Who we are looking for

We are looking for a highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented Account Executive to join our team. In this role, you will be the engine that keeps our projects running smoothly, ensuring efficiency and hitting every goal along the way. The ideal candidate is a master multitasker with a passion for marketing and advertising, someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and loves building strong relationships with both clients and internal teams. If you are financially savvy, great at managing timelines, and ready to make great ideas happen, we want to meet you!

What you’ll do

• Project Planning & Management: Craft detailed project plans, define scopes, build timelines, and allocate resources alongside the Account Supervisor.

• Budget & Timeline Tracking: Keep a close eye on project progress and budgets, proactively identifying potential delays and optimizing costs without compromising quality.

• Client Communication: Serve as the main point of contact for client briefs and feedback, while staying up-to-date on your client's industry trends.

• Meeting Coordination: Schedule, facilitate, and document internal and client meetings, ensuring everyone is aligned on agreements and next steps.

• Reporting & Presentations: Design clear, concise status reports and compelling presentations for both internal and external audiences.

• Team Support: Back up the Account Supervisor with strategic planning, problem-solving, and the creation of new business proposals and pitches.

• Admin & Finance Management: Own the administrative workflow using Advertmind—from uploading estimates and securing client approvals to gathering campaign evidence and tracking the billing and invoicing process.

• Document Control: Maintain an organized, up-to-date archive of all relevant project documentation (briefs, contracts, approvals, etc.) so the team always has what they need.

What you’ll need

• Proven experience as an Account Executive, Project Manager, or a similar role, preferably within a creative, marketing, or tech agency.

• Exceptional organizational and time-management skills, with a relentless attention to detail.

• Strong financial awareness for budget tracking, estimate management, and billing follow-ups.

• Stellar communication and presentation skills—you know how to read a room, manage stakeholders, and deliver a message clearly.

• A proactive, problem-solving mindset and the ability to work collaboratively in a dynamic environment.

• Tech-savviness and familiarity with agency management software.

We believe the best work happens when we're together, fostering creativity, collaboration, and connection. That's why we’ve adopted a hybrid approach, with teams in the office an average of four days a week. If you require accommodations or flexibility, please discuss this with the hiring team during the interview process.
