Salary: £22-24k + benefits, depending on experience

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced, confident and media savvy account executive. You will be working across a diverse portfolio of social change clients, supporting the teams with media sell ins, new business research, project administration and more.

We are an award-winning, fast-paced agency that uses creative ideas and smart strategy to help our clients create positive social change. Our clients and their aims are varied, from delivering global sustainability initiatives to changing attitudes and behaviour on issues such as the ageing population, mental health, food and nutrition and responsible business practice. We work with businesses such as Tesco, DP World and KPMG and not-for-profit clients like Alzheimer’s Society, Stroke Association, Breast Cancer Now and Samaritans.

Apart from loving what we do to deliver social good with our clients, we’re committed to doing the same through our own business (we’re a certified B-Corp). We also value our supportive and engaged culture; as an employee-owned business we work hard to give our staff a great work-life balance alongside a fulfilling and challenging career. Not only by gathering together for breakfast and news in the mornings, and offering flexible working and early finish Fridays in the summer, but also through our commitment to developing the careers of all our employees. We value and encourage diversity and difference within Forster and believe that we are a stronger company as a result.

We are looking for bright, intuitive people who show initiative, are natural team players and who want to wow clients and colleagues with inspired ideas. Our ideal candidate will be someone with a minimum of six months experience in an account executive role, with media relations skills, the drive and energy to work across multiple accounts and the confidence to take on a client facing role from the off.

To apply for this role, please send a blind copy of your CV (with your name, contact details and places of education removed) along with something (it could be a cover letter, but we’re communications agency so enjoy a range of media) to and tell us about why you are the perfect fit for us.
