Account Executive, PR

A successful AE at EvolveMKD will have strong written and verbal communications skills, the drive to form media and influencer relationships, and a proven track record of generating results. They should be a self-starter with strong communication and organization skills, as well as the ability to multi-task with a sense of curiosity and urgency.

Company Overview
EvolveMKD was founded in 2014 by Megan Driscoll as a 100% independent, female-owned agency with a clear mission: to build something intentional, inclusive, and built to last. Twelve years later, that mission has evolved. What began as a PR and digital marketing agency has grown into a Brand Relations agency, exclusively dedicated to helping clients in healthcare, aesthetics, and biotech build and protect the relationships that matter most — the practitioners who recommend a brand, the consumers who champion it, and the media who keep coming back.

We thrive from our restless discontent, constantly looking to elevate our work and our skill set. We're building out a team of high performers with an uncommon level of modesty. Because no one is above the work. From every level, anyone can and does jump in. You'll never hear us say "That's not my job." We live and die off our credo, Be Kind, Don't Suck. We're proud to be certified as a Great Place to Work for the ninth year in a row.

EvolveMKD is based in Manhattan and operates on a hybrid schedule (in-office Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday). Relocation assistance is not provided.
