You are building a stronger relationship with clients, establishing yourself as a more senior point person who possesses a solid grasp of their business and communications objectives. With that, you are honing your presentation skills with clients and in new business pitches. You are also active outside the walls of agency, regularly participating in professional organizations. As you evolve into this level, you artfully combine your nose for details, deadline-driven approach and high standards for producing results with a new level of creativity in your work and strategy in your thinking.

Key Responsibilities & Experience

• Strong media skills with a proven ability to develop and execute high-impact, creative strategies that capture national media attention for your clients.
• Solid understanding of the media landscape.
• Experience managing paid and unpaid programs and initiatives, demonstrating a strong command of ROI for organic and paid programs, skillfully negotiating and overseeing contracts.

• Serve as an inspiring role model, igniting the growth of junior staff, helping them refine their skills and take on new challenges so they are poised for promotion.

Qualifications

• 3-4 years of PR experience, preferably in an agency setting.
• Proven ability to build relationships with media and secure earned media coverage.

• Experience supporting and executing media relations initiatives and activations.
• Collaborative team player with a proactive mindset, strong communication skills, and the ability to adapt to evolving client needs.

Reaching the next level of Account Supervisor requires an ability to contribute creative ideas and a compelling writing approach to multi-faceted communications plans. You also demonstrate the maturity and polish to manage difficult situations both internally and externally, knowing how to rally your team when the chips are down and high-five them when great results pour in. Lastly, you are an innovative problem solver who can navigate through challenges and come out with practical, yet smart solutions.
