Responsibilities
- Lead the vision. Communicate a clear sense of purpose that teams want to rally behind. Make the vision shareable and inspire people across the organization to move with it. Set the strategic direction for the account functions, and align the team around how we show up for clients
- Be the connective tissue. Maintain visibility across the groups and departments within your discipline. Surface patterns, risks, and opportunities to ELT, and connect the dots that individual teams can't see on their own. You're the person who sees the whole board and keeps leadership informed
- Build the client service model: Establish the client service model the whole team operates by, standardizing practices, cadences, and ways of working so our approach is consistent across every account. Lead new client onboarding, account planning, quarterly business reviews, and successful renewals as repeatable, best-in-class motions
- Grow and expand scope. Own organic growth across the portfolio. Spot where we can deepen existing relationships, build the case for new scopes of work, and lead the strategy, scoping, and pricing conversations that turn those opportunities into signed business.

Champion thought leadership alongside our clients, bringing them into industry events and forums to showcase work, discuss relevant topics, and build relationships in person. Set direction for the whole portfolio, step into high-stakes conversations, and personally lead the relationships and work where your presence matters most, ensuring best-in-class delivery across every client
- Show up in person. We're a remote company, but we know the strongest relationships happen in person. You may travel 1-2 times per month on average to be with your clients and your team
- Drive new and existing business. Identify and pursue opportunities to win net-new clients. Stay active in new business beyond your own group's book, bringing senior credibility and pitch presence wherever it's needed. Lead and contribute to pitches with confidence and authority, from early positioning through final presentation
- Build the team. Build and lead a first-class account team. Manage and develop talent within your discipline, providing clear career paths, real coaching, and accountability while fostering a collaborative, high-performing culture. Right-size staffing against the work, and develop the next layer of account leadership beneath you
- Champion AI across the function. Lead how we integrate AI into account operations and client work. You understand how AI is reshaping creative production, social listening, content velocity, and client deliverables, and you help teams adopt these tools thoughtfully
- Navigate the organization. Get things done through both formal and informal channels. Maneuver complex situations with ease, anticipate what's coming, and seize the right opportunities for change
- Solve and deliver. Learn quickly when facing new problems and experiment to find winning solutions. Pursue everything with energy and drive, and stay steady in the face of resistance or setbacks
