Account manager Jobs in Portland, OR

It’s 8:

• 30am at Axiom Studio, and you’re walking into our space at NE 6th and Davis with a coffee in one hand and a mental checklist already forming.
• A designer is pinning up concepts for a retail activation.
• Slack is buzzing.
• There’s a dog trotting past with a squeaky toy.

By 9:

• 00, you’re on your first client call of the day, and it’s not just a status update.
• It’s a strategy conversation.
• As our Account Manager, you don’t just “manage” accounts.
• You partner.
• You guide.
• You translate big, ambitious ideas into real-world builds that live beautifully in physical space.

• you understand their business, their audience, their challenges, and what success truly looks like for them.
• When they call, you respond quickly and thoughtfully.
• When they push for something bold, you help shape the path to make it happen.
• You don’t say “no.” You say, “Here’s how.” Mid-morning might find you in a huddle with the team.
• You’re walking through scope, budget, and timelines, making sure the creative vision aligns with materials, fabrication realities, and shop capacity.
• You know the fabrication process well enough to ask smart questions about materials, production methods, and vendor coordination.
• You’re the connective tissue between client ambition and our build floor in NE Portland.
• When something feels fuzzy, you clarify.
• When something feels risky, you find a solution.
• You’re the translator, the advocate, and sometimes the diplomat.
• By lunchtime, you might be reviewing a proposal draft, refining scope of work language, or leading a conversation around contracts and rates.
• You’re comfortable talking numbers.
• You track forecasts, review invoices, and keep a steady eye on profitability.
• You know that healthy accounts mean a healthy business, and you take that responsibility seriously.
• Later, you could be partnering with our Business Development Team on a new opportunity, bringing your creative thinking and financial savviness together to shape a pitch that feels both exciting and executable.
• In the afternoon, you’re juggling.
• A timeline shifts.
• A vendor has a question.
• A client wants to expand the campaign.
• Deadlines are tight and flexibility is limited, but you thrive here.
• You reprioritize, communicate clearly, and keep everyone aligned.
• You lead planning meetings and onboarding sessions with confidence, setting the tone for collaboration and transparency from day one.
• After a major install or activation, you debrief with intention, identifying wins, lessons, and opportunities to grow the relationship.
• Growth is always on your radar.
• You look for ways to expand accounts with both immediate and long-term solutions.
• You identify moments to cross-sell Axiom’s unique suite of services.
• You build relationships that are consistent with our business plan, heritage, capabilities, and creative goals.
• New clients?
• You’re ready for them.
• Existing clients?
• They keep coming back because they trust you.

Throughout the day, your tools are open and active:

• Google Docs, SketchUp, Keynote, Slack, ERP tracking the details behind the scenes.
• You move fluidly between big-picture thinking and meticulous follow-through.
• Success, for you, looks like clients who return again and again.
• It sounds like teammates saying, “We love working with them.” It feels like hitting deadlines without compromising quality.
• You bring at least two years of Account Management experience, ideally with retail, hospitality, or brand environment clients.
• You have a genuine passion for brand experience across design, fabrication, experiential technology, event production, or retail execution.
• You lead with clarity, empathy, and hustle.
