Account Director/ Media Relations

Account Director, Longview Strategies

At Longview Strategies, we believe powerful communications can drive meaningful change. We work in complex, high-stakes industries where great communications shape how companies are understood by their buyers, investors, and markets.

From cybersecurity and medtech to professional services and finance, we help ambitious companies clarify their message, elevate their voice, and build influence where it matters most.

We’re growing and looking for an Account Director who wants to own the work, not simply manage it. We want someone who leads the way: sees what needs to happen and makes it happen, brings ideas rather than waiting for assignments, and isn't afraid to respectfully challenge the status quo when there’s a better approach.

If you love solving hard problems, learning complex businesses, and becoming the person clients rely on, we should talk.

What You’ll Do

• Manage Client Relationships: Serve as the day-to-day lead for up to five accounts, developing a deep understanding of each client's business and proactively identifying opportunities to advance their goals.

• Drive the Work: Translate complicated businesses and technical topics into clear, compelling storylines, thought leadership, content, and media opportunities. Write, edit, pitch, brainstorm, troubleshoot, and do what it takes to move things forward.

• Measure and Improve: Track results, report on what matters, and use what we're learning to continually strengthen our approach.

Who You Are

• You take ownership. You don't wait to be told what to do. You spot opportunities and problems and take responsibility for moving them forward.

• You're strategic and hands-on. You enjoy the big picture AND opening the document, rewriting the pitch, researching the reporter, or figuring out why something isn't working.

• You have a point of view. You collaborate well, but you're comfortable saying, “I think there's a better way to do this” --and explaining why.

• You're curious. You love digging into complex businesses and industries and learning enough to ask smart questions and uncover interesting stories.

• You're relentlessly reliable. You manage competing priorities, communicate clearly, and don't let things fall through the cracks.

• You're tech and AI-savvy. You use technology to work smarter and are eager to explore new tools that can make great communications work even better.

What You Bring

• 7 years of experience in strategic communications, ideally in an agency or communications consulting environment with a strong focus on media relations--developing story angles, pitching journalists, and securing results.

• Meaningful B2B communications experience in at least one of our core sectors: cybersecurity, medtech, professional services, or finance. Experience across multiple sectors is a plus.

• Experience independently leading client relationships and communications programs.

• Excellent writing, editing, project management, and interpersonal skills.
