Senior Account Executive- Public Relations

ABOUT THE ROLE

Position: Senior Account Executive, Public Relations

Place: Bengaluru

About Us

Founded in 2017, ON PURPOSE exists to use the power of communications to drive social change in India. It works with clients and organizations in 5 broad areas: Climate Action, Public Health, Education, Gender and Tech4Good.

The Culture We Proudly Offer

More than words. ON PURPOSE has been at the forefront of defining what a progressive workplace looks like. Our focus on building a safe and welcoming workplace for all has led us to innovate with policies like ‘6 days of paid leave for all menstruating employees’; 12 weeks of parental leave for all non-birthing people and a fixed lunch hour that is mentioned in our signatures.

We also have a team of ‘D&I; Ke Gunde’ who are trained to help us challenge our biases and create a more inclusive workplace.

Don’t just take our word for it- In 2025, ON PURPOSE was recognised among the ‘12 Best Agencies in India and South Asia’ by Provoke Media and featured in the exchange4media's PR and Corp Comms Watchlist 2026 (Agencies)’. We've also received multiple honours, including ‘Best Organisation for Women Empowerment’ at the Women Achievers Summit and Awards 2025, as well as ‘Best Culture of the Year’, ‘Best Diversity & Inclusion of the Year’, and ‘PR Team of the Year’ at the Campaign India Awards.

Your Role and Responsibilities

We’re looking for someone who’s going to win our client’s confidence by demonstrating a thorough understanding of the markets in which they operate, how the media works and a diligent approach to delivering flawless documents. To be considered for this role, you’ll need to show us experience in:

- Strategic planning and approach to client deliverables
- Mapping the relevant media universe for our clients




- Writing press releases and other forms of content
- Pitching stories to the media, following up and sharing coverage updates with clients
- Managing documentation related to the client and internal work
- Working with senior team members on converting recent business opportunities

How We’d Expect You To Split Your Time

Very thoughtfully. But here’s an indicative split as a guide:

- Client Relationship Management:40%
- Media Relations: 50%
- New Business Development: 10%

What You’ll Need (must haves for the role) :

- 3 to 5 years’ relevant work experience in sectors like technology, technology led social impact and/or health tech

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Journalism/ Mass Communications/ Public Affairs/ Public Relations
- Experience managing technology or healthcare account portfolios
- Ability to integrate social media into PR plans
- Freshly brewed coffee-making skills. But don't worry, we won't judge you for it.

What You Can Expect From Us

- A safe, yet challenging work environment: As a high-growth company, our team members are regularly tasked with taking on more responsibility than you would typically get at a larger, more established organization.
- An investment in growth and learning:



We’re bringing the best of communication techniques to solve some of India’s most troubling social issues. You’ll learn and grow with us.
- A space to make your own: if you have the talent, ambition and willingness to learn, you’ll most definitely find your own space in communications that you can own and hone.
