23d • $65,000 - $80,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

At Øuterkind, we strongly believe that building a culture for our team is paramount to our collective success and that of our clients, which is why we’re really excited about this opportunity for you to join us. Øuterkind is a creative marketing and advertising agency based in Denver, CO. We’re on the hunt for an experienced Account Manager that will bring their talents, drive, and determination to our diverse team and client roster. This position will be responsible for supporting a multi-dimensional activation plan for key experiential clients. The application of a creative consumer journey and strategic approaches, along with objectives measurement and content management, are core deliverables of this role. This position will support the greater account team on all client communications and therefore should be proficient in interpersonal communication, presentation, and client/project stewardship, ideally in the experiential space.

They can work effectively as part of a team or as a lone wolf – flexibility is key – we offer a lot but expect the same.
