About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Set the daily tone and pace for account work — prioritizing objectives, delegating to team members, and holding quality standards across all client deliverables.
Staff accounts appropriately, working with VP/SVP to align workload with team capacity and scope of work.
Own projects from start to finish, working independently of VP/SVP oversight where appropriate.
Serve as a clear, direct communicator across the team — keeping all members aligned, collaborative, and accountable.
Lead high-impact media outreach and own media strategy for assigned accounts, handling the most complex media work while delegating according to team skills and abilities.

Act as the senior day-to-day point of contact for clients — fielding inquiries, offering strategic counsel, and maintaining strong relationships.
Oversee final review and delivery of press releases, blog posts, media pitches, and social media content. Leverage AI tools to accelerate research, media monitoring and outreach, content drafting and client intelligence — and actively develop your fluency with AI as part of the role.
