Read about the role and what it’s like to work with us below! 🎉

Account Manager

*We are only accepting applicants currently residing in the Santa Barbara area. 

WHAT’S THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS JOB?

  • We are a super nice, down-to-earth team. No drama, egos, or cattiness. We work together and support each other.

  • We support a healthy work/life balance with some amazing perks that are unheard of in the marketing industry. See more details under benefits!

  • Our office is a fun environment in the heart of Santa Barbara, surrounded by restaurants and just one block from the ocean.

  • This role does not require any sales responsibilities and you are not responsible for finding clients (although we offer a nice referral gift if you do!)

  • We put the mental health of our team above our clients. That means we will drop a problematic client before we lose a great team member.

SO WHAT DOES A MARKETING ACCOUNT MANAGER DO?

The most important thing is that you have to love people and find fulfillment in helping them succeed. Second, you need to have a knack for writing clear, succinct, dynamic copy. Third, most important thing is that you have to have a sharp eye for good aesthetics and design. That doesn’t mean you have to be an advanced designer but at a bare minimum, you have to know when something looks good.

Clever Punch's Marketing Account Managers help accomplish our client's scope of work on a weekly and monthly basis. Each client has an array of tasks that relate to their big-picture over-arching goals. Those tasks could include copywriting, graphic design, email campaigns, social media management, website design, and updates, arranging photography, analytics, and sometimes boring general data entry tasks. Our Account Managers help us stay on track in completing the week's tasks for the time we have allotted. You'll be communicating with clients directly with updates or for approval, and working with freelancers, delegating and approving their work.

BENEFITS & COMPENSATION

Compensation: Starting salary position at $49,400/year (based on approx $27/hour and a 35-hour workweek) with the potential to grow to up to $60,000 in 12 months.

Please apply if this sounds like you...

  • Great at design, especially an eye for layout, and quick with Canva at a minimum. Experience with InDesign is a plus!

  • Stellar at writing. We care less about spelling and grammar (thank you Grammarly tool) and more about punchy, dynamic, vibrant copy that captures the unique voice of each of our clients.

  • Ideal qualities and skills are curiosity, ownership, drive, integrity, critical thinking, a caring attitude, and a desire to help others.

  • Experience using Squarespace and Mailchimp are also ideal.

To apply for this position: send your resume, and examples of your work, along with a personal cover letter (please nothing stuffy and vague, I’d love to know who you are as a person!) to jade@cleverpunchco.com, and if you are on social media and are comfortable, please share your Instagram handle.
