If you’re a former in-house/agency star, familiar with what it means to be in the client’s seat (the stress they are under for results, the reports they need to produce, and what makes an agency a headache vs. a lifesaver) then we’d love to have you!

We’re WebMechanix, a performance-marketing agency that is looking for a mid to senior-level individual to manage key client relationships and direct a team of specialists to execute high-performing strategies. The role entails owning all aspects of a client relationship, consulting, communicating, managing expectations, prioritizing workstreams, and ensuring that the agency is valued as a trusted partner who reaches the client's goals.

The successful candidate will have a variety of clients to keep things interesting, a best-in-class team of specialists that live and breathe digital marketing, the satisfaction of moving the needle, launching campaigns, and getting things done, and a stable career that is positioned to weather whatever 2023 has to throw at us.

• Constantly educate clients and present relevant, new, and innovative ideas to keep them excited
• Manage media budgets for clients
