The job
AS we celebrate our tenth anniversary, our award-winning drinks marketing agency, Steely Fox is looking for an accomplished account director with proven PR experience, drinks industry knowledge and digital awareness to join the team in Edinburgh.
As well as lots of exciting work on the go, we’re brewing up cunning plans for the next decade and looking for someone exceptional to join us on this next stage of our journey.
The role
As account director, you will be a cool, calm and collected leader who inspires the team, impresses our clients and drives high standards across the business.
You will have strong experience in PR and a good awareness of the media landscape, and bring a digital mindset to the agency to steer our portfolio of projects and team to award-winning greatness.
In doing so, you will strengthen client relationships through your strategic insight and direction. You will understand the client’s needs, and have the ability and gravitas to advise and add value to the client’s business. Clients will see you as a strategic partner.
You will also help grow the business by enhancing our digital services and by bringing in new business, through growing existing work organically and by attracting new clients.
You will have responsibility for the management of the team in Edinburgh, and a cross-office role, ensuring everyone performs their roles efficiently and effectively.
Key skills
The candidate we’re looking for will tick lots of these boxes:
* Strong PR experience and understanding of the media landscape;
* Drinks experience – as we specialise in working with brave drinks brands, a knowledge of, and passion for, this industry is important;
* Digital awareness – a proven understanding of the digital landscape;
* Calm and positive can-do attitude – we’re looking for an experienced and trusted figure who can guide work, clients, collaborators and our team smoothly through the sometimes choppy waters of a project’s journey;
