The Account Manager will build client relationships, lead campaign planning, manage budgets and timelines, oversee content, and mentor junior colleagues, while driving strategic insights to impact.
Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum.
At Edelman, we understand diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) transform our colleagues, our company, our clients, and our communities.
