Account Service
This job post has expired
Description
In this evolved world, two new currencies have become ultra-valuable in the lives of almost everyone. Health and happiness. For the last decade, LRXD has fought to bring more of both to the world — by growing brands that are on this same mission. Right now, we’re searching for a Senior Account Manager to help us accelerate the climb for these national brands we serve.
More than anything it will be your job to anticipate. You’ll know what the client needs before they ask and lead them to push the business forward. In the same regard, you’ll anticipate what the creative and media teams need before they start getting their hands dirty. Do those things well — along with working hand in hand with the Group Account Director — and you’ll find great happiness here.

We’re a company of unique individuals that works as a tight-knit team. Everyone is equally important in making us — and, in turn, our clients — well-oiled machines.

• Ability to drive internal teams to produce cutting edge work
• Ability to manage multiple projects and clients simultaneously in a quick-paced environment
• Ability to develop and drive project schedules
• Ability to develop accurate estimates and manage them through project completion on time and on budget (and know when it’s appropriate to raise the red flag)
• A solution-driven mentality
• Superior written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to support Group Account Director in their role
• Willingness to “roll up the sleeves” and dive into some of the more mundane tasks on a day-to-day basis (scheduling, proofreading, routing, etc.)
• A hunger to move upward
