Vice President - Technology - Edelman - New York

Job description
Edelman Technology understands that what matters most to people isn’t just technology itself, it’s the connections technology enables– to people, ideas and communities. It’s the way technology helps us to work and play smarter and live better. So while we’re skilled at building compelling brand narratives for companies and their leaders and communicating product details – that’s not all we do.

We speak fluent bits, bytes, pixels and polygons. But even that isn’t enough. As the tech industry has evolved, so has Edelman. We’re the team that launched Xbox in 2001 and helped it grow into a pop culture icon with the launch of Kinect for Xbox 360 a decade later. We steered Adobe to top ratings and more than 60 awards. And we helped Samsung build a global reputation with
staying power. Our subject matter experts don’t stand alone, they work collectively. We develop 360- degree solutions that target everyone from policy makers to partners, shareholders to customers.
