Account Manager

Freelance · Remote

← All roles

Client-facing, calm under pressure, and obsessed with delivery.

You'll be the point of contact for a small number of active clients, keeping projects on track, keeping founders informed, and keeping the work moving. This isn't a relationship management role where you send update emails and book review calls. This is an execution role. You own the delivery.

What you'll do

  • Manage a portfolio of client accounts end-to-end — from onboarding through to launch and beyond
  • Run project timelines, chase deliverables, and make sure nothing slips
  • Translate client goals into clear, actionable briefs for designers, copywriters and developers
  • Lead client communications — updates, feedback loops, reviews — with zero fluff
  • Spot problems before they become problems. Escalate fast, solve faster.
  • Keep internal teams aligned without creating unnecessary process
  • Identify opportunities to grow accounts — upsells, additional services, extended engagements

What we're looking for

  • Experience managing client relationships in a marketing or agency setting
  • Comfortable discussing brand, web and media campaigns with confidence
  • Strong written communication — no fluff, no filler, no 12-paragraph emails
  • Organised without being bureaucratic. You use systems, not spreadsheets held together with hope.
  • You understand the difference between being busy and being productive
  • Bonus: experience with project tools like ClickUp, Asana, or Monday.com

This role is for you if

  • Clients trust you. Teams rely on you. Nothing falls through the cracks.
  • You can hold a founder-level conversation about brand, positioning and growth
  • You'd rather fix the problem yourself than escalate it to someone else
  • You're the person who remembers the detail everyone else forgot
  • You want to work somewhere that values output over hours

This role isn't for you if

  • You think account management is sending status updates and scheduling calls
  • You need detailed SOPs for every task
  • You struggle to push back on clients when it's the right thing to do
  • You want a big team around you. We're small. You'll feel it.
