Splendid Communications is Hiring a Freelance PR Senior Account Manager
Splendid Communications, an exciting and passionate PR Communications agency, is looking for a talented Account Manager to join the team.
In a world of fast scrolls and short attention spans, shouting louder isn’t a strategy. Real impact comes from knowing how to show up in the moments and conversations that matter to people.
At Splendid, we build earned-first ideas that connect with real people, in the places they spend time. We help brands shape stories that people share, that change perceptions, spark actions and drive results.
We believe the best brand-building happens when strategy, creativity and delivery are pulling in the same direction.
That’s why we created the COUNT framework. It keeps every idea culturally sharp, commercially wired and alive, well beyond the pitch deck.
Because conversations that count aren’t coincidental. They’re engineered for impact.
About the Role
We are looking for a Freelance PR Senior Account Manager to lead retained and campaign work for high-profile consumer clients, combining client service, creative delivery, media relations, project management, and team leadership.
