• Translate complex client needs into actionable strategies, leveraging market insights and performance data
• Write and edit high-impact content including executive messaging, press materials, bylined articles, and award submissions
• Coordinate and lead media opportunities—securing placements, managing interviews, and helping clients refine messaging
• Collaborate across REQ teams—PR, Creative, Paid Media, Development—to ensure seamless campaign execution
• Coach and mentor junior team members through feedback, training, and professional development
• Monitor budgets, track KPIs, and ensure timely, high-quality deliverables
• Identify opportunities for account growth, upsells, and improved client value

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Public Relations, or a related field
• 5+ years of relevant experience, with 3+ years in Client Services, PR, or Account Management roles
• Demonstrated ability to lead projects, manage budgets, and drive successful client outcomes
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience drafting complex, high-stakes content
• Strong proficiency in digital marketing tools and platforms (Google Analytics, WordPress, Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, etc.)
• Experience across multiple digital marketing channels and comfort with performance metrics and analytics
• Prior experience in media relations or public affairs is a plus
• Comfort working both independently and in a collaborative, cross-functional team environment
