Account Executive, Beauty, Wellness & Lifestyle

AZIONE is not a traditional PR agency. We operate at the intersection of culture, media, and brand, building relevance, not just awareness. Across beauty, wellness, and lifestyle, we help brands shape conversation, enter culture, and drive measurable business impact through strategic storytelling, media relations, partnerships, experiential activations, influencer marketing, and cultural positioning.

We're looking for an Account Executive to join AZIONE's Beauty, Wellness & Lifestyle team, supporting a portfolio of innovative consumer brands. This position may be based in New York City or Los Angeles. Our teams follow a hybrid work schedule, with a mix of in-office and remote work.

This is not a traditional publicity role. It's a strategic, media-driven position for someone who understands how today's most exciting beauty, wellness, and lifestyle brands build relevance across editorial, creator ecosystems, partnerships, affiliate, experiential, and culture.

You have a strong pulse on the evolving beauty, wellness, and lifestyle landscape, from emerging brands and category disruptors to established consumer companies and the trends shaping how people live, shop, discover, and engage with brands.

You know how to translate a product launch, founder story, partnership, campaign, or cultural moment into compelling editorial opportunities that generate meaningful visibility and conversation.

You understand today's media ecosystem across:

• Beauty + wellness media
• Lifestyle + consumer publications
• Business + trade press
• Affiliate + commerce
• Creator + cultural ecosystems
• Cultural relevance + commercial impact

You're naturally curious, proactive, highly organized, and constantly looking for opportunities to connect brands to the conversations shaping beauty, wellness, lifestyle, and modern consumer culture.
