Strategic Account Planner

As our Strategic Account Planner, you will play a pivotal role in supporting one of the agency’s largest accounts, Comcast, by bringing an informed perspective on the communications category – focusing on the residential and business audiences they desire and the communities they participate in. This perspective is grounded in truth and steeped in cultural insight, which grants you authority. In your partnership, you form an integrated team that retains part ownership and full accountability. You don’t just direct or delegate; you collaborate, lead by example, and nurture growth in the people around you. You have a high EQ, leveraging your experience to build trusting relationships and lead courageous conversations, pushing the client and the team to explore new territories.

While this position will report to the Vice President of Client Consulting, you will work cross-functionally with our Strategy team, focused on serving the business portfolio and unlocking business growth for our clients.
