Account Manager, Creative

Role & Responsibilities

  • Own senior client relationships across a portfolio of deep tech accounts — the trusted operator that founders, execs, and marketing leads call first
  • Lead creative engagements end to end — brand identity systems, websites, marketing collateral, video, and campaign work — from kickoff through delivery
  • Translate client vision and feedback into sharp, actionable direction for designers, writers, and strategists, and keep every project on brief, on time, and on budget
  • Review creative before it goes to clients — you're the final quality gate for craft, brand fidelity, and strategic alignment
  • Present and defend the work: articulate the "why" behind creative decisions in a way that builds trust and gets great work approved
  • Grow accounts — spot the next project, the next scope, the adjacent problem HAUS can solve; own SOWs, budgets, and utilization across your book
  • Build the practice: design the account management playbook — briefs, kickoffs, status cadences, feedback loops, QA, escalation paths — that HAUS's creative team will run on for the next decade
  • Hire, mentor, and manage the account managers who join under you as we scale
  • Serve as a strategic partner to clients, with a point of view on brand, design, and the industries they operate in — not just a project manager

‍

Requirements

  • 6+ years managing creative or brand accounts, with meaningful time in an agency setting
  • A track record of owning senior client relationships and running multiple complex creative projects in parallel
  • Experience building or materially improving how an account team operates — process design, not just process execution
  • Comfort operating at founder and C-suite level, and holding your own in a room where the client is the world's expert on their technology
  • Strong eye for design and brand, with the ability to give clear, useful creative feedback and know when the work isn't there yet
  • Excellent written and verbal communication — you can translate a founder's half-formed instinct into a brief a designer can run with
  • Sharp organizational instincts and attention to detail, especially under tight deadlines
  • Genuine curiosity about frontier technology — prior exposure to AI, aerospace, biotech, climate, defense, or similar sectors is a plus, but not required
  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Must love deep tech
