bread & Butter
PR Senior Account Executive (NOLA)
The Role
Who we are:
bread & Butter is a full-service communications agency with a fondness for all things food, drink and travel. We are a collaborative group of dreamers and do-ers. We combine intimate local knowledge with an extensive national network to craft clever and multidisciplinary communications campaigns tailored to our clients’ needs. We only partner with inventive businesses that inspire us and continually challenge us to think big, but act small.
Why bread & Butter:
We are Southerners at heart, always saying, “Please” and “Thank You,” and hustlers by trade. We believe everyone deserves a seat at the table and practice what we preach to ensure the spirit of hospitality runs through everything we do. We're not a company that wastes time—not yours, not ours. We are not too busy to talk, come by or think of new ways to increase long-term brand awareness. For us, there is little difference between work and pleasure because our work is our pleasure.
We’re Looking at You!
We’re searching for a PR star with experience in the travel & hospitality industry. A Senior Account Executive with bread & Butter is a go-getter, jet setter and many-hat wearer. You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work. A proverbial eager beaver, you meet or beat deadlines, stay ahead of trends and always look for new ways to tackle a challenge. You love to write, enjoy making meaningful connections and bring creative ideas to the table. When not planning your next trip, you’re fueling your wanderlust by seeking out the next big trends and learning what’s new in the world of travel. You like to go big – because going home isn’t an option. An SAE with bread & Butter is dialed into the teams’ accounts and clients’ needs, a problem solver, an inspiring leader, and a keeper of long-standing, meaningful relationships with key media and industry leaders. Most importantly, the person in this role should be excited about what bread & Butter is and what it will be.
Available Opportunity:
A Senior Account Executive for bread & Butter is responsible for managing and answering the needs of the client daily. Senior Account Executives serve as representatives of the company and as liaisons between the company and the client. Senior Account Executives oversee the work of Assistant Account Executives and Account Executives and report to the Account Supervisor or Director.
Here’s What We Need:
Working Conditions
On the whole, this is a hybrid, office-based role. A Senior Account Executive will spend time in meetings and briefings. Occasional travel might be required for client visits and planning. This position is considered sedentary to light work, and employees are not required to lift or move heavy objects. Although a Senior Account Executive's commitment will tend to be standard office hours, deadlines or the demands of a client may see the executive's working nights or weekends to ensure continued success. Must be authorized to work in the US.
