Who are you?You bring a time-tested roster of media relationships and proven experience pitching successful storylines for luxury travelhospitality brands. You have a pulse on what's trending in the industry, know what questions to ask your clients to find compelling, timely storylines, and aim for coverage that drives qualified leads to the clients you represent. You have a strong understanding of the luxury travel and lifestyle industries and thrive on brokering partnerships for your clients that bring awareness to the target audiences that matter most. In addition to your established client and media relationships, you are a humble leader: no task is too small to roll up your sleeves and dive in when your team members need support. You have supported at least one direct report's professional growth through proactive mentorship and authentic relationship building - you have cheered on their successes, advocated for stretch assignments when they're ready, and had candid conversations needed to foster continual growth and trust. You're motivated, passionate, and working diligently to be a go-to industry expert for media, clients, and your agency team. If this sounds like you, then please read on. The RoleAs the Senior Account Supervisor, you are taking a bigger role in strategy and thought leadership, getting those impressive powerhouse placements, mentoring your teams, managing direct reports (helping them set goals to continue growing and developing), and conducting annual reviews. You're implementing agency practices, crafting and delivering workshops, and leading culture initiatives. By this point, you have account oversight, ensuring all initiatives are moving forward, your client service delivery is exceptional, and you're starting to manage account profitability and growth on smaller accounts. You're growing your accounts, so in this role, it's less about attending FAMs and more about guiding your teams so that they can successfully attend them. There are still some very targeted media relations, mainly focused on larger hits and a few very specific, targeted pitches.
