Senior PR Account Manager, Media Relations + CEO Thought Leadership | 3618861

, .

Pave Talent is hiring on behalf of our client, a boutique PR agency where clients work directly with the senior people doing the work.

• Base salary of $82,000 to $90,000

• Hybrid in San Diego, with regular in-office days every week

• Five to six accounts, about 60 percent consumer and 40 percent B2B

• About 30 percent client strategy, 30 percent media pitching and 40 percent executive thought leadership

• You report to a director and lead the people on your accounts, with no direct reports yet

• Medical, retirement and paid time off benefits

With a book that size, you have room to think, write and pitch instead of keeping plates spinning.

Clients here pay for judgment. The hiring team says the best people walk into a client call and say "here's what's going to move your business forward," and then deliver it. In their words, this seat needs "strong execution and emotional intelligence."

Much of the work is helping senior leaders be heard through bylines, LinkedIn posts in a CEO's voice, panels and award entries. If you can write what a founder would really say, instead of another "we're so excited to announce," you'll love this seat.

• You put a real win on the board in your first month with a new client.

• You stay a step ahead of your accounts, so the next pitch and the next deadline are already moving.

• You're polished in front of a CEO and easy to work with every day.

• You give clients a clear point of view, and you can disagree kindly.

• You still love to pitch, and reporters know your name.

This isn't the seat if your strength is hotel openings and launch events, paid media, social-only or influencer-only work, or managing accounts while a team does the pitching.

• Five or more years at a PR agency, ideally in an agency seat today

• Both B2B and consumer clients in your background

• Executive thought leadership you wrote or ran yourself

• Media relations you do yourself, with a placement you can walk us through from pitch to story

• Senior-level writing and a confident presence on client calls

• Bonus points for technology, health tech, education or financial services clients, and a practical view on how AI fits into PR work
