This role sits within the Client Services organization. You will partner directly with one or multiple sellers to support a designated book of business within a pod focused on Food accounts. Reporting to the Account Strategy Lead, you will work closely with the Sales team to drive performance, optimize campaigns, strengthen client relationships, and collaborate alongside a team of nine strategists supporting the broader portfolio.
Key Skills Required

Communication & Collaboration: Clear, responsive communicator who works effectively across Sales, clients/agencies, and cross‑functional internal partners.
Strategic & Analytical Thinking: Ability to interpret campaign performance data, identify opportunities or risks, and turn analytics into actionable recommendations rather than basic reporting.

Account Management & Growth: Manage and grow a portfolio of client accounts within the Food pod, serving as the primary point of contact and trusted consultative advisor.
Campaign Execution & Optimization: Build, launch, and optimize campaigns across relevant platforms (paid search, social, programmatic display, video, CTV, digital OOH, in‑store tactics), overseeing audience targeting, budget allocation, bid strategies, and technical troubleshooting.
Performance Analysis & Reporting: Monitor campaign performance daily, make data‑driven adjustments to improve KPIs, and deliver regular performance reports that translate complex metrics into strategic client insights.
Financial & Budget Oversight: Oversee account budgets, pacing, and forecasting to ensure efficient spend, align with client goals, and present strategic upsell recommendations to drive incremental revenue.
Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Partner with internal teams (Sales, Creative, Product, Yield) and external agencies to align on media strategy, asset trafficking, QA processes, and execution SLAs.
Client Stewardship: Lead client calls, meetings, presentations, and strategic planning sessions, demonstrating strong executive presence and expertise in media tactics.
What You’ll Bring
Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Business, Marketing, Communication, or a related field.
Experience: 3+ years of hands‑on experience managing or consulting on digital media campaigns across display, video, social, search, and programmatic channels.

Client Management: Proven client‑facing experience, including proactive risk identification, solution development, and presentation skills.
Project Management: Capability to thrive under pressure, navigate ambiguous situations, and manage complex, multi‑variable priorities.
Technical Skills: Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook. Familiarity with Salesforce, JIRA, Tableau, SQL, and Power BI.
