• Protect and grow client revenue through upweights, renewals and cross-sell opportunities
• Ensure timely forecasting and accurate reporting of financials and performance
• Maintain excellent internal process hygiene (status docs, briefings, timelines, POs)
• Spot inefficiencies and suggest new tools, tactics or services to improve our client offering
• Stay ahead of industry trends, competitor activity and client category news
• Champion new ideas—from creative asset suggestions to smarter ways of working
• Support the sales team at events and new business meetings when needed
• Share learnings and successes with the team, helping us all level up

• 3+ years of experience in a client-facing role within digital media, agency, or ad tech business
• Strong understanding of Programmatic Advertising and audience planning
• Exceptional communication, presentation and stakeholder management skills
• A proactive attitude with a creative, solutions-first mindset
