Job Summary:

We are seeking a mid-to-senior-level Account Manager, or what we call "Brand Producer," to join the Humanaut team. The main responsibility of a Brand Producer at Humanaut is to guide clients (brands) from new business through final delivery of project assets. To do this, you need to be able to market Humanaut in a way that nails the unique Humanaut value prop. You will help re-educate our clients on how to succeed in their partnership with us at each stage of the project. 

Aligning the interests of the client with those of the agency (while directing a complex project plan) requires finesse as well as stress management and self-discipline. Collaboration and teamwork is key to this role. In addition to all the “soft” people skills this role requires, you must be extremely organized and accountable. You should be able to field any question related to a project, either by knowing the answer or knowing who does. You need an uncanny knack for seeing around corners and the ability to predict and prepare for client needs and questions.
