Senior Account Manager: Brand Partnerships & Special Projects

Three Thirty One Creative is seeking a strategic, highly organized, resourceful operator to lead client engagements across brand partnerships, activations, content, and special projects.

We help brands, talent, and entertainment properties create culturally relevant partnerships, campaigns, and experiences that drive real business impact. Our work spans everything from partnership strategy and talent collaborations to content production, events, merchandise programs, and brand activations.

This role sits at the intersection of strategy, account management, and execution. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable developing a partnership recommendation, building a client presentation, managing a photoshoot, or helping bring a complex activation to life.

The role offers significant opportunities for growth and increased leadership responsibility as the business continues to evolve.
