About The Company
We are a leading global communications marketing firm helping business and organisations evolve, promote, and protect their brands and reputations. We are independent and family owned, which allows us the freedom to deliver original thinking and invest in our clients.

The Role
We are looking for a Senior Account Manager to join Edelman’s Brand team, working across a portfolio of global businesses, with a focus on global sport partnerships spanning multiple rights-holders, markets and categories.
The role plays a key part in delivering integrated, award-winning global campaigns, spanning B2B and B2C communications, with a focus on content creation, earned media, thought leadership and brand storytelling. You will help bring brand storytelling and partnerships to life through culturally relevant ideas that resonate with both business and consumer audiences.
