Agency partnerships don’t grow themselves — they grow because someone owns the relationship strategically, spots opportunities before the client asks, and takes real commercial accountability for the outcome. This role exists to be that owner: managing a portfolio of high-value agency accounts, driving growth, and identifying AI and workflow automation opportunities that create measurable impact for clients.
This goes well beyond relationship management. You’ll be the primary point of contact for agency partners while working closely with internal delivery teams across design, development, QA, and marketing — translating client needs into delivery, and delivery progress back into strategic client conversations.
This role is not a good fit if:
- You’ve managed accounts but haven’t owned commercial outcomes such as upsell, renewal, and revenue targets
- You’re looking for a coordination or support role — this is a full account ownership position with commercial accountability
- You haven’t worked with US-based clients or managed cross-timezone communication at a professional level
- You approach account management reactively — our partners expect proactive insights and initiatives, not just responses
This role is for someone who enjoys:
- Owning commercial outcomes for a portfolio of accounts, not just maintaining relationships
- Spotting AI and automation opportunities inside a client’s operations before they ask
- Moving fluidly between strategic conversations and hands-on delivery oversight
- Driving growth through upsell, renewal, and expansion, not just retention
If you’re someone who takes real ownership of revenue and relationship outcomes, and you’re genuinely curious about where AI can create value for clients, this role gives you both the accountability and the room to prove it.
