PR account executive

Salary: £26,000 - £28,000 depending on experience

A full-service communications agency that works with some of the highest profile brands in the UK is looking for an account executive to join its team.

At Teamspirit, we’re on a mission. We are a lively, creative bunch of individuals determined to ‘transform the world of finance for the better’. As specialists in financial services, we work with clients to engage and change behaviours: we were the first to use mobile in our sector, the first to use gamification to get millennials to engage with their pensions and have created thought leadership firsts that have made front page news.  

Teamspirit is a full-service communications agency that partners with some of the most exciting financial and professional service businesses in the UK and further afield; from the newest money-saving apps to household names with an international footprint. We work with some of the highest profile brands in the UK, win lots of new business (over 25 new accounts last year) and our client satisfaction scores are some of the highest in the industry. 

We believe in giving our team the tools they need to learn, and allowing you to develop your career in the way that suits you. Whatever you want from your professional future, we can help you transform it for the better.
