We are looking for an up-and-coming digital marketing hero with the drive, energy, and intellect to become a cross-functional Senior Account Strategist one day. The perfect candidate will have the right skills and attitude to help manage our excellent clients immediately – all while honing their skills across branding, web development, digital marketing and IT to get promoted to a more senior role.

This is a different Account Manager role than you will find at the typical agency. The traditional Account Manager role entails acting as a mailbox for more technical or creative team members. We believe clients should get value from every interaction, and fully expect you to be able to execute the work (or learn to execute the work) so you can create a WOW experience with every client interaction.

Are you up for the challenge?
