About Ogilvy

Ogilvy is a global marketing and advertising agency founded in 1948 by David Ogilvy. Our mission is to inspire people and brands to make an impact, and we are committed to attracting, growing, and retaining the best talent in the industry.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly driven and detail-oriented Senior Account Executive with a background in community engagement and/or risk communications. This role will primarily support our continued work with FEMA, with whom Ogilvy has a long-standing client relationship.

The Community Engagement and Risk Communication (CERC) contract focuses on growing awareness of, and resilience towards natural disasters in American communities and equitable distribution of federal grants. As the country and Tribal nations continue to come to terms with the long-term effects of climate change, this work is increasingly important.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with a federal agency and a large, integrated team encompassing a network of behavior change, disaster resilience, risk communications, emergency management, community outreach, partnership building, community planning, and engineering experts to engage a broad array of national and local decision makers and influencers.

The team's work is centered around issues of natural disaster mitigation, climate change adaptation, and capacity building to empower communities to drive resilience. This unique program functions on national, regional, and community levels, and is extremely dynamic with many moving parts.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support and coordinate outreach with rural communities and tribal nations to support their resilience goals.
  • Serve as key day-to-day project contact with clients, creative teams, and other agency partners.
  • Manage client objectives, expectations and timelines and communicate changes/directions to internal team members.
  • Mobilize and drive the integrated team towards progress and completion of all scoped deliverables.
  • Understand staffing and scoping requirements.
  • Own project management/workflow system data entry and reporting.
  • Identify potential project risks and develop contingency plans.
  • Research, write, and oversee the development of communications materials including guides, presentations, videos, web copy, social media, toolkits, and more.
  • Plan and execute events, including community consultations, virtual and in-person meetings.
  • Participate in the agency's new business and proposal efforts, as requested by leadership.

Requirements

  • Interest in and knowledge of climate change resilience and/or hazard mitigation at the local, state, or federal level.
  • Familiarity with or interest in equity-centered approaches to community engagement and program delivery.
  • 3-5 years of related, client facing industry experience managing the delivery of great work.
  • Account experience delivering programs in public relations, marketing, or communications with background in digital and social media, materials development, media relations, and partnership outreach.
  • Ability to work with and manage sub-contractors and vendor relationships.
  • Ability to think strategically about issues, equitable delivery of agency and client support, and message development.
