About the Role

As a senior account manager, you will support the business objectives of the Ad Platform team by driving growth with existing customers by helping them leverage our platform to meet and exceed their KPIs. You will learn and help develop new processes as this still-growing business adds products and explores new ad monetization opportunities. Your main target customer groups will be newly signed top tier agency partners as well as select small to medium-sized businesses utilizing our self-service Ad Platform to promote their businesses. Their success and long-term retention on the platform will be the key determinant of success in this role.

We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company. We're big enough to have resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a meaningful impact. We're curious, fun, a little intense, and kind of obsessed with helping local businesses thrive. Does that sound like a great way to grow your career? Let's get into the details.
