The Role

Strand is hiring a Director, Account Management to lead key client relationships and drive day-to-day execution across complex marketing programs across lead generation, affiliate, email, and paid media.

• Prioritize high-impact work
• Manage competing inputs across client needs, internal priorities, and growth opportunities. Focus teams on the work that will have the greatest impact and maintain momentum across multiple concurrent initiatives.
• Translate performance into action
• Stay close to account performance and understand the metrics that matter. Partner with channel teams to identify optimizations, uncover new opportunities, and translate insights into clear recommendations and next steps.
• Improve systems and processes

• Strong operator who takes initiative and moves work forward
• Excellent prioritization skills and sound judgment
