THE ROLE:

The account executive role is the foundation for any busy account, this is very much the learning phase of your career, and the AE should be focused on supporting the wider account team to deliver best-in- class PR for our clients. The AE ensures that the day-to-day account administration is covered – from logging coverage to tracking influencer engagement, and generally making sure that everything is where it should be! This is a vital role within the delivery team, helping to maintain professional records of everything we do, as well as learning the ropes of the industry.

As your knowledge builds, account executives (AE and SAE) will have the chance to draft copy, help research new ideas and campaigns, assist with social media for both clients and the agency, and generally assist the wider team in executing everything that Rewired does.
