SCOPE OF THE ROLE
We’re looking for a sharp, client-facing Account Manager who thrives in fast-paced agency environments, owns client outcomes end-to-end, and operates effectively under ambiguity. This is a high-impact role focused on client retention, strategic execution, and delivering measurable performance across paid social campaigns.

You’ll act as the central hub between clients and internal teams—owning communication, driving strategy, and ensuring seamless execution across multiple accounts. This is not a passive account management role—you are expected to think strategically, challenge assumptions, and proactively drive results.

If you’re someone who can translate data into clear narratives, manage multiple stakeholders without dropping details, and push campaigns forward with urgency and clarity, this role is for you.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Own and manage a portfolio of 20 client accounts, ensuring retention and long-term growth

Serve as the primary point of contact for all client communication and relationship management

Lead client calls, including performance reviews, strategy discussions, and campaign planning

Develop and refine paid social strategies, with a strong focus on Meta platforms

Translate performance data into clear, actionable insights and recommendations

Collaborate cross-functionally with design, ad operations, and analytics teams to execute campaigns

Manage creative production workflows, ensuring timely delivery of assets

Set clear expectations with clients and proactively communicate updates, risks, and opportunities

Identify performance gaps and proactively adjust strategy to improve outcomes

Balance multiple priorities and deadlines across a high volume of accounts

Act as the internal “translator” between client needs and execution teams

Contribute to improving internal processes, reporting, and client experience

REQUIREMENTS

3–4+ years of experience in paid social advertising, with deep expertise in Meta Ads

Strong client-facing experience in a marketing agency environment

Proven experience managing multiple accounts simultaneously (high-volume portfolio preferred)

Strong understanding of performance marketing metrics (CPA, ROAS, CTR, etc.)

Exceptional communication skills—both written and verbal

Highly organized with strong attention to detail

Ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-changing environments

Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams (design, media buying, analytics)

Strong problem-solving skills and ability to think strategically under pressure

NICE TO HAVE

Experience working with legal, SaaS, or B2B clients

Exposure to multi-channel campaigns (CTV, audio, programmatic, etc.)

Experience with data/reporting tools and dashboards

Familiarity with creative testing frameworks and performance optimization

WHO YOU ARE

Client-obsessed: You prioritize client outcomes and think in terms of retention and growth, not just delivery

Strategic thinker: You don’t just report numbers—you interpret them and push for better performance

Operationally strong: You can manage multiple moving parts without things falling through the cracks

Clear communicator: You simplify complexity, manage expectations, and handle tough conversations with confidence

Adaptable operator: You’re comfortable with ambiguity and can step outside your role when needed

Ownership mindset: You take full responsibility for your accounts and act proactively, not reactively
