Marketing Account Executive

The Account Executive (AE) manages relationships and scopes of work between the agency and clients. Acting as the main liaison, the AE ensures client goals are met across projects, oversees marketing budgets and strategies, and maintains strong relationships. Reporting to the SVP, the AE supports client growth through strategic planning, collaboration, and execution rooted in insights and data. Candidates must be highly organized, proactive, and adaptable—capable of managing multiple stakeholders, understanding client objectives, and delivering professional, accurate, and timely results.
