About The Position

As an Account Manager at Salt Media, you’ll take day-to-day ownership of client accounts or campaign workstreams, keeping delivery on track while building trusted relationships with client contacts. You’ll work closely with an Account Supervisor or Director to execute against the account strategy, translating plans into clear, well-managed execution. You’ll manage the moving pieces of a campaign or account — timelines, budgets, vendor coordination, and status reporting — while flagging risks early and keeping internal and client stakeholders informed. You’ll also start to build your own point of view on the account, contributing ideas for organic growth and supporting the planning behind key client moments like QBRs. You’re organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple workstreams at once. You communicate clearly, take ownership of your work, and are eager to grow your account management craft — building the judgment and client presence that will carry you toward an Account Supervisor role.
