Job Description

Responsibilities

Be the Daily Anchor: Serve as the primary, trusted day-to-day contact for our clients. When they have a question about a campaign, a timeline, or a specific deliverable, you are their first and most reliable call.
Keep the Trains Running: Manage timelines, budgets, and deliverables across multiple digital workstreams. You’ll know exactly where a project stands at any given moment and ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
Bridge Strategy and Creation: Translate client needs into clear, actionable tactical briefs. You’ll collaborate closely with our internal design, media, and production teams to bring award-winning digital solutions to life.
Streamline the Work: Look for ways to make our processes smoother and our clients happier. Because we’re a nimble shop, if you see a bottleneck, you have the autonomy to fix it.
Learn and Grow: Work hand-in-hand with an Account Director who will mentor you. You’ll get a front-row seat to high-level portfolio management, preparing you for the next step in your career.

Requirements

The Experience: You have 2–5 years of agency experience (likely currently acting as an Account Executive or Senior AE) managing digital campaigns and client relationships.
The Organizational Engine: You are borderline obsessive about details, deadlines, and project health. You’re the person who always has the answer before the question is even asked.
The Digital Native: You have a solid grasp of digital marketing (social, display, CTV, web/mobile workflows, and creative production). You know what it takes to get a digital project across the finish line, including navigating MLR review processes and working within Veeva to manage content submissions and approvals.
The Communicator: You can write a bulletproof brief, lead a status call with confidence, and manage client expectations with a mix of warmth and professionalism.
The "GSD" Attitude: You thrive in a boutique environment where "that’s not my job" doesn’t exist. You’re eager to jump in, learn fast, and laugh along with a comedic, tight-knit team in Edison, NJ.
