**VML**

At VML, we are a beacon of innovation and growth in an ever-evolving world. Our heritage is built upon a century of combined expertise, where creativity meets technology, and diverse perspectives ignite inspiration. With the merger of VMLY&R and Wunderman Thompson, we have forged a new path as a growth partner that is part creative agency, part consultancy, and part technology powerhouse.

The Senior Account Manager (SAM) works directly with client and agency teams to develop strategic solutions and lead the go to market activity. Many of the job responsibilities are consistent with an Account Manager role and must be upheld; however, this position manages multiple relationships with the clients, leads/develops initial strategic input and sets expectations for project delivery. The SAM should interact with clients and internal partners as both an effective project steward and strategic partner who helps clarify and develop project objectives, identifies challenges, and guides the creation of strategies and metrics for success. This person will be responsible for both leading medium - large projects and acting as day-to-day support on strategic projects.

SAM's must identify opportunities for incremental growth. They should have a get-it-done mentality because a key component of this role is translating strategy to execution and being ultra-responsive. Working directly with the SAD and BL, they are responsible for ensuring success across all functional teams and overall client delivery. Financial responsibilities include tracking billing and expenses for the jobs and accounts managed.

**KEY RESPONSIBILITIES**

- Maintains and grows knowledge of clients' business and industry.
- Keeps team apprised of competitive activity.
- Financial management responsibilities include reviewing SOWs, projections and billing for campaigns managed.
- Proactive thought leadership around areas of interest and new opportunities.
