The Company:

• Role to sit in the London team.
• Manage two resourcing pools – Healthcare and Tech PR Departments (Approx. 120 people) Both are resource pools of PR client service accounts professionals NOT creatives and the way these teams are resources is different to creative.

• Senior Accounts people doing a lot of resourcing for their departments or Ops/resource candidates with accounts management backgrounds could also be good to consider as skills are transferable
• Solid stakeholder management experience is a must – looking for gravitas, can hold their own when needed whilst also being great at building trusted relationships with client leads and other stakeholders
