JSR Strategies is a brand alignment and implementation partner for mission‑driven organizations. We don't just build brands, websites, and campaigns — we make them work. Our systems are understood, adopted, and protected across teams, partners, and channels. For sustainability, health, arts, and government organizations competing against giants, JSR turns creative strategy into operational advantage.
Our Account Director (Part‑Time) is a senior, strategic individual contributor focused on client service, relationship management, and account leadership. This is not a project management role — JSR has a talented team of full‑time project managers who handle execution. Your job is to be the strategic brain and trusted voice for your clients, bringing the big‑picture thinking that keeps their work sharp, focused, and moving forward. Your primary focus will be clean energy and sustainability clients, though you’ll flex with business needs as they evolve.

Responsibilities

- Drive brand and business strategy: identify opportunities to strengthen client positioning, sharpen messaging, and elevate campaign effectiveness

- Collaborate with JSR’s project managers to ensure strategic intent translates into excellent execution — without micromanaging the day‑to‑day
