Location
London (hybrid — Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday in the office)
Contract
Full time ideally but open to discuss
Salary
£40,000 – £46,000 depending on experience
Intelligence. Insight. Integrity. And now, a bigger team.
HERA Communication Strategies is a London-based consultancy working in corporate and financial communications and research, with specialisms in real estate, housebuilding, insurance and legal. Our clients include lenders, housebuilders, insurers, law firms and sector bodies, and we work at the point where commercial reality meets public policy.
Recent client wins mean we're looking for an Account Manager to take genuine ownership of accounts — with the autonomy that comes from working in a small, senior team rather than a layer of a large one.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll actually be doing
- Running client accounts day to day: you'll be the person they call
- Turning client objectives into media strategies that stand up commercially
- Writing and placing thought leadership, comment and reactive commentary
- Building relationships with property, financial and national business journalists
- Advising clients confidently — including when the answer is "I wouldn't"
- Managing and mentoring junior colleagues
- Contributing to new business: proposals, pitches, and spotting the opportunity in conversation
What we're looking for
- Around 3+ years in PR or communications, ideally with corporate, financial, property or B2B experience
- A strong media contact book, or the confidence to build one quickly
- Sharp writing and the judgement to know what a journalist will actually run
- Commercial awareness — you understand our clients' businesses, not just their press releases
- Someone who wants scope and ownership, not a rung on a very tall ladder
