Full-time
Department: Client Services - Consulting
Compensation: USD 67,000 - USD 85,000 per year
We are the global communications and marketing consultancy that powers the world's most innovative tech brands.
Our full-time roles are hybrid and open to our office locations – San Francisco.
At Hotwire the role of Senior Associate, also known as Senior Account Executive at other agencies.
About You You’re a go-getter who thrives on making things happen. You love the buzz of integrated communications and know how to turn ideas into impact. You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and own the day-to-day execution that powers client success, because you’re not just part of the team, you’re the engine that keeps it moving.
You’re curious and plugged in, always scanning the horizon for trends and insights that give your clients an edge. You know how to pitch a story that lands, craft content that resonates, and build relationships that matter, whether it’s with journalists, influencers, or clients. You’re confident, organized, and resourceful, juggling multiple campaigns without breaking a sweat.
You’re not afraid of challenges; you anticipate them, solve them, and keep things on track. You bring creativity, energy, and a results-first mindset to everything you do. You’re eager to learn, grow, and push boundaries, because you know great work doesn’t happen by accident, it happens because of people like you.
Role Overview As a Senior Associate, you will implement day-to-day integrated comms activities, carrying out most of the campaign execution and administration, usually reporting to an Account Manager or Senior Account Manager. You and your teammates will be the engine of the client campaign, driving activities with determination and enthusiasm to deliver results that will make an impact for the client’s business and make your team shine.
Typical activities include:
Being the eyes and ears of your clients’ industries, ensuring your account teams are up to speed on what’s happening across the wider sector.
Constantly building your media and sector knowledge and developing integrated comms skills.
Developing client call agendas before calls; taking detailed notes to map out action items and owners after the call.
Communicating with clients – on the phone, by email, and in person.
Delivering analytics reports.
Generating results by pitching client stories (by phone and email) to journalists and influencers.
Writing content for a variety of purposes such as pitches, speaking and award submissions, press releases, blog entries, feature articles, and case studies.
Assisting with clients’ digital marketing programs.
Arranging and staffing media interviews and events.
Brainstorming new ideas for integrated comms campaigns.
Job Duties and Responsibilities You’ll work across a portfolio of around 5-6 clients and will be assigned responsibility for specific areas of each client’s campaign. On larger accounts you may work with other Senior Associates or help direct and support an Account Coordinator or Intern.
You will be responsible for generating results, meeting deadlines, and developing relationships with clients and the media. You will need to manage your time carefully, becoming an expert at keeping lots of balls in the air as you deliver work on different campaigns with different teams.
When you suspect a campaign or initiative may run into a road block, you speak up and flag it to your account leads immediately. You will add real value to your team through your knowledge of the media, your understanding of what makes a great story and how best to tell it.
As a Senior Associate you will own, strategize and deliver campaign activities from start to finish, with minimal input from your bosses. You will drive activity forward, overcoming obstacles independently and running small accounts day‑to‑day largely on your own, including budgeting and resourcing.
Qualifications and Skills A great Senior Associate eats, breathes, and dreams comms and is motivated by delivering amazing results for their clients. You’ll know your clients’ target influencers inside out and have an exhaustive knowledge of the media agenda across your clients’ sectors and beyond. This knowledge will enable you to pitch effectively, generating outstanding results, and come up with clever, creative campaign ideas that will drive your client’s agenda.
You’ll be hard at work developing relationships with journalists, industry influencers and clients that you’ll tap into throughout your career in comms, and you’ll be snapping at your Account Manager’s heels, constantly thinking one step ahead.
You’ll be focused on learning and developing your professional skills every day, embracing new challenges that help you learn and being curious and open to new ideas so that we stay at the cutting edge of comms.
