• Presenting data and insights to tell a clear and compelling story of impact
• Develop and mentor reports through coaching, consistently providing feedback, holding them accountable, conducting their reviews, and overseeing their professional development
• Demonstrate an expert understanding of the data & analytics space and communications, your client's industries, competitive environments, businesses and business plans
• Serve as a day-to-day team/client contact and lead team's work including reviewing and editing all client materials
• Provide solutions and suggestions to senior staff about how to troubleshoot client-related problems and help team respond to crisis situations
• Manage financial operations for client accounts; oversee creation and ongoing monitoring of program budgets
• Be responsible for reviewing and editing all written materials developed by account team and assist team members with fine-tuning their writing skills
• Manage the flow of account work among junior team members to ensure that client objectives are met
• Act as "champion" of the team and ensure that the staff is motivated, engaged and working to potential and proactively give team members feedback
• Contribute to new business development, including leading RFP responses, proposal writing, client pitches and prospecting
• Become involved in recruiting and evaluate potential new hires to determine if they would work well with Prosek
