About the Role

Success in this role is measured by your ability to manage multi-channel digital media campaigns, develop data-driven strategies, and collaborate with internal media teams to drive measurable client success.

  • Develop and optimize digital media strategies across search, social, programmatic, display, and connected TV.
  • Work closely with internal media teams to oversee campaign execution, reporting, and optimizations.
  • Analyze performance data and KPIs to develop insights and recommendations for continuous improvement.
  • Ensure cross-channel integration , collaborating with various teams to deliver seamless media strategies.
  • Identify opportunities to improve campaign performance and budget allocation , rather than focusing on upselling.
  • Provide clear, strategic client reporting , translating data into meaningful insights.
  • Manage client budgets effectively and ensure financial forecasting is aligned with agency goals.
  • Handle complex client organizations and navigate internal/external stakeholders with confidence.

Qualifications & Experience

  • 2+ years of account management experience at a digital media agency (required).
  • Direct experience managing paid media campaigns , including search, social, display, programmatic, and connected TV.
  • Proven track record of working directly with clients , serving as their strategic partner and primary point of contact.
  • Strong understanding of performance marketing strategies and digital media analytics.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with internal media teams , ensuring smooth execution and optimization.
  • Experience translating data and insights into actionable client recommendations.
  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Comfort navigating ambiguity, adapting strategies, and driving forward-thinking solutions.
  • Candidates with primarily sales-focused account management experience will not be considered.

Benefits & Perks

  • Competitive salary
  • 100% premium-paid medical, dental, and vision benefits
  • 401K with employer contribution
  • Paid holidays & generous PTO
  • Remote work flexibility
  • Company donation match – you donate, we donate
