About The Position

Vault Communications isn't your typical full-service integrated communications agency. We're the scrappy, fun, and wildly creative Philadelphia area firm that's turning heads for our people-centered workplace (named one of The Philadelphia Inquirer's Top Workplaces in 2024 & 2025, one of Philly's Civic 50, and a five-time consecutive winner of the Philadelphia Business Journal Best Places to Work designation). Everyday, we come to work guided our four Core Values -- Heart, Hunger, Curiosity and Excellence -- and we're looking for a seasoned communications professional who will embrace these values and emerge a well-respected leader in our firm. As an Account Manager, you'll be the day-to-day heartbeat for client accounts, developing and leading everything from disruptive, innovative PR campaigns to deploying crisis communications strategy to executing day-to-day communications strategy to providing sage counsel and everything in between. You'll mentor emerging professionals (and trust us, they're eager to learn from you!), manage budgets without breaking a sweat, and give presentations that make clients swoon. Some days you'll be crafting the perfect pitch. Other days you'll be problem-solving on the fly or leading a brainstorm that generates the kind of ideas that define careers. The best part? You'll have real autonomy and trust to make it happen.
