Job description

EvolveMKD is seeking a Senior Account Executive for several consumer and professional brands. This person should have experience working with media. This person will be joining a well-established division and will be responsible for overseeing junior team members and day-to-day activity on multiple accounts. This person should have a track record of executing strong media launch and maintenance efforts, as well as strategic public relations initiatives such as events and strategic partnerships. This person will have demonstrated acumen for building client relationships and strong media relationships.

Company Overview

EvolveMKD was founded in 2014 by Megan Driscoll as a 100% independent, female-owned agency with a clear mission: to build something intentional, inclusive, and built to last. Twelve years later, that mission has evolved. What began as a PR and digital marketing agency has grown into a Brand Relations agency, exclusively dedicated to helping clients in healthcare, aesthetics, and biotech build and protect the relationships that matter most — the practitioners who recommend a brand, the consumers who champion it, and the media who keep coming back.

We thrive from our restless discontent, constantly looking to elevate our work and our skill set. We're building out a team of high performers with an uncommon level of modesty. Because no one is above the work. From every level, anyone can and does jump in. You'll never hear us say "That's not my job." We live and die off our credo, Be Kind, Don't Suck.

We’re proud to be certified as a Great Place to Work for the ninth year in a row. Additional Agency honors include: 2026 Quantum Certified Workplace, 2026 Digiday Top Workplaces and 2026 Inc.
