Senior Account Executive

NewsWhip is the only real-time media monitoring platform that predicts the stories and topics that will matter in the hours ahead, giving communications professionals the clarity they need for quick and confident decisions. Our platform is used daily by the world’s leading brands, PR agencies and media companies to understand and predict trends across all channels in the news and social media.
