About the Opportunity:

Edelman is seeking a highly strategic employee experience professional at the EVP level to lead our innovative and growing Employee Experience Team in the PNW region. As part of this dynamic team, you will contribute to the success of several major accounts and work with some of the field's most forward-thinking leaders. Important to note: this role will also be filled by a candidate who has experience advising senior level clients and able to practice consultative selling and close new business.

It's not the ten years of corporate, consulting, or public relations agency experience you have that's most important for this role, but rather what you have done in those years to demonstrate your ability to think creatively, advise C-suite level clients on tough challenges, and develop a team that drives growth. The successful candidate for this role is a business-minded steward of the client relationship and is entrusted and empowered to ensure both the clients' and Edelman's business objectives are met. You will effectively manage several clients, projects and/or teams while delivering integrated thinking rooted in data and insights. You will help leverage the full suite of Edelman resources while creating a climate that encourages ingenuity and integrity.

While there is no "typical day" at Edelman, your time here will expose you to a variety of disciplines within the company as you help shape integrated solutions collaboratively with colleagues from across different Edelman practices.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Advising C-suite level clients on the people challenges of large-scale business change


• Leading new business proposals and presentations


• Partnering with leaders and colleagues from other practices, markets, and lines of business within the firm to create integrated solutions that bring the best of Edelman to client challenges


• Leading teams in the delivery and management of consulting assignments


• Creating tools and methodologies that evolve the Employee Experience practice capabilities


You will have the opportunity to partner with a diverse set of team members on a wide variety of client needs that require a nimble mind and continuous curiosity. The Employee Experience team offers a flexible, accommodating, and close-knit community environment.

Basic Requirements:

• Minimum 15 years of client-facing experience in at least three of the following areas: strategic organizational communications, change management, culture, mergers & acquisitions, employee engagement (including applications of social media), internal communications research, and executive/management communications


• Bachelor's degree in journalism, English, organizational development, human resources, industrial psychology, communications, business administration or a related discipline from an accredited college or university.


• Can demonstrate superior writing, editing and presentation skills; project management skills; and consultative skills (including group facilitation, critical thinking, and client management)


• Client-service experience is highly preferred


• Comfortable with ambiguity and ability to partner with colleagues in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment


• Committed to advancing the possibilities of a human-centric employee experience.
