Our clients are primarily within the electronics, robotics, industrial control, and enterprise technology sectors, with a focus on both the Americas and Europe. If you’re an experienced professional looking for a freelance opportunity where your expertise and results are valued, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and join our growing team!

The Role

Account managers manage the PR and marketing for a number of Napier clients, providing advice, developing editor relationships, managing a broad range of marketing projects and ensuring marketing objectives are met. Generally, account managers are responsible for all aspects of the project from strategy and planning, through implementation and execution, to reporting and analysis. This will be achieved through a combination of using resources within the company (e.g. marketing specialists, digital specialists, admins, account directors etc) as well as delivering some of the work themselves. Account managers should also engage with the client and find opportunities to grow their business with Napier.

The Person

There is not a specific type of person that would “ideally” suit this role, and Napier actively seeks out diversity. We are looking for a person who understands a technology-driven industry and a passion to learn. Someone who has a proven track record of securing media coverage in North American and European markets. We will try to identify candidates that we think will enhance the effectiveness and dynamics of Napier as a whole, bringing in new skills, experience and knowledge.

Although we can be flexible on location, the candidate must reside in the USA or Canada.
