Junior Account Executive, ALEXANDER JAMES RECRUITMENT LTD
Junior PR Account Executive
Brighton, UK | Hybrid (minimum 3 days in office)
Are you a creative graduate with a passion for design, storytelling, and the media? We’re looking for a Junior Account Executive to join our specialist PR agency, working with some of the world’s most exciting and ambitious creative businesses.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone at the start of their PR career ... whether you’ve completed relevant internships, placements, or your first agency role ... and are ready to build hands-on experience in a supportive, ideas-led environment.
The Role
As a Junior Account Executive, you’ll support a small, close‑knit team and gain exposure to international clients from day one. You’ll learn how great PR campaigns are built, while developing your media skills, writing confidence, and client experience.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
