Location: Aberdeen (hybrid, flexible working available)
At Fifth Ring, we help B2B brands Own Their Space. We work with clients in energy, maritime, technology, manufacturing and semiconductors — industries at the heart of global change — and we do it through smart, insight-led communications that earn attention and protect reputation when it matters most. We are looking for a PR Manager to join our award-winning team and lead public relations programmes that move the needle for some of the most respected names in their sectors.
This is a role for someone who can think in strategy and act in the moment. Someone who can shape a year-long campaign and then, when the phone rings, be the calm, clear voice guiding a client through a crisis. If you know how to build a client's reputation and defend it, this is your kind of remit.
Fifth Ring is a place where smart thinking meets bold creativity. We are a certified Great Place to Work — global, collaborative and values-driven. Our core values guide how we work every day: Master our subject. Act with integrity. Dare to be different. Aspire to greatness. Inspire each other.
As PR Manager in Aberdeen, you'll sit at the senior end of a team that takes B2B communications seriously, advising clients across international markets, representing the agency at industry level, and helping shape the reputations of businesses operating in genuinely complex, high-stakes industries.
As PR Manager, you will lead the development and delivery of public relations strategies that add measurable value to our clients' businesses and to ours. You will build and protect client reputations through well-researched account planning, strong media relations and creative campaigns, managing scopes of work, budgets and teams to deliver award-winning results on time.
Crisis and emergency response is central to what makes this role different. You'll provide crisis communications counsel and reactive PR support for our energy-sector clients, joining the emergency response on-call rota (with full training) and working alongside our PR and Crisis Communications Manager to give clients a robust service when the pressure is highest.
You will build trusted relationships with senior client contacts, identify and grow key accounts, and lead the negotiations that keep those relationships strong. You'll represent Fifth Ring at a senior level through networking and industry presentations, support new-business proposals with sharp creative thinking, and help bring inbound and account-based marketing to clients. You'll also coach and mentor the team around you, and contribute to Fifth Ring's own content and thinking.
You will bring solid PR experience spanning strategic campaign planning, media relations, reactive PR and crisis communications, alongside a formal qualification in PR, marketing, journalism or a related field. You have worked in a client-facing environment, you understand the media, and you have agency and management experience behind you.
You are an excellent writer and confident presenter, detail-oriented, commercially aware, and comfortable operating and influencing at a senior level. Experience of the oil and gas industry, emergency response, and B2B marketing will all serve you well here, as will a track record of developing and delivering winning pitches.
