VP, Client Services at Social-first Creative Agency
2 days ago | Be among the first 25 applicants.
Want to lead some of the most exciting work in the industry, on the cutting edge of social? Want to help grow one of the fastest‑growing agencies in the US? Want to represent a company whose brand is so strong that we get unsolicited clients reaching out every week?
As the VP of Client Services, you’ll lead the client P&L for the Movers+Shakers business and own the relationship and revenue growth across our accounts. Internally, you’ll lead our cross‑functional team to deliver innovative work, balancing pricing, resourcing, and revenue/profitability. Externally, you’ll guide clients toward the success they dreamed of, intuiting their needs and inspiring them with what’s possible.
We’re looking for a savvy business leader who deeply understands an agency P&L and how we grow, and equally knows a client CMO’s business struggles. A socially‑native thinker who can use social media to drive key client outcomes is essential.
Intrigued? Read on.
