• Spot shifts in client business priorities early and flag them to senior leadership before they become problems
• Identify upsell and growth opportunities, and partner with delivery teams to bring them to clients
• Negotiate contracts and fee arrangements.
• Own client budget management: track spend against scope, forecast accurately, flag overages early, and make sure billable work maps to what was sold
• Present strategic thinking in planning sessions, client summits, and industry conferences
• De‑escalate challenging client situations with solutions that rebuild trust
• Mentor and develop account managers on your accounts
• Travel up to 15% as needed

Requirements

• BA in business, advertising, marketing, or related field.
• 5+ years of account management experience in global professional services companies, preferably from the digital/mobile advertising space.
• Experience managing top tier clients with larger marketing budgets.
• Proven, hands‑on experience in project management; exceptional ability to accurately estimate effort and resources required to complete complex projects and build detailed project Gantts with subtasks accordingly.
• Business‑savvy approach, with the ability to translate client brief and business needs into data and campaign requirements.
• Strong ability to multitask, manage multiple complex workstreams simultaneously, and thrive in a diverse, fast‑paced environment while collaborating across functions and teams globally and time efficiently (e.g. clients in SF, the delivery team in Israel).
• Dynamic personality, able to effectively engage and influence a variety of audiences – a true people person.
• Excellent written, presentation, management, listening, and interpersonal skills.
• Proficiency with Asana (or similar PM tools) and Salesforce is a significant advantage.
• Managerial experience is a plus.
