Account Executive (Highly Regulated Category)

You’re the kind of Account Executive who sweats the details and sees the bigger picture. You thrive in complexity, value collaboration, and take pride in getting work out the door flawlessly. This role is for someone who likes precision, momentum, and the opportunity to sharpen their strategic thinking while operating at a high bar every day.

Why This Role

You’ll join a fast‑paced, collaborative team where rigor and creativity coexist. This is an opportunity to:

Master the craft of execution in a complex environment
Strengthen your strategic muscle while being close to the work
Learn how best‑in‑class accounts are run, from the details to the decisions
Build a reputation as someone others rely on to get it right

What You’ll Do

Own the day‑to‑day execution of integrated campaigns in a highly regulated category, ensuring work is delivered on time, on brief, and with absolute attention to detail
Act as the connective tissue across strategy, creative, production, and legal—making sure the right teams are aligned at the right moments
Drive projects from kickoff through launch, proactively managing workflows, timelines, and inputs to keep work moving forward
Practice operational excellence: anticipate issues, flag risks early, and bring solutions—not surprises
Build trusted relationships with clients and internal partners through clarity, follow‑through, and smart collaboration
Contribute thoughtful, value‑added ideas that strengthen the work and support the client’s broader business objectives
Continuously look for ways to improve processes, efficiency, and ways of working—without sacrificing quality

What We’re Looking For

2–4 years of agency experience in account management or a closely related role
Proven ability to juggle multiple projects while maintaining a high standard of accuracy and organization
A collaborative mindset, natural curiosity, and a genuine “roll‑up‑your‑sleeves” approach
Strong critical thinking skills and a desire to keep growing
Experience in CPG and/or integrated agency environments is a plus
Comfort using new tools and technologies (including AI) to work smarter and more efficiently
