Overview

The Senior Account Executive plays a key role in the day-to-day management and execution of client programs, partnering closely with clients and internal strategy, creative, and cross-functional teams. This person will help move work forward in a fast-paced, quick-turn environment while contributing strategic thinking, strong organization, and thoughtful client service.

The ideal candidate brings experience in shopper marketing, retail marketing, or an agency environment and is ready to take on increasing ownership of projects and client relationships.

Candidates in the New York metro or Connecticut area are preferred due to proximity to the client in White Plains, New York, and the potential for occasional client visits.

Responsibilities

• Manage the day-to-day execution of client programs, ensuring work is delivered accurately, efficiently, and against client and agency objectives.
• Partner closely with clients and internal strategy, creative, and cross-functional teams to keep projects moving forward.
• Manage multiple projects, priorities, timelines, and deliverables in a fast-paced, quick-turn environment.
• Develop a strong understanding of the client’s business, brand, and objectives to help inform strategic recommendations.
• Contribute ideas and strategic thinking to address client business challenges and opportunities.
• Support client communications, meetings, presentations, and ongoing relationship management.
• Anticipate project needs, identify potential challenges, and proactively communicate with internal and client teams.
• Take increasing ownership of projects and client relationships as knowledge of the business grows.

Qualifications

• Experience in shopper marketing, retail marketing, client services, or an agency environment strongly preferred.
• Experience managing client programs, campaigns, or integrated marketing initiatives.
• Strong organizational and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and quick-turn assignments.
• Comfortable working directly with clients and collaborating across creative, strategy, and other cross-functional teams.
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and strategic thinking skills.
• Experience with digital program execution or integrated commerce/retail programs is a plus.
• Experience in beverage alcohol is a major plus but not required. Experience supporting large global brands or working within highly regulated industries may also translate well.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience.
• Candidates with approximately 3+ years of relevant experience are encouraged to apply, though we are open to individuals with less tenure who have demonstrated meaningful agency, shopper, retail, or client-facing experience.
