Vacancy

Following a series of new business wins, we’re looking for a superstar PR and content manager (or senior manager) to work across some of our most technical B2B accounts.

You’ll thrive on getting your head around complex sectors – specifically manufacturing, engineering, logistics and HVAC – and be able to convert that knowledge into great content which captures the attention of a reader. Able to quickly switch between press releases, features, optimised blogs and LinkedIn posts, you’ll be used to producing grammatically perfect, yet captivating, client-ready copy.

Pitching to journalists and convincing them to run your features over anybody else’s will come naturally to you, while your ability to drive awareness, leads and sales for your clients will be what gets you out of bed in the morning.

Client relationships will also be a real strength – you’ll know how to win trust, wow contacts and strike the right balance between confidante and consultant.

A master of organisation, you’ll be used to multi-tasking, thinking creatively, and advising clients, all while mentoring a talented team of executives.

If this sounds like you, please send your CV to joinus@wpragency.co.uk.  For further information, call 0121 456 3004 and ask for Mel Palmer.

Start date: ASAP

Salary: Manager from £32,750. Senior Manager from £38,000.

We are passionate about diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. Our aim is for our team to be representative of society, and we are committed to building a workforce that reflects the clients and communities we serve. We have set a target for the make-up of our team to be reflective of the West Midlands community by 2028. It’s an ambitious commitment – but one we are determined to achieve.

At WPR, we are committed to rewarding brilliant people with brilliant benefits.

We’ll give you the chance to work on some of the UK’s leading brands, work on award-wining campaigns, receive brilliant benefits, a tailored training programme, coaching from industry leaders and a structured progression programme.

In exchange, we ask that you’ll always give your all, go above and beyond for your clients, support your team, produce your best work, attend the office on your team day and play your part in making WPR the best agency we can be.
