Grayling is one of the longest standing public affairs and public relations agencies in Wales. We are one of the largest communications companies in the world with a network of offices across the world, but at the heart of our ethos is a belief that local expertise is what gives our clients a competitive advantage. Recently we were named 2019 Public Affairs Consultancy of the Year at the SABRE Awards EMEA.

Our team in Cardiff is looking to recruit a new Junior Account Executive to work on several significant client accounts, including for some of the country’s most recognisable organisations (a full list of our clients can be found on the Public Affairs Board website).
