About 1UP Digital

1UP Digital Marketing is a performance-driven digital marketing agency that believes great marketing starts with great relationships. Since 2013, we’ve helped ambitious organizations grow online by combining strategic thinking, strong execution, and exceptional client service.

About You

• You are a relationship-first Account Manager who also loves rolling up your sleeves to get things done and seeing businesses thrive with digital marketing

• You’re organized, proactive, and see account management as both a client-facing and operational role. You want ownership, influence, and a clear growth path within a high-performing agency.
