Position Overview

  • Lead weekly client calls, monthly look back/look forward meetings, quarterly business reviews, and performance discussions, along with annual planning
  • Translate business objectives into integrated marketing strategies.
  • Ensure all deliverables align with agreed KPIs and business outcomes.
  • Maintain disciplined communication with clients and internal teams.
  • Work with internal teams to develop, maintain and adhere to schedules and plans as outlined by outcomes team and client SOW

  • Identify and close upsell and cross-sell opportunities within existing accounts.
  • Drive account expansion through strategic recommendations.

Applicants should already be operating as the strategic lead on client accounts within an agency setting.
