Senior Account Managers work directly with client and agency teams to develop strategic solutions and lead the go to market activity. The idea is that someone looking at a Sr. AM role wants entry-level strategic experiences.   

The Senior Account Manager position begins the transition into strategic planning within the Client Engagement department. Many of the job responsibilities are consistent with an Account Manager role and must be upheld; however, this position manages multiple relationships with the clients, leads/develops initial strategic input and sets expectations for project delivery.   

Additionally, a Senior Account Manager is responsible for overseeing and leading effective relationships across agency departments and industry relationships. The Senior Account Manager should interact with clients and internal partners as both an effective project manager and strategic partner who helps clarify and develop project objectives, identify challenges, and guides the creation of strategies and metrics for success. This person will be responsible for both leading small to medium-sized projects and acting as day-to-day support on larger strategic projects.   

The successful candidate will also ensure that relevant information across groups (client-side, Technology, User Experience, Creative, Project Management) is communicated and translated into specific actions. The Senior Account Manager should demonstrate an understanding of the client’s business (objectives, risks and strategies) and its marketing goals, applying them to strategic direction for projects. Risks and dependencies will be communicated to the internal team and the client as necessary.   

Senior Account Managers must identify opportunities for incremental growth. They should have a get-it-done mentality because a key component of this role is translating strategy to execution and being ultra-responsive. Working directly with the Supervisor or Account Director, they are responsible for ensuring success across all functional teams and overall client delivery. Financial responsibilities include tracking billing and expenses for the jobs and accounts managed. Candidates must be prepared for a fast-paced environment and be comfortable making decisions.
