Account Executive, Beauty, Wellness & LifestyleAbout AZIONE
AZIONE is not a traditional PR agency. We operate at the intersection of culture, media, and brand, building relevance, not just awareness.

This position may be based in New York City or Los Angeles. Our teams follow a hybrid work schedule, with a mix of in-office and remote work.

You understand today’s media ecosystem across:
- Beauty + wellness media
- Lifestyle + consumer publications
- Business + trade press
- Affiliate + commerce
- Creator + cultural ecosystems
- Cultural relevance + commercial impact
You’re naturally curious, proactive, highly organized, and constantly looking for opportunities to connect brands to the conversations shaping beauty, wellness, lifestyle, and modern consumer culture.
