Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the day-to-day running of client accounts and multi-channel campaigns—from planning through production, live execution, and reporting.
  • Project-manage unified campaigns and press-office accounts from strategy through delivery, spotting risks or bottlenecks before they become issues.
  • Shape, review, and polish briefs, decks, and presentations so they match client goals and expectations.
  • Lead client meetings: set agendas, track action items, and anticipate what’s coming next.

  • You’re calm, practical, and solutions-focused—always anticipating workflow or resourcing challenges before they impact delivery.
  • You communicate clearly with clients, explaining decisions and next steps in ways that build trust and avoid unnecessary escalation.
  • You’re detail-oriented and accountable, keeping timelines, budgets, and deliverables on track.
  • You bring a professional presence that’s curious, culturally aware, reliable, and adaptable to different personalities and work styles.
  • You thrive in a collaborative environment and actively contribute to team growth, morale, and creative culture.
