Were hiring an Public Affairs Account Executive to run client work day to day. This is a role with real ownership early. You will be on calls with the people who make the decisions and what you build will run.

What Youre Do

Own the account. Youll be a primary point of contact for your clients. That means knowing their issue their opposition their timeline and the politics around all three well enough to tell them what they need to hear not just take the order. Youll shape strategy alongside senior staff and bring recommendations to the table.

Build the work. Social content ad concepting video scriptwriting. If it lives on a screen we make it. Your ideas are the engine that power our production team of designers videographers and web developers who then bring your vision to life on deadline and on budget.

Run the campaign. Youll help plan multi-channel advertising programs across CTV pre-roll display social and text then manage them in flight. Youll run client calls and internal production meetings manage approvals track budgets and timelines and pull the reporting that shows what moved.

Find the next thing. Advocacy changes fast. We hire the hardest-working people with the most positive attitudes and team-oriented mentalities. At Drive we thrive in a culture of curiosity which means were constantly trying new things innovating building and growing together.

How Youll Grow

Drive is a small team with a large bench behind it. You get the range of a boutique shop and the production media-buying design and data capacity of our parent company Push Digital Group. Practically that means an AE here touches strategy creative and media instead of being boxed into one lane.
