They’ll oversee a team of four, manage strategic planning and day-to-day execution, and partner closely with internal creative, production, and events teams to ensure world-class delivery.

• Work cross-functionally with internal teams—creative, media production, print, and event specialists—to ensure smooth delivery
• Guide strategic thinking and translate client business needs into actionable creative briefs
• Manage scopes of work, timelines, budgets, and reporting with accuracy and transparency
• Cultivate a culture of innovation, collaboration, and creative bravery within the team

Qualifications:

• 8+ years in account or client service roles, with at least 2 years managing direct reports
• Experience at a creative or brand experience agency 
• Strong B2B background with a focus on content, experiential, and event marketing
• Track record of building trusted relationships with senior clients and internal teams
• Excellent communication, presentation, and organizational skills
• Skilled at writing and managing scopes, budgets, and timelines
• Comfortable with project management systems
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience

• Join a nimble, forward-thinking agency during a time of exciting growth
• Work with top-tier talent across creative, production, and experiential disciplines
• Flexibility in work environment, with occasional global travel
• Be part of a culture that values authenticity, innovation, and bold ideas

Benefits:

• Competitive medical coverage
• Company-paid life insurance
• 401(k) plan
• 4 weeks PTO + paid holidays
