The Client Service Department is seeking an experienced Principal, Strategy & Accounts to oversee a portfolio of 4 to 6 full-service client accounts. Principals drive fundraising and paid media strategy, manage execution across internal departments, mentor client teams, and ensure outstanding client service and satisfaction.

In addition to leading client delivery, the Principal plays a key role in implementing and maintaining client service processes across the firm (including onboarding, reporting, and cross-vertical coordination) and is empowered to set and enforce expectations with clients and internal teams.

This is a senior client service role — ideal for someone who has driven digital strategy and directed a team for a statewide program. Applicants must have successfully served as an Account Lead on a major cross-vertical client for at least 1 cycle at a comparable agency or as a Digital Director level role (or adjacent) on a statewide campaign. An understanding of agency processes, digital best practices, and cross-vertical projects (i.e. campaign launches, new client onboarding, end-of-cycle cash flow) is preferred.
