This position is designed for a senior individual contributor who can be developed into an Account Supervisor.
II. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Client & Retainer Account Management

- Translate verbal or incomplete client requests into clear written briefs, success criteria, timelines, responsibilities, and approval requirements before work begins.

3. Commercial & Operational Ownership
- Prepare and manage scopes of work, cost estimates, resource assumptions, timelines, change requests, and supporting contract documents with appropriate senior review.

4. Quality, Compliance & Risk Management
- Review briefs, estimates, timelines, presentations, copy, artwork, media deliverables, and reports before release to ensure accuracy, brand consistency, and alignment with client objectives.
- Establish clear version control, proofreading, approval, and release processes—particularly for high-volume advertising materials—to reduce rework and avoid publishing errors.
- Conduct project retrospectives and turn recurring issues into practical process improvements, templates, or preventive checklists.
5. Team Leadership & Supervisor Readiness
- Delegate clearly to Account Executives and Interns, set priorities, review outputs, coach through feedback, and take accountability for the quality and timeliness of delegated work.
- Facilitate internal status meetings, resolve day-to-day delivery conflicts, and align cross-functional teams around the client objective and agreed priorities.
- Act as the Account Supervisor’s reliable second-in-command and independently cover routine account operations when required.
