FULL TIME: ACCOUNT MANAGER
/ LOCATION
Minneapolis
/ JOB DESCRIPTION
As an Account Manager at Edition Studios, you will provide thoughtful business leadership and strong collaboration with our in-house team and clients. You will keep the customer—and the agency—satisfied. You have strong communication skills and succeed in a fast-paced environment, and you don’t get overwhelmed when things heat up. You’re not just great at communication, but you’re a planner, organizer, and daily googler for all things that you may not be perfectly proficient in. You thrive on challenging the norm and run away from the copy-cats out there.
As part of a nimble agency, you’ll wear many hats and quickly become part of the family. Beyond account management, you’ll help support business development and are a natural upseller. This is a fast-paced work environment, and you’ll leave every day feeling like you got a lot of shit done. Every day is different. Boring people and career coasters need not apply. This is a job for a true hustler with previous experience at a creative agency.
