Senior Account Executive

NYC or Chicago preferred | Remote-friendly

Who We Are

Haus is a boutique, founder-led PR agency with a very simple philosophy: know the media, know the culture and make things happen. We're high-touch, highly collaborative and, admittedly, chronically online and deeply invested in knowing what's happening in culture before everyone else does. We're also nimble by design, without layers of bureaucracy. You work directly with founders, clients and media, have real ownership over your work, and get to see the impact of what you do.

Our clients span consumer brands, with a particularly strong roster of food and beverage / CPG, and we're looking to expand our team to support existing and new clients.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Account Executive with 4-6 years of PR, communications or marketing experience who is ready to take meaningful ownership of client accounts and work streams. You should be someone who can build strong client relationships, keep complex work moving, bring smart ideas to the table and understand how to turn a client brief into work that actually makes an impact.

You'll work across a roster of consumer clients, with a particular focus on food & beverage and lifestyle, and will have meaningful ownership across client strategy, media relations, influencer programming, events, partnerships and new business. This is a senior-level doer role. You should be comfortable leading a client conversation, developing a point of view, managing multiple work streams and figuring things out when there isn't an obvious answer.

You don't need to know everything, but you should be confident enough to take ownership, resourceful enough to find the answer and thoughtful enough to know when to pull in the team. We're looking for someone who takes pride in being a trusted client partner, not just someone who gets the work done, but someone who makes the work better.

What You'll Do

• Serve as a day-to-day client contact across assigned accounts and build strong, trusted client relationships.
• Develop and execute PR and communications programs across food & beverage, CPG and lifestyle clients.
• Bring proactive ideas and cultural POVs to clients, identifying opportunities tied to trends, news, products, partnerships, events, creators and cultural moments.
• Lead media relations efforts when relevant, including developing angles, drafting pitches, conducting outreach, building reporter relationships and driving coverage. Media relations experience is a plus.
• Help develop and manage influencer and creator opportunities, from research and outreach through coordination, execution and reporting. Experience with influencer marketing is a plus.
• Draft polished, strategic, client-ready materials including pitches, press releases, media alerts, talking points, briefing documents, recaps, plans and presentations.
• Lead or support client launches, events, activations, partnerships and other major moments from planning through execution.
• Stay deeply plugged into the news cycle, social media, cultural moments, emerging trends and, yes, whatever everyone is talking about on the internet that day.
• Manage account calendars, trackers, budgets, contact lists and other client materials, ensuring the team and client are always clear on what's happening next.
• Help guide and review the work of junior team members, providing thoughtful feedback and helping them grow.
• Collaborate closely with the founders and broader Haus team on client strategy, creative thinking and execution.
• Contribute meaningfully to new business opportunities, including research, brainstorming, pitch development and presentations.
