Account Supervisor

ADsmith is looking for a seasoned, self-motivated account service professional to join our team of strategists, creatives, and media specialists. This role is built for someone who leads from the front — mentoring junior team members, managing competing priorities, and building the kind of client relationships that last.

You’re a well-rounded marketer. You understand the full picture — brand, digital, media, content, creative — and you know when to roll up your sleeves and when to bring in the specialists. You don’t just execute strategy; you help shape it.

As a senior member of our Account Service team, you’ll serve as the critical connector between clients and our internal team — keeping communication clear, work moving, and expectations managed. More than that, you’ll help clients find their why and build the marketing support plan to share it with the world.

If you’re someone who gets energized by complex accounts, loves developing people, and wants a real seat at the table in a growing agency — this is the role.

• Manage ongoing web support requests: field client input, brief the creative, digital development team, and ensure quality execution
• Lead an intranet redesign initiative in collaboration with the client’s internal communications team

• Individual performance bonuses
• 16 days (128 hours) of Paid Time Off (vacation, sick, personal)
