About the role

Methods+Mastery has an immediate opening for a talented, driven Consumer Tech Media Assistant Account Executive who will partner with the account team to secure both proactive and announcement-led earned media coverage supporting one of our Fortune 50 clients and our rapidly-growing integrated marketing and communications offerings. This Consumer Tech Media Executor will support one of the agency’s largest and fastest-growing accounts.

This role requires strong proactive media skills, a growing understanding of the consumer tech media landscape (including new media), and a strong drive for media pitching. Clear writing and communication skills are also key - this role includes contributing to tactical plans for product news moments such as announcements of new features and software updates, along with crafting highly targeted, proactive pitches. Additionally, we are looking for candidates who embrace modern PR workflows, utilizing the latest AI tools to optimize media research, drafting, and outreach.

We’re seeking someone who is passionate about media and staying up-to-date with the latest news. Someone who has an innate curiosity and the desire to find out "why?” Our team is growing at an amazing rate, and this is an opportunity to produce work for top clients in an entrepreneurial and collaborative environment that values team above all. We do great work – and hire only great people, too.

Methods+Mastery is actively committed to increasing our team’s diversity, aggressively eliminating systemic barriers to equity, and fostering a culture where different backgrounds and perspectives are respected and celebrated. We firmly believe a team of many diverse perspectives not only makes M+M a better place to work, it is also critically important for producing creative and thoughtful work that represents the world we live in. To that end, we strongly encourage applications from women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and neurodivergent people.
