Viva PR recruiting for account executive in hybrid role

Viva has a vacancy.

Thanks to a series of new client wins already in 2023, we’ve got a job vacancy here at Viva.
It’s an opportunity to join our award-winning team as an account exec.

We are looking for someone with experience — you’ll either know your way around an agency or a newsroom (or both), with at least a couple of years on your CV.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US…
We’re based in Rawtenstall, but we operate a hybrid mix of office and home working.

Viva was named the north’s best small PR Agency by the CIPR in 2016, 2019 and 2021 and it was handed the 2022 CIPR Mark of Excellence in London.

We’ve also been named PRCA Workplace Champions in recognition of how we look after our people.

Our clients are a mix of engineering, aerospace, public sector, charities and health. It’s more than a job – it’s a way of thinking, a lifestyle, a family.
