Job Description

Who We Are.

Hi, We’re Sundogs. We’re using AI and human creative expertise to transform video advertising. Working with the biggest brands in the world, we’re building a way to measure creative effectiveness – helping Brands & Creators see inside their videos to understand how to tell better, more powerful stories.

Our team is a global collection of Cannes-winning creatives, ex-Googlers, cutting edge data scientists, and start-up entrepreneurs, and we're poking at the future with curiosity and delight. We’re super proud to be one of Fast Company’s most innovative companies in 2026. Want to join us?

The Role.

We’ve built the engine; now we need you to drive it. Sundogs Creative is at a moment of explosive growth and we need you to unlock it with us.

As our Account Manager, you will be the face of Sundogs for our North American partners, reporting to our Head of Client Partnerships. You will be bringing us into new clients, driving the uptake for our scaled diagnostics with media and measurement partners and brands. You’ll be cultivating new leads, turning curiosity into demand, and helping to build a scalable growth engine as our platform evolves.

And you aren't just managing accounts; you are a strategic consultant turning complex AI insights into creative narratives that solve real business challenges. You will bridge the gap between market needs and our evolving AI capabilities, ensuring our partners don’t just "use" our tech—that they can’t live without it.

The magic of a startup is also its greatest challenge: you’ll wear many hats without the support systems of larger organizations. You’ll need to be self-directed and ambitious to shape the company beyond the limits of your role. You’ll never grow faster, nor have more opportunities to shape and lead a company. Are you ready?

Key Responsibilities.

External Growth and Strategy

  • Drive Sales: Transform warm leads into clients with thoughtful, speedy follow-through, managing conversations from brand and product teams through executive leaders. Set and hit sales targets to drive revenue and profitability goals with new clients and prospects
  • Own the Relationship: Act as the primary strategic lead for a portfolio of brand-direct and agency accounts. Move beyond "check-ins" to become a trusted advisor (annual partnership roadmaps with C-level stakeholders, QBRs…)
  • Deliver World-Class Work: Digest scaled data into compelling narratives that knit together detailed analytics, marketing insights and anthemic storytelling in ways that shape the strategies of the best brands in the world
  • Build Organic Scale: Identify organic growth opportunities within your clients and sell in new solutions that solve their challenges while funneling market needs back to the product teams to keep our solutions evolving
  • Drive Project Excellence: Own the lifecycle of every deliverable (research work, campaign launch, ongoing ad pre-testing)—from scoping and resource allocation to partner orchestration to milestone tracking and quality control

Internal Innovation

  • Cross-Functional Sync: Collaborate seamlessly with our Creative, Product, and Tech teams to deliver projects successfully & ensure workflows are as innovative as our tech
  • Voice of the Customer: Translate client pain points into actionable feature requests (ie. new creative signals to develop, new verticals to explore) for our Product and Tech teams
  • Navigate the "New": Provide feedback proactively and help us refine our internal workflows to make us more productive and effective as an organization

What We Look For.

Must-Haves

  • The Client Foundation: 3–5 years in a client-facing role (Sales/BD, account management, or Strategy) in a video media environment (Platform, media/creative agency, or ad-tech partner)
  • Excellent Communication: Whether it’s a strategic narrative for a global brand or a Slack update for the founders, your communication is always clear, persuasive, and proactive.
  • Creative & Tech Fluency: You speak "Creative" and "Data" with equal ease. You are inspired by data, and you want to unpack how stories work.
  • Startup Grit: You don't need a manual to get started. You thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and aren't afraid to "figure it out" when there’s no clear roadmap.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Proactive Curiosity: You’re constantly asking, "How can I do this better? What if we try something new?..." You challenge the status quo and bring solutions, not just problems.
  • Macro & Micro Vision: You can design a six-month strategic roadmap in the morning and dive into the nitty-gritty of a project tracker in the afternoon.

Benefits.

  • Salary: $80-90k, dependent upon experience
  • Equity options
  • Medical/dental/vision covered at 100% for employees
  • Fully remote team (with ~monthly local NYC coworking days)

Why Sundogs?

  • Unrivaled Growth: Work directly with the founding team. You’ll gain more experience in 6 months here than in 5 years at a legacy corporation.
  • Real Impact: You aren’t a cog; you’re the engine. Your work directly dictates our growth, revenue, and reputation in the US market.
  • High Autonomy, High Support: We value independence and "figuring it out," but you’ll have the backing of industry veterans every step of the way.

Amazing is on the other side of Yes.

We say this a lot. It’s on the final slide of all our decks. Why? Because it’s true - and it’s the foundation of all the magic we do here. We say yes to the challenges because we LOVE this stuff: the world of video, the business of ads, and the culture of finding out as a crew of creative mechanics and scientists who can see magic where no one else can. Come have fun with us. Come break and build beautiful things with us. All you have to do is say Yes.
