ABOUT US

Edelman is a new kind of agency, at the intersection of PR, Advertising, Social, Digital, Earned Media and Experiential. We blur the lines between each medium to create smart, innovative, and powerful work that gets people talking and engaging with brands in new ways. You will be challenged to push convention and your creativity to find modern ways to drive consumer behavior in today's socially charged, digital environment.

We are passionate, unconventional, and driven by a desire to do the best work possible. We get results for our clients and have the trophies to prove it. We are tough on work. We are kind to each other. We also laugh a lot.

The Role

We are looking for an Account Director to join our corporate reputation Energy practice and lead on some of our key clients in the region. You will be responsible for managing relations with the client, identifying opportunities to further grow relations and unlock potential growth, while also managing a team to ensure the day-to-day responsibilities are met. You will join the corporate reputation team and will work closely with the Head of Energy to grow an energy / industrials practice in Edelman ME.

Key Roles and Responsibilities
  • Identifying potential leads and areas of growth within existing clients as well as broader opportunities from a prospecting perspective.
  • Counselling clients confidently on communications marketing including PR, digital, social and content creation.
  • Overseeing client programmes and driving integrated campaigns.
  • Taking responsibility for a portfolio of accounts and managing teams, developing junior team members, and line management responsibilities.
  • Directing media engagement strategy for clients and coaching teams to activate and deliver coverage, leading from the front.
  • Strong understanding of sector landscape - energy and industrials not just on a local level, to help inform clients of best practice, share recommendations, and protect client interests and reputation.
  • Ability to develop accurate commercials and contribute to new business development to grow the Edelman business.
Knowledge and Skills
  • 8 to 10 years' experience working with leading agencies.
  • Experience working with clients in the energy sector is key.
  • Experience working in the corporate sector is a must.
  • Strong knowledge and experience in putting together communication strategies, tactical planning, and being the client lead.
  • Ability to foster strong relations with clients, ultimately ensuring work is complete, delivered on time and earning their trust.
  • Writing skills is a given - ability to offer juniors constructive feedback on how to strengthen content pieces.
  • Selling in those concepts to clients and seeing them through to execution.
What's in it for you?
  • An opportunity to shape your future and work with some of the smartest and most energetic people in the PR industry, who will nurture, challenge and enable you.
  • We offer a hybrid work environment where you can work from home twice a week.
  • Big potential for personal growth, training, and further development of skills.
  • A dynamic, collaborative and inclusive culture, where diversity is embraced – and you are celebrated and appreciated for who you are.
  • A huge variety of virtual learning and development resources to support your personal and professional growth.
