Job Description:

CTP is looking for a Senior Account Executive in Public Relations. We are a values-driven agency that thrives on collaborating with talented individuals who bring a team-oriented mindset. Our work moves quickly, and we are committed to delivering smart, creative solutions with impact. We work with organizations shaping consequential issues across clean energy, healthcare, community banking, social enterprise, and sports. Our teams move quickly, think strategically, and hold a high bar for execution. We believe strong communications start with clarity of purpose and succeed through disciplined storytelling, smart positioning, and focused media engagement. We’re seeking a driven PR professional with 3–5 years of experience who is ready to take on greater ownership across accounts and contribute to high-impact communications programs. In this role, you will support day-to-day account execution while bringing a proactive mindset — identifying opportunities, advancing storylines, and helping translate business objectives into clear, effective communications. You’ll play a central role in developing and executing earned media programs — from shaping narratives and drafting materials to pitching media and securing coverage. This role requires strong news instincts, sharp writing skills, sound judgment, and the ability to operate with both speed and precision in a fast-moving environment.

Job Responsibility:

Owning day-to-day execution across accounts, ensuring momentum, quality, and results
Developing and leading communications initiatives in collaboration with internal teams and clients
Identifying timely opportunities and turning them into compelling, relevant storylines
Writing with clarity and authority across formats (pitches, press releases, op-eds, messaging, etc.)
Pitching media proactively and securing high-impact, on-strategy coverage
Building and maintaining strong relationships with reporters, editors, and influencers
Developing and managing thought leadership platforms that elevate our clients level of authority
Preparing client spokespeople for media opportunities
Advising on integrated amplification across social and digital channels
Tracking performance, extracting insights, and continuously refining approach
Exploring and thoughtfully using tools, including AI, to support research, content development, and workflow efficiency while maintaining high standards for accuracy, quality, and judgement

Requirements:

Ability to commute to our Boston office 2x/week (Tuesday and Wednesday)
Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience)
3–5 years of PR experience (agency or in-house, ideally within an agency environment)
Demonstrated success securing meaningful media coverage
Strong writing, communication, and presentation skills
Sharp news judgment and the ability to move quickly and strategically
Experience managing multiple workstreams with attention to detail and deadlines
Confidence working directly with clients and contributing to strategic conversations
A proactive, high-energy approach with a strong sense of ownership
