Account Manager, Fashion
Job DescriptionWe're looking for an Account Manager to join AZIONE's Fashion Division on the Media + Brand team, supporting a portfolio of consumer fashion, retail, and contemporary designer accounts. This is not a traditional publicity role. It's a strategic, culturally plugged-in position for someone who understands how fashion brands build relevance today across media, retail, celebrity, partnerships, and consumer conversation.
You should have a strong pulse on the evolving fashion and media landscape, from luxury and contemporary fashion to retail disruption, creator influence, and cultural storytelling. You know how to translate a brand's product, founder story, business growth, or campaign into meaningful editorial opportunities and culturally resonant moments.
You understand the modern media ecosystem across:
- Fashion + retail media
- Business + consumer press
- Thought leadership & Founder positioning
- Cultural relevance + commercial impact
You don't simply react to trends, you anticipate where the conversation is headed and position brands at the center of it.
