JOB TITLE: Account Manager (Communications)
REPORTING TO: Agency Founders (day-to-day reporting to PR Director)
About Us:
RAVEN is a talent-first brand-building agency operating across Fashion, Beauty, Arts, Entertainment and adjacent cultural spaces. We work with brands and collaborators who don’t just participate in culture, but help shape it.
Our work sits at the intersection of communications, talent, community and creative strategy. While we excel at traditional PR and talent marketing, our true differentiation lies in what sits beyond those disciplines: cultural intelligence, instinctive casting, meaningful community engagement, and ideas that travel naturally through real worlds - not just media plans.
RAVEN is part of the Miroma Group, a global collective of agencies operating across 35 markets, but our spirit is proudly independent, deeply plugged-in, and rooted in London’s creative landscape.
About the Role:
We’re looking for a bright, enthusiastic and driven Account Manager to join our growing team and work across a varied selection of fashion and lifestyle clients - ranging from the industry’s most talked-about upcoming designers to a number of the biggest sports brands, category-leading commercial brands, and luxury retailers in the world. We’re looking for someone who demonstrably understands what our agency ‘means’, and is passionate about acting as a visible ambassador for RAVEN and for our clients.
This is a role for someone who thrives on the intensity of our industry, who understands that great work often happens outside the 9-to-5. We’re looking for someone hungry, knowledgeable and connected; someone tangibly excited to deliver incredible work.
RAVEN is pleased to offer a flexible working blend, the team comes together in our Central London office to collaborate as needed as well as giving individuals the time to work from home.
