Sr. Strategic Accounts Manager (Client Services)

Linqia is an innovative start-up in the growing influencer marketing industry. Located in downtown New York, you'll be working with others who are passionate about marketing in a fun, fast-paced and data-driven environment.

At Linqia, we deliver guaranteed influencer marketing results for our clients, by working with some of the world's largest brands including Danonne, AB InBev, Kimberly-Clark, Unilever, and Walmart. Our AI-driven platform and team of experts are leading the transformation of influencer marketing into a scalable media channel.

We thrive on innovation and accountability, with a customer first attitude that adds true value to everything we touch. Our team members are smart, hard-working, have integrity and love to have fun as we play to win.

The Role:

The Senior Strategic Accounts Manager is a critical client partner role: part relationship lead, part strategic advisor, part team leader. You'll own a portfolio of enterprise brand relationships end to end, setting strategic direction, managing senior stakeholders, and leading the internal pod of team members behind each program from pre-IO through campaign wrap. You'll be expected to bring a point of view, not just execute a brief, and act as consultative partners to clients.

This role also carries real mentorship responsibility, supporting and coaching Program Managers and Customer Success Managers within your pod, and helping shape a growth-oriented culture on a team that's expanding quickly.

The Senior Strategic Accounts Manager reports into Linqia's VP of Customer Operations.

What You'll Do:

• Own the client experience: exceed expectations, build long-term partnerships, and lead strategic channel planning in partnership with creative, customer success, sales, and paid media.
• Manage campaign oversight against signed IOs, meeting business KPIs while managing scope and profitability.
• Establish and grow relationships with multiple senior client stakeholders through demonstrated industry and influencer expertise.
• Lead and mentor the cross-functional pod working on your programs
• Partner with internal teams to evaluate campaign performance against original objectives and identify revenue and renewal opportunities.
• Stay ahead of industry trends and share knowledge across the team.
  
  

Qualifications:

• 7 years of client management and media (or influencer) experience within agencies, platforms, or brand-side marketing teams.
• Experience at a boutique or mid-size agency is a strong plus—we're looking for an owner mindset: someone who's used to running things themselves rather than waiting to be told.
• A track record of, or genuine interest in, mentoring and developing more junior teammates.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity, with the judgment to push back thoughtfully on scope and creatively problem-solve rather than defaulting to yes or no.
• Driven by client satisfaction, with proven success managing senior-level relationships and complex, fast-moving programs.
• Entrepreneurial self-starter, comfortable setting your own deadlines and benchmarks.
• Bachelor's degree required.
