Job description

OUR MISSION

We firmly believe that small and medium-sized businesses are the most vital contributors to their communities. We strive every day to not only support the growth and profit improvement of American businesses, but to enrich the lives of the owners and their families. By supporting these businesses, we can directly impact the communities they serve. We meet businesses where they are. How can we help you move forward today?

The Marketing Account Manager serves as the strategic lead for a portfolio of client accounts. This role is responsible for executing/adapting marketing strategies, managing client relationships, coordinating internal resources, and ensuring initiatives are delivered on time and produce measurable results.
