About R. Agency
Headquartered in London with a global reach, R. Agency partners with the world's most innovative brands and visionary founders who are reimagining the world. Founded over a decade ago, we've retained our entrepreneurial spirit while building a diverse team with a unique blend of skills, cultures, and perspectives.
As an independent, founder-led agency, we remain nimble, original, and agile. Our boutique approach enables us to craft bespoke, high touch campaigns that deliver meaningful results and measurable impact.
You will be joining a team of 20 based in London, working on a hybrid model of 3 days in the office and 2 days from home, with flexibility where needed. We value our time together in the office and regularly come together for monthly team lunches, collaborative workshops, and team activities to keep things engaging and connected.
The Role
We're looking for a smart, ambitious and curious person to join our corporate communications team.
This role could suit someone starting out in their career — perhaps a recent graduate looking for their first opportunity in PR — or someone with some agency experience who is ready to take the next step into an Account Executive role.
Most importantly, we're looking for potential. You might already have some experience in PR, communications, journalism or a related field, or you might simply have the curiosity, intelligence and drive to learn quickly and make an impact.
You'll work across a varied portfolio of corporate clients, supporting businesses and founders across sectors including technology, new media, venture capital, healthcare and mobility. You'll get exposure to everything from media relations and corporate profiling to thought leadership, events and strategic communications.
You'll work closely with experienced members of the team, learning how to turn complex business ideas into clear, compelling stories — and how great communications can shape reputation, influence audiences and help ambitious organisations grow.
What You'll Do
- Support the team across a range of corporate and B2B client accounts, helping to deliver thoughtful, high-quality communications work.
- Research clients, industries, news stories and emerging trends to uncover interesting angles and opportunities.
- Help develop compelling stories and narratives from sometimes complex business information.
- Draft press releases, media pitches, briefing documents, social content, bylines and other communications materials.
- Support media outreach and begin building relationships with journalists across business, corporate and trade media.
- Monitor the news and identify opportunities for clients to join relevant conversations.
- Support the team in securing media coverage, thought leadership opportunities, speaking opportunities and events.
- Help prepare for client meetings, brainstorms, media briefings and events.
- Contribute ideas to campaigns and bring a fresh perspective to client challenges.
- Learn how to understand a client's business, audience and objectives — and translate those into effective communications.
- Take increasing ownership of tasks and projects as your experience and confidence grow.
- Work closely with the wider team to deliver excellent work and make sure things get done.

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.
