Account Manager (Native Spanish, Bilingual)

About the Role

The Bilingual Account Manager will lead creative workflows that drive business outcomes for the client’s business. Your day will be spent understanding the objective of our creative efforts, working with strategy and creative teams to match those efforts with the right creative solutions, and guiding the execution of the work for optimal efficiency and creative quality.

With a focus primarily on paid social and online video, you will be encouraged and expected to be intimately familiar with the client’s brand, product, market conditions and competitors. You should also have a foundational understanding of production process and the ability to support producers and creatives during fast moving workflows.

You will work closely with and lead the creative team on a day-to-day basis by providing guidance, client feedback, and ensuring all parties are clear on tasks. You will also be managed by a Senior account manager or Account Director and will have exponential growth opportunities within the brand and agency.
