PR Senior Account Executive - Archetype

We are Archetype

Setting the standard for the next generation of global agencies, Archetype partners with category creators and industry leaders to build the world’s most magnetic brands. We are 600 curious and creative individuals in 20 offices around the world that work together knowing that our clients’ success is our success.

Archetype is nothing without the people who drive us forward, so we’re always on the hunt for new creative thinkers, expert problem solvers, passionate storytellers, and all-round good eggs. Together, we’re an agency that values collaborative working alongside autonomy, where flexibility is as important as reliability.

While our presence is global, our local market knowledge drives how we think, operate and deliver in-market, because our clients sit at the heart of everything we do. We celebrate ambition. Curiosity is encouraged. And we value kindness above all else.

About the role

We are looking for a skilled communications professional to join our US team as a Senior Account Executive (SAE). SAE's have mastered the skills of an AE and have moved on to managing projects, working with a high degree of independence. They have proven experience working on campaigns and programs across various disciplines and are pivotal in the bridging of planning to execution, accomplishing most work with just a ‘gut-check’ from managers or account leads. Both a project and emerging people manager, the SAE performs day-to-day account work while beginning to oversee others’ work. Confident in communicating directly, clients now recognize the SAE as one of the go-to on the team. The SAE is understanding how to develop communication plans, handle complex situations with clients and other stakeholders, and act as a strategic counselor.
