What we’re looking for in the ideal candidate

We’re looking for a Senior Account Manager who doesn’t want to be a small cog in a big agency, is passionate about technology, and wants to help great companies succeed.

You’re a fit if you’re results focused and have at least a five-year track record of developing PR strategy and placing technology companies in the tech and business press, can manage at least 3-4 accounts with little oversight, and care deeply about managing and developing people. Experience as a tech reporter/editor is a plus!

Karbo rewards for results and actively mentors and promotes from within. Compensation is competitive and will vary based on experience and skills. Our benefits are topflight and include generous cash bonuses, Friday afternoons off year-round, PTO, additional paid time off over the holidays/Flex days/Pet bereavement time off and voting days off, fully paid medical and dental premiums, a 401K plan, paid mobile data plans, conference attendance, fully paid educational opportunities, and quarterly outings such as Giants games, sailing, spa days, and Napa wine tasting trips.

Please only submit your resume if you meet the requirements above.

Performance bonuses

We pay bonuses to anyone who earns the respect of their team, clients and produces consistently excellent results. We also pay generous referral fees for new business and employee hires.

Company offsites

Each year, the entire agency goes away for a four-day planning meeting. We toast big client wins, discuss ways to improve the agency and emerge with a plan for the year ahead.

Anniversary gifts

From an Apple TV or similar gadget on your first anniversary to round-trip plane tickets anywhere in the U.S. on your fifth, we love rewarding people who grow with us.

Learn and grow

From paid development courses to a mentoring program that pairs employees with a different manager or executive each quarter, personal growth is a huge part of our company culture.
