The Role

As an Account Manager Intern, you'll be embedded in our agency's day-to-day operations — working alongside our team to support client accounts, learn our systems, and develop the skills that make a great AM.

• Support basic reporting and performance documentation
• Help maintain internal hubs and system documentation

Growth & Exposure

• Work toward being trusted with greater responsibility over time

What We're Looking For

• Is a confident communicator
• Has genuine interest in account management and a desire to grow into a full-time AM role
• Demonstrates leadership qualities: takes ownership, follows through, and doesn't wait to be told what to do next
• Is a problem‑solver who approaches challenges with a solution‑first mindset
• Can manage their own time and workload after proper training
• Is flexible and adaptable — agency work is fast‑moving and no two days are the same
• Has strong attention to detail and takes pride in delivering quality work
• Is comfortable with Google Drive, email, and basic digital tools
