Account Director - Earned Media Strategy

Weber Shandwick is more than a leading global PR agency – we’re an engagement agency working in the cutting edge of the new media landscape. We’re storytellers and content creators who engage people in the story. Our success is built on deep commitment to client service and our people, embracing creativity and collaboration.

We are seeking an Account Director to join our Media Relations team within our Health Practice. You will lead all aspects of media relations as a key member of integrated client teams. Shape communications strategies, craft earned media approaches, and organize best-in-class media outreach that drives results.

You’ll be a go-to client contact, supervising large workstreams and junior team members while connecting dots across business. Responsibilities include day-to-day client support, leading media relations efforts, driving communications around campaigns, and working across internal and external specialists. Provide earned media recommendations across traditional print/online media, newer forms, and editorial partnerships.

Beyond client work, engage in business development and support activities for our health media relations function. Bring experience in the health industry with a proven track record managing branded and unbranded campaigns. Offer counsel to team members, delegate projects, and allocate resources to match client budgets.
