About The Position

Collier.Simon is an independent, full-service creative agency in the Los Angeles/Hollywood area. We work with our client partners to develop creative solutions that truly move the needle. Clients range from Fortune 500-type household names to up-and-comers across a variety of industries and verticals. We’re also in the middle of a tech-powered transformation, and curiosity is at the heart of it. We use AI to supercharge creativity, not replace it, and we’re actively exploring how new tools can help us scale, spark, and speed up the work. We’re looking for people who get excited about trying new things, asking “what if we tried it this way?”, and bringing that experimental mindset to every project they touch. We’re looking for a sharp, organized, go-getter Account Executive with 1–3 years of marketing/advertising experience. Success in this role hinges on three things: superb project management skills, the instinct to anticipate what clients and teammates need before they ask, and the kind of get-it-done attitude that keeps work moving.
