Qualifications

• Significant experience in senior account management, project management, production, integrated marketing, experiential, partnerships, or a closely related agency environment.
• Proven experience independently owning complex client accounts or projects from onboarding through final delivery.
• Experience managing multiple client accounts and workstreams simultaneously in a fast-moving environment.
• Strong client-facing experience, including leading meetings, presenting plans and timelines, managing expectations, and navigating difficult conversations.
• Experience coordinating cross-functional teams across production, creative, marketing, operations, vendors, agencies, talent, and external partners.
• Meaningful experience with social and content campaigns, influencer and talent activations, podcasts, events, experiences, partnerships, or similarly complex production work.
• Working knowledge of project budgets, vendor quotes, spend tracking, actuals, and financial risk, while partnering with Finance for approvals and payments.
• Evidence of making day-to-day decisions independently and knowing when to elevate.
• Strong systems thinking and the ability to create structure when a process does not already exist.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to be concise with senior stakeholders and detailed when execution requires it.
• High ownership, resourcefulness, follow-through, and comfort operating in ambiguity.
• Demonstrable AI fluency. Not only using AI tools day to day, but building workflows and automations with them.
• Comfortable working inside a project management workspace. We run on Notion. Direct Notion experience is a strong plus, but not a requirement if you've run complex delivery inside a comparable system.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of assigned client accounts once the commercial agreement or project scope has been finalized.
• Serve as the primary day-to-day point of contact for assigned clients and partners.
• Lead the transition from pre-sale to execution and ensure what was sold is translated accurately into delivery.
• Maintain a clear understanding of each account's scope, deliverables, timelines, priorities, commitments, exclusivities, and expectations.
• Build trusted relationships with clients and represent the company confidently in meetings and ongoing communications.
• Manage expectations throughout execution and proactively communicate material changes, risks, delays, or dependencies.
• Identify renewal, upsell, partnership, or additional business opportunities and bring them back to the Production Lead for commercial follow-up.
• Escalate major scope, commercial, strategic, or sensitive relationship decisions when needed.
• Own client onboarding once a project is signed.
• Lead kickoff meetings with clients and internal teams.
• Review agreements, scopes, deliverables, working budgets, stakeholders, timelines, approval processes, and dependencies before execution begins.
• Translate signed scopes into clear execution plans, milestones, owners, workstreams, and next steps.
• Establish communication cadence, reporting expectations, approval flows, and sources of truth from the beginning.
• Lead day-to-day project decision-making within agreed scope and priorities.
• Keep projects moving without requiring the Production Lead to chase progress or manage individual tasks.
• Ensure deliverables are completed, approved, and closed.
