About Us:
Odessa exists for brands with known enemies, that categorize themselves as challengers. Our job is to be the weapon of choice for every David in their fight against Goliath. To that end, we specialize in brand strategy and storytelling --- and that’s it.
Our Culture:
It’s about getting sh** done and building something bigger than yourself. We don’t hide behind fancy job titles or set up bureaucratic processes. Instead we treat our people fairly and give them a ton of freedom and autonomy to create something awesome. We are reinventing communications and adding new members to our team each month. We’re on the hunt for exceptional talent to help us scale our business, values and philosophy.
What We Need:
We’re looking for a Senior Account Executive to sit within our PR team and be based in Manhattan, New York City.
