An award-winning strategic communications consultancy is looking for a commercially minded Senior Account Manager or Account Director to join its high-performing Financial Services team.

This team advises some of the most talked-about brands across fintech, payments, banking, insurance and sustainable finance — helping clients build reputation, navigate change and create campaigns that shape industry conversations.

This is an opportunity to work with some of the most ambitious and fast-evolving brands in financial services — from disruptive fintechs and digital payments businesses to established banks, insurers and sustainable finance organisations.

The client portfolio includes household financial brands, high-growth fintechs and purpose-led businesses operating at the forefront of innovation, consumer finance and ESG. The team is known for delivering reputation-led campaigns that sit at the intersection of corporate communications, media relations, policy, digital and behavioural insight.

The agency has built a strong reputation advising organisations navigating transformation, regulatory scrutiny, innovation and rapid growth. Its client work regularly shapes national conversations across consumer finance, fintech, payments, ESG, wealth, insurance and emerging financial technologies.

The Role

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys being at the centre of fast-moving client accounts and who can confidently operate as both a strategic adviser and hands-on media operator.

You’ll lead integrated communications programmes for a portfolio of financial services clients, managing senior client relationships while helping to drive standout media campaigns and thought leadership activity.

You will also play an important role internally — supporting team development, contributing to new business growth and helping shape creative campaign ideas that cut through increasingly crowded financial and fintech narratives.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Acting as the day-to-day lead across a portfolio of financial services and fintech accounts

• Developing strategic media narratives tied to business growth, reputation and industry trends

• Driving proactive media engagement across national, business, broadcast and trade press

• Building campaigns around key themes including fintech innovation, digital transformation, regulation, ESG, consumer trust and financial inclusion

• Advising senior stakeholders and spokespersons on media positioning and reputation management

• Managing integrated campaigns across earned, owned and digital channels

• Identifying reactive and issues-led opportunities within the news agenda

• Supporting and mentoring junior team members

• Contributing to agency growth through pitches, proposals and new business development

What They’re Looking For

• Strong agency or in-house communications experience within financial services, fintech or corporate communications

• Excellent knowledge of the UK financial and business media landscape

• Strong journalist relationships across national, broadcast and trade media

• Experience advising clients on corporate positioning, reputation management and executive profiling

• Ability to identify commercially relevant stories and turn complex industry topics into compelling media narratives

• Confidence managing multiple stakeholders and fast-paced accounts simultaneously

• A genuine interest in how financial services is evolving across fintech, payments, wealth, insurance, sustainable finance and digital assets

• Previous experience working with fintech, crypto or digital asset clients would be highly advantageous

The Environment

• Hybrid working model with 2–3 days per week in a central London office

• Collaborative, high-performing and entrepreneurial culture

• Strong investment in employee wellbeing, development and progression

• Excellent benefits package and flexible working environment

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Exposure to high-profile, market-shaping financial services and fintech brands

• A genuinely integrated communications environment combining corporate, policy, digital and creative expertise

• Strong progression opportunities within a growing and well-respected team

• Hybrid and flexible working culture

• Competitive salary and benefits package including private healthcare, enhanced holiday allowance and ongoing professional development

• A collaborative, ambitious and entrepreneurial culture where individuals are encouraged to take ownership and make an impact

This is a brilliant opportunity for an ambitious communications professional looking to deepen their expertise in financial services while working on some of the sector’s most interesting and challenging briefs.
