PR Account Manager (B2B PR agency)
Location: Carshalton, Surrey (hybrid: 2 days office / 3 days home)
Salary: Up to £46,000 (DOE) with a bonus potential of £4k
Are you an experienced PR professional, journalist, or technical writer with a talent for turning complex subjects into compelling content? We're looking for someone who takes genuine pride in producing exceptional work, spots opportunities others miss and becomes a trusted extension of their clients' teams. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
Surrey-based agency
We're looking for a dynamic PR Account Manager to join our high-performing team in Carshalton, Surrey (within the London Borough of Sutton). This is a rare opportunity to join the agency as we recruit a replacement for a valued colleague who is relocating overseas.
Our ideal candidate will be someone who genuinely enjoys getting under the skin of complex subjects and has the curiosity, judgement, and writing ability to become a trusted expert in our clients' businesses.
You'll inherit a portfolio of established accounts and benefit from a comprehensive introduction to them as part of our thorough induction process.
Celebrating our 60th anniversary this year, we hold the PRCA’s Communications Management Standard (CMS) at its highest Platinum tier. It’s a recognised hallmark of excellence in PR & communications, and we are proud to have held this accreditation for longer than any other agency.
The role
Writing is at the heart of this role. You'll be responsible for producing accurate, engaging, and persuasive content on often technical or complex topics, translating specialist knowledge into communications that resonate with media, stakeholders, and target audiences – via technical articles, press releases, case studies, advertorials, newsletters, thought leadership pieces, web copy, video scripts, and both short- and long-form social media posts.
You’ll develop a strong understanding of each client’s products, technology, and brand – ensuring tone, personality, and accuracy are consistent across every channel.
Reporting to our Account Director and Senior Account Director team, you’ll lead day-to-day account delivery, build trusted client relationships, pitch stories that secure high-quality coverage, collaborate with our in-house design team, support social channel growth, attend meetings & shows, and contribute to the successful running of client events.
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.
Hybrid working

Mondays and Wednesdays can be worked from home or the office, and Fridays are fully remote.
You’ll collaborate with talented colleagues who deliver outstanding results for clients, with this role focused primarily on the animal health and veterinary sectors – although as an agency, we also have extensive experience in automotive, aviation, human health, and transport/logistics.
