Corporate/ Consumer - Account Executive

At Freud Communications, our client portfolio spans a diverse range of industries—from global brands like Danone, Nike, and EY, to impactful initiatives such as You Can Adopt (NHS).

As an Account Executive, you’ll work across a broad and varied portfolio, gaining exposure to multiple sectors and disciplines. This is a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in high-profile campaigns, collaborate with experienced colleagues, and develop a strong understanding of the dynamic work we do and get a great sense of which area of comms you love the most.

This role is ideal for someone stepping into their second position in communications, with at least one year of experience in a similar setting—whether in an agency or an in-house press office team. We’re looking for someone with sharp writing skills, a keen editorial eye, and a proven track record of pitching stories across both traditional and digital media.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with journalists, managing interactions both reactively and proactively
• Consistently pitch compelling stories to national and trade media outlets
• Use digital tools (e.g. Google, Technorati, blog directories) to identify and engage online influencers
• Stay informed on the evolving influencer landscape and its relevance to your clients
• Contribute to new business proposals and pitch development
• Embrace our cornerstones of Love & Work—bringing passion to everything we do and the resilience to see it through. You’ll also be part of a team that values belonging: we collaborate with purpose, connect authentically, embrace diverse perspectives, and support one another.

• Prior experience in consumer or corporate PR, gained in agency or in-house
• Strong writing ability across formats: press releases, reports, statements, and online copy
• Confident handling of media enquiries and proactive sell-ins
• Excellent time management and responsiveness in a fast-paced environment
• Ability to juggle multiple accounts and workstreams with varying demands
• Solid grasp of the daily news agenda and broader industry context
