Senior Account Manager

Senior Account Manager — Influencer Marketing

New York, NY | Hybrid (3 days in office) | Full-Time | Permanent

About Our Client
We are partnering with a global, award-winning social media and influencer marketing agency to find an exceptional Senior Account Manager for their growing New York team. Our client works with some of the world's most recognizable brands across beauty, fashion, and retail, delivering large-scale, end-to-end influencer and social campaigns that drive real business results.

The US team is scaling fast and this is a rare opportunity to join early, own significant accounts from day one, and grow into senior leadership. Multiple members of their global team have gone from account management into Head of Client Servicing and Managing Director roles within five to six years. That path is real and available to the right person.

About the Role
As Senior Account Manager, you will be a trusted point of contact for some of the agency's most important clients. Working closely with strategy, creative, paid social, design, and tech teams, you will independently lead accounts, manage campaign delivery end to end, and develop junior team members around you. Each SAM owns a distinct account from day one — either a major beauty brand, an iconic US fashion brand, or a group of leading retail clients.
