At Vital, we refer to our Account Directors as Strategists, because they’re the ones who plan and oversee the success of an account – potentially managing multiple clients, points of contact, and projects within it. Our Strategists act as a bridge between sales and the Account Managers, helping to transition a new account from sales, building trust with the client and setting the AM up for success.

We’re looking for forward thinkers — those who are up to date on the latest industry news and technologies, and are able to communicate opportunities to clients before they may even recognize a need. If you can direct the overall account strategy without getting bogged down in day-to-day project management responsibilities, then you could be our next Strategist.

Responsibilities

• Oversees the overall success (meeting goals and objectives) of an account, including all the clients, projects, and retainers within that account.
• Builds a strong working relationship with the client.
• Proactively recommends new ideas and strategies to grow accounts with clients.
• Responds with detailed answers to client and AM questions about strategy best practices.
• Capable of having difficult discussions with the client around budget, hours, and scope of projects.
• Maintains an in-depth knowledge of client’s business, industry competition.
• Pitches defends agency work, concepts, and proposals.
• Handles project setup by determining the right steps/process for complex projects.
• Ensures quality assurance by making sure that deliverables are on brand and achieve client goals.
• Presents reports to the client in a monthly meeting.
• Runs kick-off meetings and quarterly calendar meetings to set and maintain strategy and direction to meet clients goals and objectives.
• Keeps track of sales and account growth.
• Work closely with the account management team to over-deliver on client accounts and build strong, lasting relationships.
• Stay informed about digital marketing industry developments and be able to utilize these developments to your clients’ benefit.
• Work with our awesome designers, developers, copywriters, photographers, and other media-production specialists to get projects done on time and on budget.
