About Us
At Pomme, we’re a boutique agency specializing in PR, marketing activations and strategic partnerships. We’re proud to be PRSA’s 2024 & 2025 Small Agency of the Year, celebrating more than twelve years of producing bold, award-winning work for brands we believe in.
We move fast, think big and genuinely enjoy working together. Collaboration is at the heart of how we work. We believe the best ideas can come from anyone in the room, and we’re always willing to roll up our sleeves to bring them to life.
We’re looking for a bold new team member who thrives in an agency environment, is a fast learner and is ready to hit the ground running.
About the Role
As Senior PR Manager, you’ll play a key role in leading client accounts and developing and executing strategic PR campaigns from start to finish. You’ll work across a diverse portfolio of primarily consumer-facing brands, helping turn client goals into compelling stories and memorable campaigns.

We’re looking for someone who understands the pace of agency life and can confidently manage multiple accounts, priorities and deadlines while keeping clients and teammates moving forward. You should be comfortable taking ownership, bringing ideas to the table and jumping in wherever needed to provide support.
