Vice President, Executive Visibility (Finance)
Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum.
We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging.
Edelman is seeking a Vice President to join our Corporate Health team with a focus on Executive Visibility.

About You:
You're a sharp communicator and natural relationship builder who knows how to elevate an executive voice with purpose and precision.

You stay current on leadership trends, cultural conversations, and business relevance and understand how executive visibility ladders into corporate reputation and brand trust. You love shaping stories and building programs that create meaningful attention and thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments
Responsibilities:
- Lead and support executive visibility programs, including media outreach, speaking engagement strategy, and award submissions
- Develop and refine executive content including LinkedIn posts, op-eds, talking points, and thought leadership materials
- Help clients tell complex stories in clear, compelling, and accessible ways
- Coach and prepare leaders for public speaking, media interviews, and panel appearances
- Collaborate with media teams to pitch executives for profiles, commentary, and event opportunities
