This role is ideal for a collaborative, consultative relationship builder who enjoys solving complex marketing challenges, translating campaign performance into meaningful insights, coordinating complex projects, and helping partners achieve their enrollment and marketing goals.

This hire may be based in Philadelphia, PA, Richmond, VA, or Washington, D.C. During the first three months, you’ll work in-office five days per week to build strong connections with the team and gain hands‑on experience. After onboarding, you’ll transition to a hybrid schedule of three days in-office (Mon, Tues, Thurs) and two days remote (Wed, Fri).

Primary Responsibilities:

• Support Senior Account Managers in managing the day-to-day relationships for a portfolio of strategic higher education partners, ensuring a high level of service and partner satisfaction.

• Develop campaign insights, performance summaries, and strategic recommendations to support partner meetings, business reviews, and ongoing optimization efforts.

• Translate campaign data into meaningful insights and benchmarking that demonstrate performance, identify opportunities, and support reporting to partners.

• Monitor campaign progress, proactively identify risks or roadblocks, and coordinate solutions to keep projects on track.

• Identify opportunities to strengthen existing partner relationships through additional services, products, or strategic initiatives.

• Support business development efforts by contributing to proposals, presentations, and onboarding activities for new partners.

• Stay informed on higher education marketing trends, digital advertising best practices, and emerging technologies to better support partners.

• Strong organization and project management skills with exceptional attention to detail.

• Excellent written, verbal, and presentation communication skills.

Ideal Qualifications:

• Experience working within a digital marketing or advertising agency.

• Experience supporting higher education or other mission‑driven organizations.

• Familiarity with Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, display advertising, programmatic media, or similar digital marketing channels.

• Experience using Google Analytics (GA4) or other analytics platforms.

• Experience presenting campaign results and recommendations to external stakeholders.
