About Paradowski

Paradowski Creative is an independent, full-service creative agency based in St. Louis. We bring strategy, creativity, technology, and craft together to create experiences that spark curiosity, invite participation, and help brands build meaningful connections with people. Our teams work collaboratively across disciplines to solve complex business challenges and produce work that is thoughtful, effective, and made with care. We value creative play, clear thinking, accountability, strong relationships, and people who care about both the quality of the work and how it gets made.

The Role

Paradowski Creative is seeking a driven, highly organized Account Manager to support day-to-day client relationships and help ensure the smooth development and delivery of exceptional work. This is a mid-level role supporting a large, multi-code account portfolio, partnering closely with an Account Director and cross-functional teams to keep a high-volume, complex book of business moving with clarity and momentum. You'll build deep knowledge of each client's business and goals, earn trust through reliability and follow-through, and take ownership of the details that keep great work on track.

What You'll Do

Client Management

• Manage day-to-day client communication across multiple workstreams, keeping projects aligned with client goals, agency standards, and account priorities
• Translate client goals and feedback into clear, actionable next steps for internal teams
• Prepare and lead client status meetings, presentations, and check-ins with confidence and clarity

Project Delivery

• Partner with the Account Director to develop and execute integrated campaigns across digital, content, experiential, and traditional channels, managing scope, timing, and team coordination across a high-volume portfolio
• Develop and manage project timelines, deliverables, and budgets to ensure on-time, on-brief, on-budget delivery
• Anticipate project risks before they become problems, flagging issues early and keeping stakeholders informed
• Maintain organized project documentation and file accuracy across shared drives

Creative and Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Support creative development and production, helping ideas come to life in clear, engaging, people-centered ways
• Collaborate with Creative, Strategy, Media, and Production to ensure work meets creative standards and business objectives

Account Growth

• Support the Account Director in identifying growth opportunities and tracking client health, contributing to account strategy rather than only executing against it

What You Bring

• 3 to 5 years in an account management role at a creative, digital, or integrated marketing agency
• Demonstrated ability to juggle multiple projects, competing priorities, and client relationships simultaneously
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present ideas clearly and confidently
• Experience collaborating with creative and strategic teams across media, content, and experiential activations
• Working knowledge of project budgets, scopes, and timelines
• Bachelor's degree in Advertising, Marketing, Communications, or a related field
• Familiarity with Microsoft Office and Google Workspace
• Experience with project management tools such as Workamajig
• Curiosity about brands, people, and culture, and an interest in emerging tools and technologies shaping the industry
