Description
LaunchSquad helps innovative brands tell their stories. Since 2000, we’ve partnered with leading technology, consumer lifestyle, and media companies to create integrated earned, owned, and digital programs that build awareness and drive growth.
We’re looking for an Account Executive to play a critical role in executing integrated media relations, executive communications, and complex technical and digital storytelling programs for innovative companies like Waabi, Prelude Ventures and OnRunning. LaunchSquad has a flexible, hybrid environment. Fully remote or hybrid candidates are welcome to apply.
Account Executives embody a growth mindset, embrace challenges and drive continuous activity on teams. They are active participants on four accounts, responsible for developing new and existing storytelling opportunities for clients. They have experience developing subject matter expertise for complex topics and can quickly dive into learning about new technology products and services.
Account Executives are known for well-researched, structured bylines and thoughtful, concise pitches. They actively build new relationships with key media contacts and find new proactive media opportunities for clients. They develop and write key pieces of thought leadership content for executives. They are well-versed in core PR & communications work, independently drive work forward, and can balance competing priorities and objectives across all client teams. They are developing an understanding of the digital landscape, including social media strategies and influencer marketing campaigns, to amplify brand narratives. Team leaders rely on Account Executives to produce consistent, high-quality results. New teammates rely on Account Executives to share knowledge and guide day-to-day work.
