• •Coach and develop client management talent while setting clear standards for agendas, recaps, timelines, dependencies and accountability.
• •Strengthen Asana, Harvest and AI-powered workflows so agency leaders have useful information without creating unnecessary process or administrative burden.
• •Improve client onboarding, account planning, relationship mapping, escalation and offboarding practices across the agency.

• •8-12 years of agency operations, account operations or integrated project management experience.
• •Success overseeing a portfolio of complex client accounts and improving how cross-functional teams plan and deliver work.
• •Strong command of scope, budgets, utilization, resource planning, workflow systems and delivery risk.
• •Experience managing and developing client leads or account operations professionals.
• •Excellent judgment, executive communication and the confidence to create accountability across teams and levels.
