Matter is an independent and thriving brand elevation agency unifying PR, creative services, and marketing. 

As we’ve grown, we’ve maintained focus on building and nurturing an inclusive, team-oriented and creative environment because we know that when we tap into our collective brainpower we come up with inspired solutions for our clients, and because it makes for a happy place to work. We work with people we like and can learn from, making our jobs a positive aspect of a balanced life. At Matter, we prioritize employee diversity, equity and inclusion and value everyone’s unique story. We’re proud of the many awards that we’ve garnered as a Top Place to Work and as a Top Agency in the US, but we’re equally as proud of the many organizations that we’ve helped through our agency-wide volunteer initiative. If you’re the kind of professional that takes their work seriously, but also doesn’t take themselves too seriously, this could be the place to grow your career. 

We’re currently looking for a creative, results-focused Account Coordinator to join our PR team!  You'll play a key supporting role in executing client PR programs through traditional media channels.

• Produce strong written documents, including pitches, speaking opportunity abstracts, client communications, etc.
• Actively participate in client/team meetings, offering creative ideas/solutions

Along with creativity, drive and self-motivation, your previous experience and attributes will include:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent relevant business experience
• 1+ years of PR experience working with b2b and b2c clients via internships. Prior agency experience is a big plus!
• Strong interest in the tech and consumer fields and desire to work with clients in those industries
• Adaptable, engaged, and nimble in environments that can be dynamic or fast-paced.
• A lifelong learner with an inquisitive mind and a willingness to receive feedback
• Collaborative, dependable, and a team player excited to promote a positive work environment 
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills
