Job Description

About Us

At We., we've spent decades at the intersection of technology and humanity, bridging the gap between what businesses create and how people experience those creations. We've learned that beneath even the most unruly situations — whether it's a global crisis, an emerging technology, or a sweeping organizational change—lies a simple human need. That need could be for trust, connection, safety, or a sense of purpose. But it’s always there. And it is only by uncovering these truths that we can make real, meaningful progress.

About the Role

We are looking for an Account Director to serve as a trusted partner on one of our most dynamic and high-profile accounts, Adobe. This role is ideal for someone who is deeply invested in the business, thrives in fast-moving environments, and is ready to operate as an extension of both the client and agency leadership team.

The Account Director will lead integrated communications programs that sit at the intersection of product innovation, generative AI, and creative culture—driving storytelling that resonates with creative professionals and industry influencers. This person will play a critical role in shaping and executing product launch moments, while also building sustained narrative momentum across earned, owned, and influencer channels.

Success in this role requires strong client instincts, the ability to navigate ambiguity with confidence, and a commitment to building long-term trust. Our clients value individuals who show up as true partners—those who are accountable, solutions-oriented, and consistently bring strategic thinking to the table.

While the team is open to candidates based on the West Coast, priority will be given to those in San Francisco, CA.
