MORE ABOUT THE ROLE: 

The stakes in tech storytelling today are higher than ever. Gone are the days of technology simply “saving the world.” The double-edged sword of today’s technologies creates as much reputational risk as reward across diverse stakeholder groups. 

Want to be on the front lines, shaping the narrative for the large-scale innovations that matter? 

With nearly a century of science and state-of-the-art AI to help us understand the changing dynamics of reputation management, Burson is the partner to leading technology companies, crafting stories that resonate, inspire, and drive real impact. We're not about press releases and blogs; we're about building reputations that stand the test of time. 

If you're obsessed with all things tech, love a good challenge, and want to be part of a growing and collaborative team, Burson's US Technology practice is the place for you! 

As an Account Executive on our growing US Technology team, you'll play a key role in executing impactful integrated communications strategies and programs for both established brands and disruptive startups. We're looking for a strategic and creative individual with a deep curiosity and understanding of the technology landscape and a passion for media relations. If you're a team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is eager to take ownership of client work, and ready to take a big step in your career, this is the opportunity for you! 

WHAT YOU’LL DO: 

• Manage day-to-day client activities, engaging with client contacts, vendors and internal teams for assigned projects and ensuring timely execution of program elements.
• Contribute to the development and implementation of integrated communications programs, including media relations, thought leadership, creative campaigns and product launches, in collaboration with account leads.

EXPERIENCE THAT CONTRIBUTES TO SUCCESS:

• 1-2 years of experience working in a client-facing role in public relations, with a strong focus on the technology industry.
• A genuine passion for either/both consumer or enterprise technology and ability to "geek out."
• Previous media relations experience with technology media, including developing media lists and tailoring pitches and outreach to relevant journalists
