Description du poste

Join a bold, fearless team driving real impact through real communication.

Fearey is one of the Pacific Northwest’s most respected and longest-standing independent public relations and strategic communications agencies. For 45 years, we’ve helped companies, nonprofits, and innovators tell their stories powerfully, creatively, and authentically. We work across industries including healthcare, real estate, consumer brands, nonprofits, hospitality, legal, and public affairs, and we’re growing.

We’re looking for a passionate and driven Account Supervisor to join our collaborative team. This is a fast-paced, client-facing role ideal for someone with 5+ years of experience in PR or marketing who thrives on crafting compelling narratives, managing dynamic campaigns, and building strong relationships with both clients and media.

What You'll Do

• Collaborate with senior team members to develop and execute integrated communications strategies across PR, media relations, digital, social, events, and more.
• Be a true utility player on our team: we’re looking for someone that can take a leading role on some account, a supportive account management role on others, and be available to support projects behind-the-scenes when needed.
• Pitch stories and build strong relationships with media, influencers, and other key stakeholders.
• Create high-quality content including press releases, messaging frameworks, media lists, reports, and social copy.
• Support crisis and issues communications efforts when needed with precision, speed, and calm.
• Monitor media coverage and measure campaign success using best-in-class tools and metrics.
• Lead brainstorms, client campaign ideation, and team problem-solving with creativity and an entrepreneurial spirit.
• Stay informed on trends in media, communications, and culture to bring fresh thinking to our work.

What Sets You Apart

• 5+ years of experience in public relations, communications, or integrated marketing
• Experience at a boutique or independent agency handling 6-8 accounts is strongly preferred, but if you’re an in-house all-star, we’re all ears!
• Strong writing and editing skills—you know how to tell a story, tailor a pitch, and make language work hard.
• Experience managing social media or digital campaigns and understanding how they integrate with traditional PR.
• Organized, resourceful, and able to manage multiple projects and deadlines with a positive attitude.
• Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively within a team structure.
• Passionate about clients, their stories, and the power of strategic communication to make a difference.

Why Fearey?

• A legacy of leadership: 45 years of award-winning campaigns and client trust.
• Diverse and meaningful work: Our clients range from health care systems and nonprofits to sports teams and disruptive startups.
• A fearless team culture: Collaborative, supportive, and driven by real communication.
• Growth opportunities: We’re committed to professional development and helping you shape your own path.

Our Seattle-based team works from our office loft in Columbia City, with Tuesdays and Wednesdays as our anchor days in the office. The vibe: Tuesday team lunch in the neighborhood, staying on top of Olympia Coffee’s seasonal menu items, and maximizing our time together. We work from home Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, but are always flexible for client meetings, press events, and on-site needs any day of the week.

Skills / Qualifications

• 5+ yearsof PR or marketing experience

• In-depth understanding of public relations, social media, crisis communication, and issues management
• Excellent written and verbal skills
• 3+ years of demonstrated media relations experience (writing pitches, pitching press, and securing coverage)
• Account management skills, including budget analysis, delegation, and client communications
• Positive and professional attitude and demeanor that lends itself to quality client service
• A committed team player with a dedicated work ethic
• Let’s taco’bout attention to detail. If you have a hot take on Seattle’s best taco or burrito, we’re all ears (to show that you read every last bit of this).

• Ability to drive accounts, stay focused on client results, and think proactively
