Job details:
Paragon Strategy is a communications agency working with innovative clients in digital assets, fintech, legal services, and emerging markets. Our work spans media relations, thought leadership, investor communications, and strategic counsel for brands that operate across borders and sectors.
We're looking for an Account Manager, who can take day-to-day ownership of key accounts under senior guidance.
The clients you'd be working on include a fintech company with global ambitions, a private equity firm, an African savings platform preparing for a significant next phase, a global law firm, and a medical technology business. The work is substantive, the clients are serious, and the briefs are genuinely varied.
You'll be expected to manage the day-to-day on your accounts, build strong working relationships with client contacts, and contribute ideas that move the work forward. We're a mid-sized agency where everyone is close to the work.
Key responsibilities
- Managing a portfolio of client accounts, serving as a key point of contact for client stakeholders and working closely with senior team members on strategy.
- Developing and executing PR and communications activity across media relations, thought leadership, and investor communications.
- Researching and drafting pitches, press releases, op-eds, and feature stories.
- Coordinating the media interview process from arrangement through to delivery.
- Overseeing media monitoring and coverage reporting for clients.
- Drafting agendas, actions, and notes for client calls.
- Supporting junior team members on their accounts.
Must have skills
- 3-4 years more years of experience in a PR or communications role, ideally with some exposure to managing client relationships directly.
- A track record of contributing and managing multiple client accounts.
- Managing, mentoring and training junior team members.
- Strong writing and editorial judgment.
- An existing network of relevant media contacts in the MENA region across financial services, technology, or professional services would be an advantage.
- Strong attention to detail, including spelling, grammar, and proofreading.
- Experience in the MENA region, fintech PR, legal PR, or private wealth communications would also be an advantage, though not a requirement.
If you're looking for a move that gives you real ownership and a bit more interest in the work, we'd like to hear from you.
