Senior Account Manager

Overview

Remote role but must be based in New York

Our client is not your typical marketing agency. They re the ones brands call when they want to actually get young people—not just talk at them.

They team up with student audiences across the globe to create campaigns that feel real, not forced. Whether it s launching something new on campus, blowing up on social, or throwing an unforgettable live event—they make sure brands show up where student culture actually lives.

They don t guess what students care about. They ask. They listen. They create with them, not just for them. That s why what they do works—it s grounded in real voices, real lives, and a deep understanding of what s shaping the culture right now.

You are someone who understands how to build and run fully integrated campaigns, particularly aimed at student audiences. You ve worked on projects tied to the U.S. college market and know how to tailor messages and strategies to this space. Whether it s brand partnerships, on-the-ground experiences, or social-first storytelling, you ve helped bring campaigns to life from concept through execution.

You keep up with cultural and social trends and are able to adapt fast. You ve managed teams, handled budgets, kept timelines on track, and juggled multiple moving parts. You re as comfortable in a brainstorm as you are in a spreadsheet, and you bring a proactive, solutions-focused mindset to your work.
