Account Director, B2B Tech

Interdependence

Job Description

Job Description

WHO WE ARE

The PR industry hasn't really changed in fifty years. Relationships, lunches, luck, and a clip report at the end of the month.

Interdependence is rebuilding it from the ground up. Interviewed, our proprietary platform, analyzes 300,000+ stories every day across a network of 250,000 journalists. We turn earned media into something measurable, repeatable, and worth paying for — and apply the same data and discipline across paid, social, content, and brand. Integrated marketing run by one team, on one system, accountable to one result.

Forbes named us one of America's Best PR Agencies. Our 100+ person team works with brands, CMOs, founders, and entrepreneurs across consumer, healthcare, tech, B2B, travel and entertainment.

We move fast. The best argument wins. We hire for sharp thinking, real craft, and ownership from day one. If you want comfortable, this isn't the place. If you want to win, build with us.

THE ROLE

Interdependence is seeking a strategic and entrepreneurial Account Director – B2B Technology to lead high-performing client teams and drive strategic communications programs for enterprise and emerging tech brands. The ideal candidate has deep agency experience, strong business acumen, and a passion for technology storytelling — from SaaS and AI to data infrastructure and cloud innovation.

This role combines hands-on client leadership, strategic planning, and operational management. The Account Director will serve as the senior day-to-day client contact, responsible for delivering measurable outcomes, mentoring account teams, and shaping narratives that elevate our clients' presence in competitive B2B markets.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Client Leadership & Strategic Counsel

  • Serve as senior lead for multiple B2B technology accounts, providing high-level strategy, vision, and counsel.
  • Build trusted partnerships with client executives, understanding business priorities and aligning PR strategies to drive impact.
  • Oversee integrated communications programs, including thought leadership, executive visibility, product storytelling, and industry positioning.
  • Anticipate challenges and provide proactive solutions to ensure long-term client success and retention.

Media Strategy & Thought Leadership

  • Lead development of integrated media relations programs that secure meaningful, business-impacting coverage.
  • Shape executive narratives and messaging frameworks for complex technology stories.
  • Cultivate relationships with top-tier tech, trade, and business media outlets.
  • Oversee production of strategic content including press releases, bylines, and thought leadership articles.

Team Management & Growth

  • Manage and mentor account teams to deliver high-quality work with efficiency and precision.
  • Provide direction, feedback, and guidance to ensure professional growth and career development.
  • Oversee team structure, workflow, and staffing allocations across multiple clients.

Business Development & Agency Growth

  • Contribute to business development efforts including proposal creation, presentations, and RFP responses.
  • Identify opportunities for organic growth within existing accounts.
  • Partner with senior leadership to shape best practices, improve processes, and drive overall agency excellence.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • 10+ years of PR or communications experience, with significant agency experience in B2B technology.
  • Proven success leading integrated communications programs for enterprise, SaaS, or AI clients.
  • Deep understanding of the B2B tech landscape, including key media, trends, and issues shaping the industry.
  • Exceptional writing, pitching, and storytelling abilities.
  • Demonstrated leadership experience managing teams, budgets, and client portfolios.
  • Strong presentation and client relationship-building skills.
  • Strategic thinker who can translate complex technology into compelling narratives.
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally in a fast-paced, all-remote environment.

THE PERKS

We offer a competitive benefits package—including comprehensive medical/dental/vision coverage, vacation/sick leave/holiday PTO, 401(k), Flex Friedays, flexible remote work options, and Summer Fridays.
