Responsibilities

• SAEs have mastered the skills of an AE and have moved on to managing projects, working with a high degree of independence.
• They are pivotal in the bridging of planning to execution, accomplishing most work with just a ‘gut-check’ from managers or account leads.
• An outstanding SAE is equally capable as either an independent operator or project partner—whatever the situation calls for.
• They’re comfortable initiating and owning key media and deliverables or teaming up with an AC or VP on new initiatives.
• Clients trust the SAE for both strategic and tactical recommendations, as well as day-to-day updates on projects they own.
• SAEs should see themselves as ‘first line of defense’ when it comes to client questions and requests.
• They’re learning how to manage their clients including: setting/meeting clear expectations, updating clients regularly, pushing back as needed and navigating challenging client situations.
• They are task masters who translate strategy into execution, ensuring projects are completed on time and up to Archetype standards, providing direct feedback, managing up and flagging challenges and opportunities.
• SAEs are strong and consistent results drivers for their teams, securing regular media coverage and speaking/award opportunities, while also providing strong contributions to research, planning, content and any other client needs with minimal oversight or revision.
• SAEs are developing the ability to assess individual and team performance and help to direct and teach junior staff.
