Senior Account Executive, Public Relations
About The Position
CTP is looking for a Senior Account Executive in Public Relations. We are a values-driven agency that thrives on collaborating with talented individuals who bring a team-oriented mindset. Our work moves quickly, and we are committed to delivering smart, creative solutions with impact. We work with organizations shaping consequential issues across clean energy, healthcare, community banking, social enterprise, and sports. Our teams move quickly, think strategically, and hold a high bar for execution. We believe strong communications start with clarity of purpose and succeed through disciplined storytelling, smart positioning, and focused media engagement. We’re seeking a driven PR professional with 3–5 years of experience who is ready to take on greater ownership across accounts and contribute to high-impact communications programs. In this role, you will support day-to-day account execution while bringing a proactive mindset — identifying opportunities, advancing storylines, and helping translate business objectives into clear, effective communications. You’ll play a central role in developing and executing earned media programs — from shaping narratives and drafting materials to pitching media and securing coverage. This role requires strong news instincts, sharp writing skills, sound judgment, and the ability to operate with both speed and precision in a fast-moving environment. This is an opportunity for you to work alongside some of Boston’s leading PR, marketing, digital, and creative talent, with real opportunity to grow quickly, take on responsibility, and shape the work. This role offers exposure to a wide range of clients and the chance to stretch both your strategic thinking and creative instincts. This is a Boston-based role. All employees are expected to work from our office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
