Senior Account Executive

About Us

At Tegan, we’re a tight-knit digital-first, full-service agency passionate about meaningful design and thoughtful strategy. We partner with like-minded brands and clients to create impactful work with creativity, craftsmanship, and a true dedication to people at the heart of everything we do. Join our team, and you’ll be a part of a space where creativity thrives, collaboration shines, and bold thinking is always encouraged.

We’re looking for a Senior Account Executive who knows agency life inside and out. Someone who has carried client relationships before, understands the rhythm of scopes and deadlines, and is ready to bring that experience to our team.

This isn’t an entry-level role. We’re looking for someone with 3-5 years experience who can lead small accounts independently (with support from account leadership) and provide hands‑on support for mid- to large‑sized clients. You’ll act as a trusted partner to your clients and a brand advocate internally – keeping projects on scope, on brief, and on strategy, while staying close to industry trends and competitive landscape that shape our clients’ decisions.

What You’ll Do

Client & Project Ownership

• Lead small‑sized accounts (with support of account leadership) and support mid- to large‑sized clients
• Partner with clients to align on project priorities against the scope of work
• Partner with Project Managers to execute internal deliverables on time and on budget
• Attend internal reviews to ensure project deliverables are on brief before they go to the client
• Maintain client status documents to keep external parties aligned on priorities and next steps
• Deliver external meeting recaps with clear action items to both the client and the internal working team

Brand Strategy & Insights

• Develop brand-focused creative briefs
• Champion strategies that position the client’s brand, including target audience, key messaging, and value proposition
• Conduct ongoing competitive analysis and monitor industry trends to inform client recommendations
• Partner with Senior Account Director/Account Supervisors to pull together well‑reasoned recommendations for client consideration
• Report to the Senior Account Director and meet for biweekly 1:1s for ongoing mentorship
• Build and maintain strong relationships with key client contacts, acting as a trusted extension of their team
• Establish strong internal relationships across departments and disciplines to keep work moving smoothly

Reporting & Performance

• Partner with Project Managers to execute monthly performance reporting decks
• Provide insights and recommendations based on the compiled monthly and quarterly performance data

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of experience in account management or client services at an agency — this is not an entry‑level role
• An understanding of executing against scopes, timelines, and how to manage multiple workstreams at once
• Strategic, critical thinking with strong problem‑solving instincts
• Curiosity around market research and consumer behavior
• An eye for creative direction and storytelling, to be the brand champion
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with confidence presenting to clients
• A collaborative, solution‑oriented approach and the flexibility that comes with working at a smaller agency
• Exposure to paid media and/or website development projects is a plus
• Unlimited PTO
• Health insurance
• Relaxed/casual office environment
