Account Manager, PR and Communications
London (hybrid) | Full-time
Paragon Strategy is a communications agency working with innovative clients in digital assets, fintech, legal services, and emerging markets. Our work spans media relations, thought leadership, investor communications, and strategic counsel for brands that operate across borders and sectors.
We're looking for an Account Manager, who can take day-to-day ownership of key accounts under senior guidance.
The clients you'd be working on include a fintech company with global ambitions, a private equity firm, an African savings platform preparing for a significant next phase, a global law firm, and a medical technology business. The work is substantive, the clients are serious, and the briefs are genuinely varied.
You'll be expected to manage the day-to-day on your accounts, build strong working relationships with client contacts, and contribute ideas that move the work forward. We're a mid-sized agency where everyone is close to the work.
Key responsibilities
Managing a portfolio of client accounts, serving as a key point of contact for client stakeholders and working closely with senior team members on strategy
Developing and executing PR and communications activity across media relations, thought leadership, and investor communications
Researching and drafting pitches, press releases, op-eds, and feature stories
Coordinating the media interview process from arrangement through to delivery
Overseeing media monitoring and coverage reporting for clients
Drafting agendas, actions, and notes for client calls
Supporting junior team members on their accounts
Must have skills
3-4 years more years of experience in a PR or communications role, ideally with some exposure to managing client relationships directly
Confident and considered in using AI tools, including Claude, to work faster and think more clearly, not as a replacement for judgment
Commercially minded, with a genuine interest in markets, business, and the news agenda that shapes client narratives
Curious about where PR is heading, and comfortable adopting new tools and approaches as the industry changes
A track record of contributing and managing multiple client accounts
Managing, mentoring and training junior team members
Strong writing and editorial judgment
An existing network of relevant media contacts in the MENA region across financial services, technology, or professional services would be an advantage
Strong attention to detail, including spelling, grammar, and proofreading
Experience in the MENA region, fintech PR, legal PR, or private wealth communications would also be an advantage, though not a requirement
Perks
Hybrid work environment with option for fully remote while travelling for extended periods of time.
Learning and Development budget.
This is a role with genuine room to grow. As the agency expands, so does the opportunity to take on more senior client responsibility and shape how the team works.
