Senior Account Director, Tech & Start Up PR

The Role:

Strategic Account Leadership: Lead a diverse roster of accounts with total autonomy, ensuring corporate reputation efforts, consumer campaigns, and executive thought leadership programs are executed flawlessly.

Integrated Narrative Development: Architect 360-degree strategies that bridge the gap between traditional media, social-first content, and digital creator ecosystems.

Proactive Client Counsel: Serve as a daily strategic partner for clients, providing unprompted fresh ideas and navigating stressful or complex situations with thoughtful, calm counsel.

Media Mastery: Leverage your extensive network of media contacts at outlets like TechCrunch, WIRED, Forbes, and CNBC to secure impactful placements that influence the bottom line. You are a strategist who still pitches and loves the win.

Content Excellence: Produce sharp, persuasive materials—from complex messaging frameworks and media pitches to awards submissions and executive briefing notes.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with our internal experts in social media, brand integration, and design to deliver holistic campaigns that move at the speed of culture.

Mentorship & Team Coaching: Motivate and coach junior staff, providing the consistent feedback and guidance necessary to drive efficiency and develop the agency’s future leaders.

Growth & Business Development: Contribute to new business proposals and identify organic growth opportunities within your current account roster.

Who You Are:

The Tech Strategist: 10+ years of PR experience with a deep understanding of the VC landscape, emerging tech trends, and corporate communications.

The Nuanced Leader: You possess exceptional situational awareness and strong EQ. You have the executive presence to command a high-stakes meeting, but the humility and judgment to take a step back and empower your team or client to take the lead when necessary.

An Integrated Thinker: You stay on the pulse of social trends and are plugged into real-time conversation on platforms like X. You understand how influencers, digital strategy, and brand partnerships humanize technology and you’re quick to connect the dots between what’s trending and what it means for a client’s business. 

A Skilled & Organized Project Manager: You excel at managing the backend of accounts—from results reporting and budget trackers to complex multi-project timelines—with meticulous detail.

The Player-Coach: You are as comfortable leading a senior-level brainstorm as you are rolling up your sleeves to staff a press event or finalize a media alert.

The High-Performer: You take pride in over-delivering and have an innate curiosity that drives you to explore new industries and creative concepts.
