Red Dot is looking for a senior account leader who can bring strategy, structure, and momentum to a fast-moving creative agency.


This role is ideal for someone who is equal parts relationship builder, project manager, strategic thinker, and calm operator. You’ll lead day-to-day communication for assigned clients, manage project flow, organize priorities, support marketing planning, and help keep a talented creative team focused and moving forward.


We’re a full-service marketing agency that helps organizations solve real business problems — not just marketing ones.

  • Build trusted relationships with clients, stakeholders, vendors, and internal teams.
  • Translate business needs into clear marketing priorities, project briefs, timelines, and next steps.
  • Lead client meetings, status updates, project check-ins, and planning conversations.
  • Manage timelines, deliverables, approvals, budgets, and project follow-through.
  • Coordinate work across creative, content, digital, web, PR, design, production, vendors, and freelancers.
  • Identify scope creep, project risks, capacity concerns, and account opportunities early.
  • Support marketing plans, campaign strategies, reporting, and account growth.
  • Keep communication clear, proactive, professional, and organized.


How You’ll Show Up

At Red Dot, our values guide how we work:


  • Committed to Our Craft — You care about the details, the quality of the work, and the way the work gets done.
  • Thoroughly Thoughtful — You ask smart questions, think ahead, and consider what clients, the team, and the business need.
  • Absolutely Accountable — You follow through, own the details, and help others stay aligned and informed.
  • Endearingly Authentic — You build real relationships, communicate honestly, and lead with warmth, clarity, and professionalism.


What We’re Looking For

  • 7–10 years of experience in account management, marketing operations, client service, or a related role
  • Strong client relationship and communication skills
  • Project management and organizational experience
  • Ability to manage multiple accounts, timelines, priorities, and personalities
  • Experience working across marketing channels including digital, content, social, web, PR
  • Ability to write clear briefs, manage scope, lead meetings, and keep work moving
  • Solutions-oriented
  • Strong judgment, attention to detail, and ability to lead

 

Compensation Benefits

  • Medical, vision, dental, and retirement benefits
  • Robust PTO policy
  • Discretionary bonuses based on company performance
  • Work-from-home and in-office flexibility
  • Creative, collaborative environment with a small, experienced team
  • Opportunity to help shape the next stage of Red Dot’s growth
