About The Position

At Movers+Shakers, our mission is to spread joy. Under the leadership of your Senior Account Director, you’ll be responsible for the overall client satisfaction of assigned accounts, their revenue growth, profitability, and project management. You’ll use your deep understanding of social media strategy to lead the client and our internal team to deliver disruptive creativity. And you’ll identify and execute tactical growth plans to grow the business.
ROLE SPECIFICS
As Account Director, you’ll co-lead the charge for a segment of the Movers+Shakers business, and you’ll drive the relationship and revenue growth of these key accounts. Internally, you’ll lead our cross-functional team to deliver innovative work. You’ll juggle competing priorities, from pricing to resourcing, as you grow your revenue and profitability. Externally, you’ll lead our clients to success they dreamed of. You’ll intuit their needs and inspire them with what’s possible.
We’re looking for a savvy business leader: someone who understands an agency P&L and how we grow, and equally understands a client CMO’s business struggles and how they grow. We need a socially-native thinker, who understands how to use social media to drive key client outcomes.
