What we’re all about:

Cavendish is built around talented people who deliver excellent results for our clients.

We are also shortlisted for PR Week’s Best Mid-Sized Consultancy for 2026.

Within Technology we work with a large number of UK and International clients, including Netcompany, Expereo, Freshworks, Infosys, Emergn, BlackLine and Stack Overflow.

We believe in sourcing talent from diverse backgrounds, nurturing a company culture that leads to a strong work life balance, and strengthening it by providing great learning and development opportunities.

What we are looking for:

We are looking for a senior consultant to lead accounts, work on new business and help grow our technology practice. You will have experience working in a PR role within an agency in a client leadership position.

Client experience will be with businesses in the enterprise technology sector, but there may be some broader business and some consumer client work, so a broader portfolio will be considered so long as there is significant tech expertise. Our clients are global, so some experience working across multiple markets is beneficial but not essential. We’re looking for someone who has worked within a high performing team in a commercial environment.

• Outstanding national, technology and emerging media knowledge, not just in terms of relationships but also of how media and influence is continually changing.
• Ability to maintain and grow a valuable portfolio of key clients across the technology sector.
• Strong commercial skills, managing large budgets across multiple territories.
• Drive, commitment and focus on producing work of the highest standard.
• Exceptional workload management and a good team player.
• Excellent analytical and writing skills.
• Ability to think strategically and develop new business proposals as well as client strategies and engagement plans.
• Strong inter-personal skills and the ability to work across client and internal teams to develop strong and lasting relationships with clients and colleagues.

What you’ll need to do:

You’ll be a senior member of our tech team and a lead relationship holder across a portfolio of clients, responsible for the delivery of exceptional programmes and accountable for the effective and profitable delivery of projects.

Your specific duties will include:

• Leading a number of key accounts.
• Supporting and leading the delivery of work including media relations, stakeholder communications and content development.
• Playing a significant role in presentations and pitches.
• Supporting with new business growth across the Technology sector.
• Working with the Directors to analyse the market, develop new offerings and products/services.
• Working in a flexible way to provide support in line with client and new business demands.

What you will get from us:

You’ll have the opportunity to take your career to the next level, working with dynamic, talented people in a fast-paced and expanding organisation. Alongside a competitive salary, we provide extensive training and development opportunities and an industry-leading benefits package including:

• A flexible, hybrid working model.
• Access to mentorship from some of the best minds in the industry
• Industry-leading allocation of paid time off
• Private Medical Insurance
• Regular social and teambuilding events
• Paid time off to volunteer for a charity.
