About The Position

Burson's Corporate Affairs practice is seeking an Account Supervisor to join its Corporate Digital team, supporting corporate social media strategy and execution across multiple client accounts. This role is ideal for a digitally fluent communicator with a strong corporate reputation mindset—someone who understands how brands and corporate leaders show up across social channels and how digital signals shape perception. The Corporate Affairs team at Burson is a leading force in reputation management. The digital team complements this practice as the first line of defense and the strategic connector between the Corporate Affairs practice and Burson Digital’s centers of excellence (Social & Influencer, Paid Media & Brand Partnerships and Digital Experience & Content Strategy).
