Account Supervisor, New Business

Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum. 

We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging.

Eager. Proactive. Detail-oriented. The ideal U.S. New Business Account Supervisor (AS) embodies these qualities and has a desire to support a team at the forefront of the agency’s offerings.

At Edelman, our pitches reflect who we are: smart, strategic, innovative and collaborative. We’re an independent, family-run company driven by the relentless pursuit of excellence for our clients and ourselves. We’re the agency that’s owned the Trust Barometer for 20+ years – and we’re also the team that produces leading, conversation-driving campaigns that help our clients compete and win. Our strategic vision remains focused on the importance of building trust and creating movements, not moments.

The U.S. New Business AS will have a front row seat to all things happening at Edelman and will have the chance to work across nearly every practice, sector, specialty and offering – a fantastic opportunity for someone interested in agency life but not quite sure where they fit within it. While experience in new business at an agency is a plus, we’re always excited to bring fresh thinking to our team and welcome individuals from all industries, backgrounds and experiences.

The ideal candidate for this role has a growth mindset, positive outlook, strong project management skills as well as a strong writing ability. They’re a self-starter, a skilled motivator and a vocal contributor. They’re resilient and resourceful, eager to find solutions or solve problems quickly and collaboratively. They work efficiently and are comfortable advancing multiple projects at once as well as managing multiple stakeholders at all levels of the firm.
