Account/Project Manager
We are looking for a passionate Account Manager to partner with and ensure the long-term success of our retainer clients. Our Account Managers (AMs) are the primary points of contact and project leads for our clients. They act as high-level leaders and strategists, facilitate amazing client experiences, and lead both the internal project team and the client successfully through projects and other work, mostly around website optimization and paid advertising.
Each AM generally works with six clients at a time (most of whom are on annual retainers) and with a dedicated internal production unit (strategist, developer, designer). Organization is key. An AM is under steady pressure to take information, organize it, and devise innovative strategies to effectively communicate client goals—all within the budget and timeline. If you’re self-motivated, positive, and don’t require too much handholding, you will thrive here.
