Technical Tools

SalesAccount Executive

The Middle East office is based in Abu Dhabi. It is a small, close-knit regional team operating inside a large global network; the agency's scale and specialist resources sit behind a team where every hire has direct, visible impact on client work.

More about the role
Provide flexible, cross-account execution support across the Middle East practice's healthcare and health-travel and financial services client base, moving between accounts based on capacity need rather than sitting fixed on one.
Maintain consistent quality and pace of delivery across multiple concurrent accounts by providing an execution layer that can be deployed where the team needs it most in a given week.

What you’ll do

Research, draft, and manage routine client projects across more than one industry vertical simultaneously (e.g. health and medical travel, and financial services)
Handle day-to-day media inquiries and outreach across whichever account is currently assigned
Develop and pitch stories to relevant trade, business, and consumer media, adapting tone and sourcing rigour to the sector; for example, compliance-aware framing for regulated financial clients, and sensitive sourcing for healthcare and medical content
Draft and review materials (releases, Q&A, pitch notes) to each account's specific editorial standard
Provide continuity across account handovers, briefing quickly on a new account's context, spokespeople, and sensitivities
Support new business proposal development when capacity allows
Maintain account administration (billing, activity reporting) for whichever accounts are currently assigned
Work comfortably in a small, start-up-style team environment, picking up new projects quickly and adjusting to different clients' working styles with minimal ramp-up time
No single fixed reporting line; receives day-to-day direction from whichever account lead they are supporting that week or sprint. Works across the health, travel, and financial services client base.
Works with junior account handlers, internal service departments, external vendors, news media, and other PR and advertising agencies, depending on the account assigned.

Experience that contributes to success

Minimum 2–3 years' agency PR experience
Fluent in English, with confident, comfortable writing skills across different tones and formats
Demonstrated ability to work across sectors without a long ramp-up time — this role rewards adaptability over deep specialism in any one vertical

Strong writing and media relations fundamentals
Comfortable in a small, start-up-style regional team; able to move between different projects and accounts quickly, without extensive process or handholding
Arabic language skills a plus
University degree
Generalist agency experience across at least two of: healthcare/medical, financial services, or travel.
