Junior Account Manager
PR & Events | Full-time, 5 days a week | 4pm finish on Fridays | Fully remote, UK-wide
About LUYA
LUYA is an independent PR agency specialising in media relations, social media, influencer engagement, and events.
Our client portfolio spans hospitality, retail (with a particular strength in multi-site UK rollouts), property and place, leisure and travel, B2B and manufacturing.
We’re a collective of strategists, communications specialists, media experts, and event curators, all with boots-on-the-ground experience across the UK. Our team is spread throughout the country and unified by a shared purpose: to make brands unmissable.
The Role
We are looking for a Junior Account Manager to step up and take the reins on a portfolio of established hospitality and property accounts. Reporting to a Senior Account Manager and the Agency Director, you will be the daily point of contact for clients and will line manage a small team of Account Executives, ensuring activity is on brief, on time, and to the LUYA standard.
You will lead on PR strategy, media relations, and communications across your accounts, while also managing and attending events as part of LUYA’s wider service offering. You will work alongside our in-house Social Media team and our Influencer/Campaigns Exec on integrated campaigns.
Although the role is remote, working predominantly from home and through Teams, it includes regular onsite client meetings, team meet-ups, and catch-ups in Manchester and London, co-working sessions, and attendance at client events throughout the year.
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.
