Account Executive, PR

Codeword is an agency of creative problem solvers who believe marketing doesn’t have to suck.

We are a fast-growing, fast-moving team of writers, editors, designers, strategists, videographers, PR mavens, and even a few traditional marketers. We have an incredible roster of big and small tech clients for whom we manage editorial and social channels, develop smart marketing strategies, drive news coverage, and create big ideas.

Codeword is a remote-first agency, though we have physical offices in NYC, SF, and SLC that we won’t make you visit.

This Account Executive will report to VP Liv Allen (who’s amazing), and will be a key player in executing our strategic PR programs. You’ll support the day-to-day operations for a broad portfolio of clients (on no more than 6 though), playing a critical role in upholding excellence and delivery of industry-leading PR results.

An Account Executive benefits from a healthy dose of curiosity, as you’ll be trendspotting and researching across your client industries. You’ll complete the first drafts of creative work, press materials and support the generation of out-of-the-box ideas.

You’ll hone your skills in written and verbal client communication, as well as heavily support account management deliverables that help our programs run efficiently and effectively.

This is one of the heaviest media relations roles on the PR team with an expectation that you’ll be proactively developing hard-hitting story angles that regularly turn into high-impact media results for clients.

You’re growing your own industry reputation and Rolodex, and feel passionate about meeting with journalists, influencers, and industry experts.

Previous experience in the tech (B2B or B2C) and startup worlds is helpful, as well as a deep understanding of the shifting earned media landscape and how to measure the value of a PR win.

You’ll thrive if you’re an energetic and nimble self-starter that’s comfortable with shifting timelines and priorities. The right candidate doesn’t shy away from receiving or giving feedback (even to managers), shooting their shot with a crazy idea, or raising their hand for a challenge.

People – that's you! – are the heart of our business, and we believe in pay transparency.

Our budget for this role is $60K-$75K, depending on experience.

Equal Opportunity: Codeword provides equal employment opportunity and doesn’t discriminate against employees or applicants because of age, race, color, religion, gender, national origin, veteran status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, or other legally protected class status.

Diversity and Inclusion: Codeword works hard to foster a diverse team and an inclusive workplace where everyone thrives.

We aren’t a traditional agency, so we like to hire people who don’t necessarily fit the agency mold or check all the “right” boxes. If you’re on the fence about applying, please do!
