We’re looking for a talented, media-savvy, highly organised Account Executive to join our growing PR team, delivering standout, award-winning campaigns which earn attention for a diverse mix of clients. 

We believe that making positive change for people and the planet is something that every organisation and brand can, and should, be doing.

We want to hear from candidates who have well-rounded communications skills and exceptional organisational and research abilities. Candidates should have a desire to learn and improve, be a dab hand at managing deadlines and be able to turn their hand to whatever is needed to support the team and contribute to the success of client campaigns.

Positive change has been our focus for 25 years and we know that doing it properly requires experience, craft and commitment. That’s why positive change runs through everything we do like a message through a stick of rock.
