Account Director, Social Impact and Public Affairs

You’re a strategic thinker and trusted counselor who excels at building long-term client relationships.

Fluent in internet culture, you’re a voracious consumer of news, compulsively following the conversations shaping politics, the economy, AI, and social and community impact.

You bring a network of media relationships that you can leverage for clients.

You confidently shape and deliver narratives across legacy and emerging media platforms.

Client Leadership: Proven ability to confidently engage with and provide strategic counsel to senior clients, establishing yourself as a knowledgeable advisor.

Media Savvy: A strong network of media contacts that can be leveraged for client relationship-building and pitching, with a track record of delivering successful media campaigns.

Where an employee or prospective employee is paid within this range will depend on, among other factors, actual ranges for current/former employees in the subject position; market considerations; budgetary considerations; tenure and standing with the company (applicable to current employees); as well as the employee’s/applicant’s background, pertinent experience, and qualifications.
