SAE, Business Development

Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum. 

At Edelman, we understand diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) transform our colleagues, our company, our clients, and our communities. We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging.

About the Opportunity: Eager. Detail-oriented. Proactive. The ideal US Business Development Senior Account Executive (SAE)embodies these qualities and has a desire to support a team at the forefront of the agency’s offerings. 

The SAE will have a front seat to all things happening at Edelman and will have the chance to work across nearly every offering, specialty, and craft –a fantastic opportunity for someone interested in agency life but not quite sure where they fit within it. We’re excited to bring fresh thinking to our team and welcome individuals from all industries, backgrounds and experiences to apply. A growth mindset, positive outlook and strong writing ability will be key for successful candidates.
