Looking for a senior PR role where you can do your best work without the big-city commute?
Viva – an award-winning, employee-owned PR agency – is looking for a Senior Account Manager who’s both strategic and hands-on: a proactive problem-solver, quick thinker and skilled communicator who can lead accounts with confidence, creativity and measurable impact.
You’ll be a natural storyteller and strong copywriter, with experience in either the public sector (education, healthcare, or local government) or manufacturing/defence.

- Write standout content – from press releases and features to thought leadership and digital copy.
- Guide and inspire your team to deliver great work, on time and on budget.
- Spot opportunities, solve challenges and keep things moving (often before you’re asked!)
- Contribute to new business activity, proposals and pitches.
- Play an active role in agency development, bringing ideas and energy to the table.
About you
- A confident communicator with 5+ years’ experience in PR, communications or content marketing – ideally within an agency.
- A proactive self-starter who thrives on variety, pace and responsibility.
- A strong writer who can craft compelling, results-focused copy.
- Experienced in managing senior clients and delivering work to KPIs and deadlines.
- Collaborative, commercially aware and calm under pressure.
- Curious, creative and motivated by making a difference through purposeful work.
- Full UK driving licence.
Why Viva?
- Employee-owned: you’ll have a real stake and a voice in how we grow.
- Purpose-led: we work with clients who make a positive impact, and deliver impact for them.
- Recognised: We’re the CIPR UK Small Agency of the Year 2025, we’re the only Lancashire agency in the Prolific North Top 50 Agencies and hold the Good Business Charter accreditation.
- Balanced: hybrid flexible working, 25 days’ holiday, and a competitive wellbeing package.
- Grounded: based in beautiful Rossendale, with the freedom to do big-city work -minus the city grind.
