We are seeking an Account Supervisor (PR) to join our Public Relations team.

ROLE:

PR ACCOUNT SUPERVISORS at Carmichael Lynch Relate are responsible for managing client teams, and overseeing projects from planning to execution. As a key client contact and a valuable partner to the account lead, the account supervisor drives much of the day-to-day work of the project – whether that be hands-on executing of media relations or influencer relations, writing and client counsel or by dividing the work with the team and overseeing others’ work. An important function of the account supervisor is to keep driving the project forward and keeping the team informed.

Between developing strategic marketing initiatives, managing client relationships and working closely to integrate with partners, this role will give you the opportunity to be the gatekeeper to a brand’s success in the ever-evolving marketing landscape. An ideal candidate has knowledge and understanding of the integrated marketing mix and the role of storytelling in both consumer and corporate situations.

AREAS OF FOCUS:

• Conduct research to help determine the appropriate public relations approach
• Develop comprehensive, strategic plans to meet client objectives, timing and budget parameters
