About The Position
Williams & Helde Inc. is seeking a Client Business Manager to join our Account Service team in Seattle. WH is an independent marketing communications agency built on long‑term relationships, thoughtful work, and a belief that the strongest brands earn preference by showing up in ways that are useful, credible, and welcome. We partner with awesome brands, many operating in B2B and professional‑influence environments, that add real value to the world. Our work blends brand strategy and integrated communications using an Inspire and Inform approach, guided by deep understanding of the Performance Lifestyle Consumer (PLC) and how trust is built over time. This is a senior, client‑facing role for someone who brings confidence, clarity, and strong project leadership. As a Senior Account Manager, you will serve as a primary day‑to‑day partner for clients, manage complex integrated programs, and help guide both internal teams and client stakeholders through strategic and executional work.

This role requires a strong commitment to project management, clear writing, and steady leadership. You will be trusted to own details, timelines, and delivery while supporting higher‑level thinking and maintaining WH’s standard of care and quality. Projects may include brand and communications playbooks, integrated campaigns, PR‑led programs, content, social and email marketing, video, and digital advertising. The work is varied, non‑repetitive, and requires comfort with complexity.
