Vacancy

Following a series of new business wins, we’re looking for a PR and content executive to join the B2B team at PR Week’s Best Midsize Agency 2026.

Location: Birmingham, UK (hybrid – minimum of two days per week in office)

Salary: Executive from £27,650. Senior executive from £30,000.

Start date: ASAP

Closing date for applications: Fri 20 Nov

Experience is a bonus, but above all else, we’re looking for someone who:

• Thrives on getting their head around complex topics – from climate change to construction, and professional services to packaging
• Can write compelling and captivating – grammatically accurate – copy
• Is a confident communicator, happy to pitch to journalists and build relationships with clients

In exchange, we’ll teach you how to draft press releases, features, optimised blogs and engaging LinkedIn posts – all of which you’ll switch quickly between during your working day.

Securing meaningful media coverage that delivers real value for your clients will be a key responsibility of your role, as will measuring those results and communicating their value – both internally and externally.

Finally, building relationships will be a real strength. You’ll know how to win the trust of your contacts – be it clients, journalists or suppliers – and ensure people want to work with both WPR, and you specifically.

If this sounds like you, send your CV to joinus@wpragency.co.uk or to find out more, call 0121 456 3004 and ask for Mel Palmer.

Please note, we use tools to help us understand how applications are written. As we don’t use AI to create original content, we ask that you don’t either – but we understand that you may wish to use it for some light editing.   

We are passionate about diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. Our aim is for our team to be representative of society, and we are committed to building a workforce that reflects the clients and communities we serve. We have set a target for the make-up of our team to be reflective of the West Midlands community by 2028. It’s an ambitious commitment – but one we are determined to achieve.
