Public Relations Account Executive

Fully remote

Account Executive - PR

“Advertising is saying that you’re good. PR is other people saying that you’re good.”

This quote by former Apple Exec, Jean-Louis Gassée describes PR in essence. It’s easy to lose ourselves in industry jargon, trends, and news cycles. But ultimately it boils down to only one thing - the stories others will go on to tell.

Reputation management was once reserved for the privileged few. But in the age of social media, everyone has at least a passing awareness of how others are seeing them, as well as how they can influence this.

For those of us already working in PR, this presents interesting challenges. And it's a great opportunity to clarify our true value, avoid complacency, and ensure we’re always growing.

The job:

As an Account Executive at Gold PR, you’ll learn our craft from every angle. From research and information gathering to the art of storytelling and negotiation, right through to understanding how everything links back to psychology.

You’ll be supporting our clientele, concentrated in the fields of politics, tech, media, PR, and marketing.
