Are you an overachiever who likes to punch above their weight class?

We are looking for more ambitious, fast-moving “10X” digital marketers with the right can-do attitude and technical chops to help manage our excellent clients as we scale up our operations – all while growing revenues by guiding existing accounts through branding, web development, digital marketing, and IT activities.

Please note this is a "Up, specialize, or out" position. Within 18-24 months, we expect you to either specialize as according to your strengths (Example: Digital Marketing), move up (Example: Account Strategist or Project Manager), or move on to another opportunity if you prefer to grow your career at a slower pace.

We are looking for a rockstar with the following qualities:

    • COMMUNICATE PROACTIVELY: Proactive communication helps us focus on identifying new opportunities and solving potential problems before they occur.
    • BE ON TIME: A promise is a promise. Clients rely on us to be on time with results and deliverable's.
    • DO WORK YOU ARE PROUD OF: It is tempting to cut corners when facing multiple deadlines. Take pride in your work, and only deliver work you can be truly proud of. Anything less is cheating yourself and our clients.
    • STAY ORGANIZED: You will be handling multiple accounts and support tickets while performing some billable work of your own. Being able to stay organized and remain focused as you switch from one account to another one will be paramount to your success.
    • LISTEN PURPOSEFULLY: All client contacts should help achieve a goal or help solve a problem. To do so, you must know what to listen for and what to do with the information you hear.
    • KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOALS AND TASKS: Goals force you to focus, prioritize ruthlessly, and be accountable for results; going through tasks without goals create busy work with very low impact for ourselves and for clients.
    • CARE MORE THAN THE CLIENT: A Golden Rule at Smartt is that we always care more than the client. If something goes wrong, we worry about the problem 10x more then the client so they don’t have to.
    • FORM GREAT RELATIONSHIPS: Great relationships are a barrier to competitors and also help keep things together when there is a problem.
    • PUSH BOUNDARIES: Great work comes from being grounded in the present while pushing boundaries. Pushing boundaries proactively help our clients stay ahead of competition.
    • BE BELIEVABLE: Clients trust Account Managers who are more than a mailbox. They want someone with technical chops who can diagnose problems and recommend the right approach, along with the communication skills to convince stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

This is a challenging and fast-paced position that will require 110% of your heart. In a nutshell, we’ve created a record of success with our existing client base and we’re looking to expand our success by bringing on new team members.  Depending on your technical skills, you will execute implementation and account management work on various accounts while guiding them through the Branding-Web Development-Digital Marketing-IT Services lifecycle. This will allow us to scale our team and revenues to meet our quite aggressive growth targets. We’re a well-oil machine getting compliments from our clients every day and a well-coiled spring ready to take on the world with a small tribe of action-oriented believers.
