Matter is an independent and thriving brand elevation agency unifying PR, creative services, and marketing. 

As we’ve grown, we’ve maintained focus on building and nurturing an inclusive, team-oriented and creative environment because we know that when we tap into our collective brainpower we come up with inspired solutions for our clients, and because it makes for a happy place to work. We work with people we like and can learn from, making our jobs a positive aspect of a balanced life.  At Matter, we prioritize employee diversity, equity and inclusion and value everyone’s unique story. We’re proud of the many awards that we’ve garnered as a Top Place to Work and as a Top Agency in the US, but we’re equally as proud of the many organizations that we’ve helped through our agency-wide volunteer initiative.  If you’re the kind of professional that takes their work seriously, but also doesn’t take themselves too seriously, this could be the place to grow your career. 

We’re currently looking for a creative, results-focused Account Coordinator to join our PR team. You'll play a key supporting role in executing client PR programs through traditional media channels.

Here’s a mix of what you’ll be doing day to day:

  • Secure client media opportunities in trade, consumer, business media and other outlets
  • Conduct reliable and accurate media research (editorial calendars, speaking opportunities, media/analyst list development) and provide teams with industry-relevant news and research
  • Produce strong written documents, including pitches, speaking opportunity abstracts, client communications, etc.
  • Actively participate in client/team meetings, offering creative ideas/solutions

Along with creativity, drive and self-motivation, your previous experience and attributes will include:

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent relevant business experience
  • 1+ years of PR experience working with b2b and b2c clients via internships. Prior agency experience is a big plus!
  • Strong interest in the tech and consumer fields and desire to work with clients in those industries
  • Adaptable, engaged, and nimble in environments that can be dynamic or fast-paced.
  • A lifelong learner with an inquisitive mind and a willingness to receive feedback
  • Collaborative, dependable, and a team player excited to promote a positive work environment 
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills

Why Matter? A healthy culture requires healthy, happy people. That’s why Matter goes above and beyond to provide exceptional benefits, fun bonuses, and culture perks to our workforce. These include:

  • Exceptional company culture, monthly FUN events in all offices, happy hours, and surprise rewards throughout the year.
  • A comprehensive time-off plan that includes PTO, sick time, a yearly winter break, birthdays off, short Fridays EVERY week, and other out of office time to support work/life balance.
  • Competitive salaries, and lots of room for long-term growth and development
  • Top notch health, dental, and vision plans
  • Extensive and ever-growing programs for diversity, equity and inclusion, plus a variety of specialized employee resource groups, diversity focused events and initiatives, and more.
  • Paid volunteer time through our Helping Hands program.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026
Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
