How to Apply for UK Account Manager, Climate

at Antenna Group

🏢 About Antenna Group

Antenna Group specializes exclusively in accelerating sustainable innovations, positioning itself as a purpose-driven agency at the intersection of climate tech and communications. Unlike generalist PR firms, they focus solely on building a clean economy, offering employees the chance to work exclusively on meaningful environmental projects with mission-aligned clients.

About This Role

This UK Account Manager role involves developing integrated communications strategies for climate-focused clients while managing cross-functional teams and budgets. You'll directly influence how clean tech companies are perceived in the market, combining strategic planning with hands-on media outreach and client relationship management in the sustainability sector.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start with a client status call for a clean energy startup, then develop media strategy for a climate tech campaign, coordinate with digital teams on content creation, and end the day drafting a byline article on sustainable mobility trends. Throughout, you'll be balancing project timelines while staying current on UK climate policy developments.

🎯 Who Antenna Group Is Looking For

  • Has 3-5 years of agency experience specifically with B2B climate, energy, or mobility clients (not just general PR)
  • Demonstrates genuine passion for climate technologies through previous work samples or personal projects
  • Shows proven ability to manage integrated campaigns across PR, digital, and creative teams simultaneously
  • Possesses strong strategic thinking combined with excellent writing samples in sustainability topics

📝 Tips for Applying to Antenna Group

Highlight specific climate/energy clients you've worked with previously - name them and describe your contributions

2

Include metrics showing how your communications work impacted client business outcomes (not just media placements)

3

Demonstrate knowledge of UK climate policy or specific clean tech sectors Antenna serves

4

Show examples of integrated campaign work (combining PR, digital, creative) rather than just media relations

5

Reference Antenna's specific client portfolio or case studies to show you've researched their work

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your specific experience with climate/energy/sustainability clients (not just general B2B)', 'Examples of developing integrated communications strategies, not just executing tactics', "How you've managed cross-functional teams and budgets in agency settings", "Your personal interest in climate innovation and why Antenna's mission resonates"]
