Summary:
This is not exactly where it all starts on your path to PR agency success, but it’s the next step closer to it from our entry level position. Any AE who has the drive and ambition to be on our team should demonstrate above all other skills, two things: an endless curiosity about financial services and how brands can better engage with their audience, and a strong desire to dive into the financial media ecosystem and engage with the media on an ongoing basis.
OK, here’s your to-do list:
- For Water & Wall:
- Bring a positive attitude to a high energy team that “shows up” to work every day
- Ask questions, bring new ideas, interact with your colleagues (virtually and in-person) and make your voice be heard
- Introduce new ideas, tools, media relationships, and industry concepts to the agency based on your research or general professional experience beyond the client work
- For Clients:
- Track and report account activity with a high degree of detail and consistency
- Meet ongoing deadlines for all account deliverables

- Pitch and secure media opportunities on a consistent basis, even beyond planned outreach
- Develop client-specific ideas that you can convert into results.
- Stay in front of clients in all ways to keep them informed on your work and outside events that may impact their business. Be their ear to the ground.
- Know the earned media outlets that make the most sense for your clients
- Secure quality earned media coverage that can be distributed across clients’ owned channels
- Your Street Cred:
- 1-2 years of financial PR agency and/or in-house financial institution experience
- A strong interest in financial services, both institutional and consumer
- An insatiable curiosity to understand how the global financial system works and how that system affects investors
- Someone who thrives in a team setting and loves to work with others
- Anticipated salary range: $45,000-$75,000. This is based on Water & Wall’s good faith belief at the time we published this job description. Actual compensation may vary based on myriad factors such as an individual’s professional experience, the overall market conditions, and skill level as it pertains to the requirements of the role, among others. Bonuses, whether they be episodic or scheduled, are based on individual and agency performance. Our comprehensive and ever-evolving benefits package, we feel, remains second-to-none in our category.
