Our #1 Core Value: Be Responsible

Not as in, “be responsible adults” …because we most certainly are not. But as in, Take Responsibility . For yourself, for your clients, for the wins, and especially for the failures. We own mistakes, and use them as an opportunity to get better. The only two words you will never hear at this company are “fault” and “blame.” If this mindset does not resonate with you, please do not bother applying.

Job Description

Account Managers are the liaisons between the agency and its clients. They are the primary point of contact — handling all day-to-day client interactions, as well as managing the projects needed to foster client success. They work directly with the sales, fulfillment, and leadership teams to make sure that clients receive exceptional results and impeccable service.

An Account Manager is simultaneously an agency representative, project manager, and coach. As a result, they need strong organizational, time-management, and interpersonal skills. They must be prepared for a fast-paced environment, and be comfortable making decisions without direct supervision. They are committed to providing high-quality service above all else.

• Managing the entire client life-cycle, including launch calls, check-ins, billing, and offboarding calls

• Collecting client feedback and passing it along to the team to drive constant improvement
• Full-time position: between 35-45 hours a week depending on tasks

• Coachable — you are willing to participate in ongoing training and constantly push yourself to get better and better
• Team player — you are able to collaborate with a small team, ask for help when needed, and delegate tasks

• Direct Response Marketing experience, highly preferred
• Previous experience with remote working softwares preferred, including Asana, Slack, Zoom, etc.
