Senior Account Executive
About the role
We are looking for a skilled communications professional to join our US team as a Senior Account Executive (SAE). SAE's have mastered the skills of an AE and have moved on to managing projects, working with a high degree of independence. They have proven experience working on campaigns and programs across various disciplines and are pivotal in the bridging of planning to execution, accomplishing most work with just a 'gut-check' from managers or account leads. Both a project and emerging people manager, the SAE performs day-to-day account work while beginning to oversee others’ work. Confident in communicating directly, clients now recognize the SAE as one of the go-to on the team. An outstanding SAE is equally capable as either an independent operator or project partner—whatever the situation calls for. They’re comfortable initiating and owning key media and deliverables or teaming up with an AC or VP on new initiatives.
What You’ll Need:
- 3-4+ years of experience in Public Relations, Communications, or marketing
- Prior experience within the technology industry (consumer, enterprise, security, etc.) preferred
- Strong writing, editing, research, and verbal communication skills
- A bachelor's degree in communications, journalism, marketing, or related field
- A sense of humor—and the grit to thrive in a fast-paced environment
- Willingness to work 2 days/week from one of our office hubs (San Francisco)
