Account Coordinator

Russell Herder, a fully-accredited 4A’s advertising agency with strong creative, PR, digital, media and research capabilities, is seeking a junior account coordinator with one to three years of experience to join its team.

The account coordinator will work in tandem with the client services and digital teams to assist the daily servicing of their clients and support other agency activities on an as needed basis.

Job Responsibilities:

• Support client services and digital teams as needed to build rapport and credibility with client based upon trust and expert counsel.
• Coordinate production of client and business development projects with any or all agency resource areas.
• Take ownership of projects by managing the day-to-day operations of projects as directed by client services and digital teams.
• Helps coordinate the production of client and new-business presentations.
• Develop production schedules and complete timelines for creative projects that balance client and agency needs.
• Take ownership for team communication, and keep entire team informed of project status and/or changes.
• Maintain a high level of organization to all projects on assigned accounts.
• Complete search marketing, social media, PR, media and billing reporting as needed for clients.
• Assist as needed in execution of specific digital, PR and creative tactics.
• Fulfill agency administrative and proofing duties as needed.

Required Skills:

• Superlative Writer: As a communications professional, you are an effective, persuasive and stylish writer who thrives in a deadline-driven environment and handles pressure with grace. If you’ve been published, even better.
• Detail-Obsessed: The little things matter to you, whether it’s properly placing the comma in “1,000” or knowing the difference between “it’s” and “its”, and your work and achievements reflect this commitment.
• Proactive Team Player: The words “that’s not my job” aren’t part of your vocabulary, and you enthusiastically seek out and embrace opportunities to help the agency and add to your professional skill-set by fulfilling duties not necessarily in the domain of your title.
• Critical Thinker: You are able to independently form critical judgments and seamlessly blend facts, logic and intuition in order to justify your stances.
• Relentlessly Curious: You are not only undaunted when faced with new challenges or unexpected results, but insatiably driven to use these experiences to enhance your professional development.
• Uncommonly Resourceful: You have a deep understanding of the value of resourcefulness and pragmatism in problem-solving and have demonstrably employed creative thinking to solve real-life professional challenges.
• Graceful Under Pressure: Always the true professional, the very real challenges of multiple projects, shifting deadlines and changing priorities do not incite frustration, impact the quality of your work, nor hinder you from honoring commitments.
• Math-Literate: You might have struggled at high-level calculus, but you can accurately compute and aren’t intimidated by business-world math, including calculating percentages, averages and ROI.
• Technologically Savvy: More than simply reading Mashable and owning an iPad, you are sufficiently versed in digital tools and technologies and capable of applying that knowledge towards solving real-world business problems.
• Insistent on Accountability: If you could, you would sign your name and title in big, bold letters on every piece of work you produce. More importantly, you own mistakes and find ways to use them as opportunities for growth.
