Account Executive, Workplace Advisory

Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum. 

We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging.

Edelman’s Workplace Advisory is a global team of business transformation and employee experience specialists delivering solutions informed by data, powered by storytelling and automated for speed with AI, giving our clients the means to act with certainty. We help build stronger companies from the inside out by focusing on what drives change – people. Our team’s human-centric approach powers successful transformation by giving our clients the ability to act with certainty and deliver a trusted workplace transformation. We strengthen the business by focusing on three key areas:

Value: We translate business strategy into transformation narratives for internal and external stakeholders, with emphasis on analysts, investors, media, and industry.

Culture: We engage and connect employees to the organization’s core purpose, values, and behaviors through personalized employee experiences.

Brand: We shape brand identity and ambition, and bring it to life for employees, customers, and other stakeholders alike.
