This Senior Account Executive co-pilots accounts with account leads and will lead the first drafts of creative work and support the generation of out-of-the-box ideas.
About Us:
Codeword is a communication design agency that helps brands create breakthrough comms, content, and community experiences.
We’re a fast-moving team of writers, editors, designers, strategists, videographers, PR mavens, and even a few traditional marketers.
Our incredible roster of big and small tech clients trust us to launch their startups, run multi-channel campaigns, grow their user bases, and lead comprehensive PR and marketing initiatives. We're storytellers and brand engineers, and we love big ideas that serve a real purpose.
Codeword is a remote-first agency, though we have physical offices in NYC and SF that we won’t make you visit.
About You:
About This Role:
The Senior Account Executive co-pilots accounts with account leads (maximum of 6). You are in the business of providing long-term value to clients, and executing day-to-day account activities that are integral to the health of the program.
You will lead the first drafts of creative work and support the generation of out-of-the-box ideas. You’re ready to start moving into a mentorship role with junior talent, supervising them on client-facing written work.
This is one of the heaviest media relations roles on the PR team with an expectation that you’ll be proactively developing hard-hitting story angles that regularly turn into high-impact media results for clients.
You’re growing your own industry reputation and Rolodex, and love meeting with journalists, influencers, and industry experts. You’re also ready and willing to attend trade shows, conferences, and other events as a representative of Codeword.
Previous experience in the tech (B2B or B2C) and startup worlds is critical, as well as a deep understanding of the shifting earned media landscape and how to measure the value of a PR win.
You’ll thrive if you’re an energetic and nimble self-starter that’s comfortable with shifting timelines and priorities. The right candidate doesn’t shy away from giving or receiving feedback (even to managers), shooting their shot with a crazy idea, or being a media relations advisor to senior executives.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Your Compensation:
People – that's you! – are the heart of our business, and we believe a culture of pay transparency benefits both Codeword and our team members’ careers.
For this role we’re looking to pay $70,000 - $89,000, depending on experience.
Your Benefits:

We aren’t a traditional agency, so we like to hire people who don’t necessarily fit the agency mold or check all the “right” boxes. If you’re on the fence about applying, please do!
