PR Account Director – B2B Tech

About the agency

A strategic PR and communications agency built to operate differently from the traditional model. Founded by two senior industry leaders, the agency was created with a single vision: to give talented people the freedom to do their best work without sacrificing work-life balance. The team works with a diverse range of clients across enterprise tech, corporate, and innovation sectors, delivering campaigns that drive real business outcomes rather than vanity coverage.

From high-growth startups to leading global tech players to media brands, this agency’s work focuses on strategy, impact, and meaningful results – whether that’s helping a company scale, launching innovation initiatives, or creating campaigns that influence key markets. The team is small, experienced, and hands-on, ensuring every project benefits from senior counsel and strategic thinking. Creativity, autonomy, and partnership with clients are central to how the agency operates.

Benefits & Culture

This agency is a place where flexibility, trust, and work-life balance are real, not performative. The culture empowers people to focus on outcomes rather than presenteeism, choose the projects they work on, and collaborate with a tight-knit, highly experienced team. Benefits include:

• 20 days annual leave
• Hybrid working – 2 office days p/w
• Work From Anywhere policy
• External training opportunities
• Access to bonuses and regular salary reviews
