Industry: Public Relations and Communications
Location: Hybrid in New York (1-2x a week in office)
** Must have Public Relations Agency Experience**
What’s my role?
Account Managers are the heart of any client team. They make sure things are done properly, that the team is delivering on campaign plans – short and long term – and that the client is happy. They are organized, thorough, motivating and keep smiling no matter what. The best Account Managers go above and beyond expectations, taking on important supporting roles in new business and agency life and thinking up targeted and creative ideas for their clients. The Account Manager is a role model for their junior staff and is seen as their day-to-day point of contact and ‘go-to’ person for clients. They lead client calls, oversee all client programs and initiatives and know when to escalate or flag something up to leadership when the situation calls for it. As an Account Manager, you may also manage one or more direct reports, helping shape their career and providing guidance for reaching personal and professional goals.
The Ideal Candidate:
• 4-5 years of experience in a PR agency role, with a demonstrated understanding of B2B financial services, technology, and/or fintech
• Excellent client management skills
• Stand-out media relations skills
• Strong written skills and the ability to metabolize complex businesses and turn them into concise and compelling ideas
• Strong interest in current affairs within our markets, and the ability to leverage the news within campaigns to deliver media results
• Self-starter with a strong sense of personal responsibility, while still acting as a team player
