Job Description

617MediaGroup, one of the fastest-growing progressive communications agencies in the U.S., is looking for an Account Executive to join our growing team. At 617MediaGroup, we don't just accept difference — we celebrate it, we support it, and we thrive on it for the benefit of our employees, our clients, and our communities. We believe that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds must be centered in the work we do. We strongly encourage applications from marginalized communities.

Who we are:

We're veteran campaigners, communicators, designers, strategists, storytellers, and web developers. We love what we do. We're results-driven. And we only work with clients we believe in.

What we do:

We move public opinion. We win tough fights. We tell stories simply, and with maximum impact. We offer comprehensive communication services: from earned media to paid, from digital strategy to eye-catching design. Websites. Video. We do it all for the benefit of our clients' social justice causes and campaigns.

• A hungry go-getter with a knack for sharp, compelling writing—from catchy social media content, to attention-grabbing press releases and incisive talking points.
• A news-hound with a proven track record pitching and placing media
• You thrive in fast-paced environments
• You have 1-3 years of communications experience in labor, advocacy, organizing, politics, or media, and you're eager to make a difference for the public good

This position will be based in Newton, MA, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, CA, San Francisco, CA, or Chicago, IL.

All employees in this position are expected to retain a valid driver's license and a purchased or leased automobile for personal transportation to work events with a valid inspection sticker. If this expectation will create an unmitigable hardship, and you would like to request an exemption, please note that in your cover letter.

The current minimum starting salary offer for this position is $63,808. Starting salary offer amounts are furnished at the discretion of the agency with adherence to contractually guaranteed minimum pay rates and are also based on the relevant experience level of the applicant and agency hiring needs. 617MediaGroup is proud to be a union shop and 617MediaGroup employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Employees of 617MediaGroup enjoy robust opportunities for professional and financial growth and advancement.

Please note that we receive hundreds of applications each month, and we are not able to respond to every individual application. If you do not receive a response from our organization within 90 days either in the form of initial outreach or follow-up correspondence, please assume that your application has not been chosen for the specific career opportunity to which you applied. You may re-apply at any time for future opportunities. While we do our best to ensure timely and thorough correspondence with applicants, the volume of applications we receive does not allow us to respond individually in all cases. Thank you again for your interest in pursuing employment with 617MediaGroup.
