Agital is the Impact agency. We’re an integrated marketing partner serving clients of all sizes and across a variety of industries with services including paid and organic search, social, and programmatic, public relations (PR), business consulting, marketing automation, website development, UX design, and more. Our team of digital marketing and holistic strategy experts are nimble, using the latest data sourced from our industry-leading proprietary software paired with decades of experience to achieve measurable growth.

About the Role

REQ, an Agital Company, is seeking a strategic, resourceful, and self-starting Senior Account Executive (SAE) to join our growing Public Relations team in Washington, DC. In this role, you’ll act as a critical bridge between our clients and internal teams, managing day-to-day operations while helping to shape and drive high-impact PR and integrated marketing strategies.

This is more than a tactical role—you will be a key strategic partner to clients, offering thoughtful counsel, delivering outstanding work, and mentoring junior team members along the way. If you thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment and love translating ideas into action, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for multiple PR client accounts, delivering proactive, strategic guidance and building trusted client relationships
  • Lead the planning and execution of integrated campaigns, including earned media, social, and content marketing efforts
  • Translate complex client needs into actionable strategies, leveraging market insights and performance data
  • Write and edit high-impact content including executive messaging, press materials, bylined articles, and award submissions
  • Coordinate and lead media opportunities—securing placements, managing interviews, and helping clients refine messaging
  • Collaborate across REQ teams—PR, Creative, Paid Media, Development—to ensure seamless campaign execution
  • Coach and mentor junior team members through feedback, training, and professional development
  • Monitor budgets, track KPIs, and ensure timely, high-quality deliverables
  • Identify opportunities for account growth, upsells, and improved client value

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Public Relations, or a related field
  • 5+ years of relevant experience, with 3+ years in Client Services, PR, or Account Management roles
  • Demonstrated ability to lead projects, manage budgets, and drive successful client outcomes
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience drafting complex, high-stakes content
  • Strong proficiency in digital marketing tools and platforms (Google Analytics, WordPress, Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, etc.)
  • Experience across multiple digital marketing channels and comfort with performance metrics and analytics
  • Prior experience in media relations or public affairs is a plus
  • Comfort working both independently and in a collaborative, cross-functional team environment
  • Working at Agital

    We believe that great work is only possible with great people. We want to find people who believe in our mission, vision and values and feel inspired to grow while they’re here.

    Our People & Culture

    We’re working to create an inclusive culture that empowers our people to be who they are, contribute their unique perspectives, and make a difference individually and collectively.
