Account Manager

Overview

Veritas – an award-winning marketing and PR agency - is in the market for a PR unicorn with a leadership mindset, who is equal parts creative and culturally dialed in. One who lives and breathes the music, entertainment and pop culture scene, and known as the person in your friend group who’s "always in the know".
