Senior Account Executive
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 18, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 7, 2026.
BE THE ULTIMATE COLLABORATOR
The Senior Account Executive at a creative/marketing agency acts as a partner to our clients and internal teams, advocating for their success as if it were their own. As part of our client services department, you will regularly manage many different parts of creative projects, including strategy, creative development, information design, client relationships, internal resource management, timeline and budget requirements, administration and billing, and quality control for multiple projects. This is NOT a sales role.
WORK LOCATION
idfive is located in Baltimore, MD. We love Charm City, and it loves us back. Many of our team members live in the city and surrounding areas, but fivers can be found nationwide.
While we love to get together and meet for agency-wide events with both our out-of-state and local fivers, where you work is up to you, so long as it’s during our 9-5 EST operating hours. If you’re within driving distance of the office, you may be asked to work from the office as needed for creative brainstorms or in-person client meetings.
BEFORE YOU GET HERE, YOU SHOULD…
- Be able to juggle many different parts of the project life-cycle simultaneously.
- Have 5+ years of experience managing integrated marketing campaigns, brand initiatives, and partnering with a media team to drive client ROI.
- Love to collaborate on and/or take ownership of estimates and proposals, consulting documents and presentations, information architectures, and creative and strategy briefs.
- Expertly work as a team to evaluate and plan for the company’s daily priorities, monthly capacity, and other operational tasks.
- Have prior agency experience.
- Be proactive, detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable with a deadline-oriented atmosphere.
- Have excellent communication, writing, and problem-solving skills.
BONUS POINTS IF YOU ALSO…
- Have experience in business consulting, website maintenance, and enterprise level web design and development projects.
- Are comfortable working in ambiguity. Uncovering solutions, efficiencies, and having a passion for digging for a better way of doing things
- Have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience in marketing, communications, design, philosophy, math, psychology, anthropology, sociology, English, or something business-y. A master’s degree in any of the fields above doesn’t hurt, either.
ON YOUR FIRST PROJECT, YOU MIGHT BE EXPECTED TO…
- Partner with client teams from a major university or nonprofit organization while collaborating with idfive’s Media, UX, Design, Development, Business Development, and Strategy teams.
- Communicate risk mitigation strategies through every project phase to deliver on time and within budget to retain the client for future work.
AFTER SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR, YOU’LL BE EXPECTED TO…
- Manage a monthly client project portfolio of about $50 - 80K. This could be managing 6-12 projects, including media campaigns, brand initiatives, and mid-sized web projects.
- Take complete ownership of positive client and internal team partnerships, with the ability to forecast work to align with staff resource availability.
- Fully understand the idfive process as outlined in an extensive Account Executive handbook.
- Work with your direct supervisor on a growth plan focused on your abilities and interests.
