About the Role

We are looking for a proactive, highly organized, and client-centric Account Supervisor to manage day-to-day operations across key integrated client accounts in dynamic retail environments. You will serve as the primary operational anchor and day-to-day liaison for clients, ensuring complex 360-degree campaigns are delivered flawlessly, on strategy, on schedule, and on budget. While this position has no direct reports, you will act as a pivotal project lead, collaborating closely with cross-functional agency teams to drive campaign momentum, solve operational challenges, and foster strong client relationships.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the main day-to-day contact for client brand and retail marketing teams, maintaining clear communication and high levels of client trust.
  • Manage client expectations on timelines, deliverables, scope, and budget, ensuring proactive status reporting and clear meeting agendas/recap documentation.
  • Understand the client’s business goals, retail environment, promotional calendar, and brand guidelines to ensure agency output aligns with commercial objectives.
  • Oversee the end-to-end execution of integrated campaigns across multiple channels (digital, TV/video, print, OOH, social, CRM, e-commerce, and point-of-sale/retail activations).
  • Partner with strategy and creative leads to steward work from creative brief approval through final production and campaign launch.
  • Monitor project workflows, risk factors, and approval stages, ensuring all internal stakeholders and cross-functional teams meet key milestones.
  • Manage asset delivery schedules, retail store/dealer collateral distribution lists, and digital channel specs.
  • Manage account finances, including project scoping, fee tracking, production estimates, client approvals, and monthly billing reconciliations.
  • Partner with production and finance teams to ensure projects remain profitable and within approved budget parameters.
  • Track project scope changes proactively, issuing change orders or scope adjustments as needed.
  • Collaborate with media and analytics teams to monitor campaign performance, gather insights, and deliver post-campaign reporting to clients.
  • Maintain a deep curiosity about retail trends, shopper behavior, and competitive activity in the client’s industry.

Requirements

  • 4–6 years of account management experience within an advertising, marketing, or digital agency environment.
  • Proven track record of executing multi-channel, 360-degree integrated campaigns (digital, social, video, CRM, and retail/POS collateral).
  • Experience working with clients operating in physical retail, e-commerce, FMCG/CPG, or automotive dealer ecosystems is highly preferred.
  • Comfort managing project budgets, estimates, vendor costs, and billing processes.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to lead client meetings confidently.
  • Exceptional project management and multi-tasking abilities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Able to drive initiatives forward independently, anticipate client needs, and solve problems proactively.
  • Natural ability to build strong working relationships across creative, strategic, media, and production departments.
  • Meticulous approach to proofing, campaign specs, timing plans, and financial tracking.
