The role

The Role

Whistle Ignite, part of the Whistle Group, is seeking a highly capable and confident PR practitioner to take up a central role as one of the company’s lead account managers handling a portfolio of technology accounts.

We’re based in the fizzing, bubbling cauldron of tech innovation in Oxford, where world-class IP spills out of university research. And as a young company, we’re making a name for ourselves as a go-to consultancy for scaling companies on the move.

Our clients are endlessly fascinating, helping to electrify the world, power it with nuclear fusion tech or harnessing AI and quantum computing to power new, exponential ways of doing things.

We want to find somebody excited about trailblazing these frankly amazing companies. But you’ll also need some old school skill sets including competence and enthusiasm to pitch media, knowing how to find a story amid piles of complicated tech and highly capable writing and editorial skills – from drafting long form white papers to storyboarding a social video.

You might be a more experienced AE looking to take a step up, or an AM who wants to broaden their skill set. As we’re small and growing, you can have an transformative impact on our business as an individual. And if you’re on it, we’ll willingly pass on responsibility and rewards, so as much as deliver five star service to our lovely clients, you’ll have the chance to influence our growth – whether business management, client growth, talent and team leadership or helping to evangelise about the agency’s capabilities.
