must be able to write well - for technical blogs, press releases, websites and technical/thought piece articles, for example. They must be well organised in order to co-ordinate the multitude of services we deliver for clients, ranging from managing external graphic designers for creative projects and highlighting media opportunities, to planning events and writing articles.
The account manager will lead the day-to-day operations of three to five accounts, supporting the account director, and assisting other teams as required. It is anticipated that there will be a focus on technologies in automotive, motorsport (including simulator and simulation), tyres and commercial vehicles, as well as on manufacturing processes.
As a small, yet expanding, agency this is a great opportunity for the right person to grow with us and become a senior member of the management team. We are interested to meet candidates with a passion to progress to account director.
