You’ll be responsible for supporting and executing corporate media and executive thought leadership strategies across a range of clients while also contributing to the agency’s broader efforts in this space. You must have experience with developing compelling corporate narratives and executive profiles, an understanding of the business media landscape, awareness of SHADOW’s clients in the space (spanning industries including Fashion & Retail, Beauty, CPG, Spirits, Hospitality & more) and a strong sense of how those clients and their executives can best position themselves to their target audiences. This role is client-facing but also central to the evolution and execution of this service offering across the agency. What You Bring: A strategic mindset: You think beyond the press release.

Organization and composure under pressure: You can juggle multiple workstreams with polish and poise. You bring structure to chaos and thrive in fast-paced environments, consistently meeting deadlines and communicating effectively with senior executives. What You’ll Do: Lead client engagement: Serve as a senior partner to clients, offering sharp strategic counsel and trusted execution. You’ll own relationships and lead day-to-day communications, driving progress and impact. Drive media strategy and execution: Lead the development of executive visibility roadmaps, identify and pitch strategic media and speaking opportunities, and act quickly to create or respond to news - not only for your own clients but across the agency.  Manage and multitask: Effectively manage the daily workflow of three to six accounts simultaneously, while also driving consistent results. You’ll communicate account priorities and thoughtfully work in collaboration with others. Elevate the agency’s offering: As a steward of corporate and executive communications within the agency, you’ll help institutionalize best practices, build internal tools, share opportunities, and contribute thought leadership that benefits the agency and our clients alike.   Annual Compensation $90K - $120K (commensurate with experience)   What We Provide:  Medical + dental + vision insurance Generous PTO and paid holidays  Dedicated mental health days  Unlimited sick time Give Back.
