Financial Services PR: Account Manager — Global Specialist Agency

  • NYC (hybrid)

An opportunity to join one of the most established specialist financial services communications agencies in the market.
 
This is a global consultancy with a quarter of a century of deep expertise across financial services, fintech and capital markets. They operate from offices spanning the globe and are consistently recognised among the top-ranked financial services agencies in the US.
 
The New York team is tight and senior — made up of former journalists, communications strategists, ex-bankers and trained lawyers. The financial literacy here is a step above what you'd find at a generalist shop, which means clients trust the team with complex, high-stakes work.

The work covers everything from media relations and thought leadership to investor communications, executive positioning, crisis management and integrated digital campaigns.
