Senior Account Supervisor, Brand - (192196)

Edelman is looking for a Senior Account Supervisor to join our Brand Team in the PNW. This role will work across multiple accounts with a high focus on consumer media relations and story development. The role also includes support of key client campaigns and events, helping to lead an integrated – and often multi-office – team with an ability to manage moving parts and keep deliverables on track.

The ideal candidate is highly proficient and enthusiastic about all aspects of consumer media relations, with the ability to find, develop and tell a strong and engaging story that hooks media – and consumer – interest on behalf of our clients. S/he will be a strong writer, trend spotter and creative brainstormer who isn’t afraid to share ideas and opinions, and s/he will also be a great team player who knows how to link arms and work across practices and disciplines to develop great work together (and have some fun and laughs along the way!). Solid experience working with consumer brands, food, travel/hospitality/retail accounts, and lifestyle/food bloggers is a plus.

This is a great opportunity to advance your experience with top consumer brands and help the team engage media, influencers, and consumers across a variety of channels on behalf of the clients. Not to mention, you’ll be surrounded by really smart (and fun) people, and work in a vibrant office in the heart of downtown.
