About Edelman UK Digital

Edelman UK's Digital team is a central specialist team working across the agency's client portfolio. We partner with sector, corporate, brand, health and public affairs teams to deliver digital-first and web-enabled digital work for clients and internal Edelman teams.

Our work spans social strategy, content planning, platform counsel, paid and organic social, social listening, community management, creator work, analytics, digital reputation, content production workflows and website content.

As a central team, we often work as digital specialists within wider Edelman teams. This means our roles require strong digital craft, commercial awareness, internal collaboration and the ability to move between counsel, project management and hands-on delivery.

We are looking for a Senior Account Manager to join Edelman UK's Digital team.

As part of our central digital specialist team, you'll partner with colleagues across corporate, brand, health and public affairs to deliver social-first and digital communications for some of the world's leading brands and organisations.
 

You will play a key part in delivering integrated, award-winning global campaigns, spanning B2B and B2C communications, with a focus on developing content strategies, supporting thought leadership, creating engaging social content, managing the social presence for brands and executives, and advising clients on how to connect with audiences across the digital ecosystem.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys combining strategic thinking with delivery. You'll lead digital workstreams from planning through delivery, act as a trusted day-to-day advisor to clients and integrated account teams, and help deliver high-quality social and digital programmes that drives measurable impact.

You'll have:

• Experience delivering digital communications and social media programmes, ideally in an agency environment.
• Strong understanding of social platforms, content strategy, community management, paid and organic social, analytics and reporting.
