Junior PR Executive

Position Responsibilities:
As an integral part of an account team, interns will gain hands-on experience in the day-to-day business of PR/Comms account work. You will experience a comprehensive induction  programme. During your work experience you will be able to attend our regular Open Mind  internal training. It really is a ‘learning-on-the-job’ experience and our mission is that you have a  360o experience, so that when you complete your work experience, you have had sufficient  exposure to decide whether PR/Comms is for you or not.

Internship Responsibilities

• Our aim is to make your work experience as mutually beneficial as possible. You will assume the  role of a Junior Account Executive.
• Interns are placed with the same practice (either Technology or Healthcare) for the length of  their work experience. This allows them to get to know one area of the business more thoroughly, and to establish a working relationship with our team members. Once mutual trust has been  established, the student may, depending on his or her aptitude, be given their own projects to work  on.

About the Organization
We pride ourselves on delivering strategic counsel, consistent creativity and measurable impact for our clients, whilst always contributing to the development of our consultants and the agency. We are an independent, agile agency, and work in a collaborative way. In the knowledge that our greatest asset is our people we are wholly committed to individual training and development underpinned by a dynamic range of benefits which we have adapted to align with today’s remote working.

On-site Supervision and Support
Our internships include 24/7 on-site staff to support students working and living abroad. All students will also report to a supervisor at their internship site. Supervisors provide and oversee daily tasks, introduce the intern to team members, and mentor the intern in organizational agility, skill acquisition, and career readiness. Interns complete a midpoint and final evaluation, and supervisors complete a final evaluation of their interns. All work responsibilities and projects are approved in advance.
