Account Associate

With the energy of a start-up and the stability of an established business, our agency is thriving. We’re hiring an account associate with a background in strategic communications, marketing and/or public relations to help us continue to grow. In this entry-level role, this person will gain exposure to a wide variety of dynamic accounts in the healthcare, manufacturing, energy and agriculture industries, as well as have an opportunity to contribute to the agency’s culture and overall success. Agency experience is not required, but internships are highly recommended. 

We’ve outlined below key role attributes and responsibilities, but we’re open to candidates who fall outside the box if they bring something more powerful than we could imagine. 

Benefits
We offer an incredible benefits package that includes paid time off, performance bonuses, profit sharing, retirement plan, paid family leave, comprehensive health insurance, stipends for professional development and community involvement. 

We want every team member to operate at their best, so we give all employees a premium Apple laptop, as well as the freedom and flexibility to work whenever and wherever they are most productive. That translates to unlimited day-to-day flexibility to adjust your schedule for doctor’s appointments, errands, mental health days and more without needing to tap into your PTO bucket.We want you to take additional paid time off, just for yourself, throughout the year and your manager will work with you to ensure that formal PTO is baked into your plans. Employees with 1-3 years of consecutive service will have 18 days of additional PTO; employees with 3-5 years of consecutive service will have 22 days; and employees with 5 or more years of consecutive service will have unlimited PTO. The number of PTO days available during a person’s first year of employment will be negotiated during the hiring process and depend on factors including hire date, seniority, etc. We offer health insurance through United Healthcare and we pick up the tab for 100% of employees’ premiums. Dental and vision insurance are also offered. We also offer a 401k with 5% match, profit sharing and 12 weeks of paid family leave. 

Every employee has a hand in crafting their unique professional development plan, which is intentionally designed to maximize the skills and aspirations of every employee, at every level. We provide the tools and training to propel our team forward. And, last but not least, our Culture Committee brings the fun with surprising and engaging team building events that put Dunder Mifflin’s Party Planning Committee to shame.
