Join Nectar

Nectar is looking for a strategic, driven, and experienced Account Director to join our team. This is an opportunity to be part of a nimble, high-impact communications group that’s helping some of the most disruptive tech companies tell their stories.

We partner with companies of all sizes—from early-stage startups to Fortune 10 leaders—helping them turn big ambitions into clear, relevant, and impactful stories. Our strength is uncovering what matters and making it resonate, not just with press and influencers, but with customers, partners, and the broader market. We’ve built a reputation for being scrappy and resourceful, consistently delivering outsized impact while staying nimble and scalable. Companies trust us for our deep relationships, technological expertise, and ability to help them navigate what’s next. As AI reshapes the landscape, we’re building the next generation of agency—one that’s ahead of the curve and designed for what’s coming.

You bring energy, attention to detail, and the confidence that comes from real experience. You know how to balance urgency with capacity, and you’re skilled at finding solutions that move things forward without losing sight of people.

Industry & Category Expertise — Bring fluency in technology PR, guiding internal teams and clients while staying sharp on industry trends, competitors, and business goals.

Future-first Approach — Infuse a forward-looking perspective, integrating AI and emerging technologies into tried-and-true PR tactics to create smarter, faster, and more impactful results.

Agency Growth — Play an active role in new business, from lead generation and research to creative ideation, pitch decks, and presentations.

People Leadership — Mentor and coach team members with empathy, feedback, and humor, building a culture of growth and collaboration.
