About The Position

Nectar is looking for an Account Executive who takes big swings, never stops leveling up, and makes the whole team better in the process. We're a tight-knit, high-performing communications agency that shapes the stories of today's most disruptive technology companies including LinkedIn, Google Cloud, the world's biggest AI company (yes, that one), and a growing roster of breakout startups across AI, enterprise, and consumer. We punch above our weight because we show up with energy, urgency, and ambition, and because we hold each other to a genuinely high bar. As an Account Executive, you'll be at the center of the action—turning strategy into smart execution, building relationships with media, and helping clients tell stories that break through. You'll take ownership of your work, bring ideas to the table, and develop the confidence to become a go-to partner for clients and teammates alike. Nectarines are curious about where media and technology are headed, especially in this age of AI, and actively use that curiosity to think bigger and move faster. We collaborate without ego, communicate clearly, and take ownership from kickoff to follow-through. If you're energized by tech, passionate about storytelling, and ready to do the best work of your career in an inclusive environment where your ideas actually matter, this is your place.
