Account Supervisor, Digital Marketing Agency
REPORTS TO: Director, Strategic Communications & Marketing
DEPARTMENT: Client Services
LOCATION: GTA
Overview
circus is on a growth trajectory, and we are looking for someone with the ‘it’ factor to be part of the team that breaks new ground and tangibly contributes to the overall growth and success of the company.
We’re looking for an “account-preneur” – someone who is conceptually strong with a thorough understanding of digital marketing and client services, who is excited by the opportunity to work at a smaller, award-winning agency outside the downtown core. (Yes, they do exist!)
We might be a smaller agency, but we work with big names you’ll recognize. Our clients love our out-of-the-box ideas that shape and move their business forward.
We’re looking for someone whose clients love working with them, not just because they are a wonderful person, but because they bring bold marketing ideas and expertise, outstanding results, and deliver high quality client service.
If you have ‘it’, please email your application with cover letter to careers@wearecircus.ca.
