Account Manager
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Agency GSD&M Job Function Account Management and Growth Job Subfunction Account Management Job Description - At GSD&M, we’re on a mission to build First & Only brands... (mission statement). This could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction: use case: "About the role" heading. We'll put mission description there. - DEPARTMENT: Account Leadership REPORTS TO: Account Supervisor TRAVEL: 10-20% FLSA STATUS: Exempt SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES: Yes LOCATION: Austin These are metadata; we can fold into a short
maybe under About the role or separate? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a paragraph with these details. - POSITION FUNCTION As an Account Manager, you are the backbone... (description). This is part of About the role. - Specific Responsibilities/Duties: list of bullet-like paragraphs each starting with capitalized phrase. We'll turn into
- for each duty.
List of duties:
1. SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF. Nailing the everyday tasks... Managing job change forms, owning status reports, overseeing estimates/billing, crafting and distributing conference reports and meeting agendas, helping with meeting prep—having all of these expected elements in place and moving seamlessly allow you and your team to focus on what truly makes a difference.
2. OWN THE PROCESS. To a senior account leader... Lead the creative process from briefing to presentation and production through release. Problem solve, find solutions and remove roadblocks to great work. Be in lock step with your Project Manager... Work with that partner closely... Make it your personal mission to make every client meeting successful... Take the time to think through who is attending... Become adept at the art of managing up (to your supervisor), down (to any junior team members or interns) and sideways (to your peers/client team).
3. CHAMPION INTELLIGENT AND INSPIRING STRATEGY. Understand strategy and ensure that it translates into day-to-day account activity. Know a client’s business and how the creative work answers to that strategy. This includes paying the price to know the real problem—the deep issue in culture, the category or business that the client may not see.
4. FUEL CREATIVITY. Creative is not a department. Engage in the work and partner with your creative teams to come to an end product that meets client needs and delivers cutting-edge, smart and creative work. Inspire ideas and build on others. Everything you do is in service of the work.
5. BE A TRUSTED CLIENT PARTNER. Nurture relationships... This goes for both the client side—everyone from the CMO’s Admin to the Marketing Research Manager—and for relationships with partner agencies for client success. Our primary goal is to build our client’s business. Know their business and how they make and lose money. Track results and lead optimization. Help our clients be heroes in their own organization. Most importantly, always do what you say you’re going to do. Ensure the agency delivers.
6. REMAIN CURIOUS. Hone your craft. Keep up with the competitive landscape and relevant cultural trends in search of insights and truths to inspire big ideas and new thinking within the team. Be a student of our business and your client’s business.
7. MAXIMIZE TALENT. Train, guide and empower the Assistant Account Managers and interns. Share your knowledge and provide learning opportunities for the next generation that will better the agency in the end. Don’t forget to build your own skill set and seek out opportunities to do so.
8. BE UNFLAPPABLE. Demonstrate a commanding presence, but listen. When it’s your meeting, lead the conversation but incite participation. Organize the chaos and calm the waters.
That's responsibilities.
- Minimum Qualifications: list bullet-like.
We need sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have Minimum Qualifications (maybe Qualifications). Also we have "Strong presentation and writing skills", etc. Those could be Skills.
We have "At GSD&M, inclusion is our superpower... generous benefits, plenty of time off, and opportunities for growth". That's Benefits.
We have schedule info: "This role requires regular in-office presence with a minimum of three days per week...". Also Omnicom policy: employees to work in office minimum three days a week unless additional directed. Objective to increase over time, many agencies require five days. This is schedule info (in-office requirement). So we can create a Schedule section.
Pay: No mention of salary/pay. So we should NOT create Pay section.
Benefits: mention generous benefits, plenty of time off, opportunities for growth. That's enough for Benefits.
Now we need to decide which sections to include: About the role (mission + position function + metadata), Responsibilities (the list), Qualifications (minimum qualifications), Skills (maybe from qualifications list: strong presentation and writing skills, strong listening and interpersonal skills, management/team-building skills, etc.), Benefits, Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We need to use
for each section heading. Inside sections, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, privacy notice, etc. Remove those.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to ensure we keep all details from the posting that are substantive.
Let's extract all substantive content:
Mission statement: At GSD&M, we’re on a mission to build First & Only brands, meaning the first to do it and the only ones who can. We’re able to do this because we set a high bar for ourselves and our work. We care about what we put out in the world. We’re humans who like other humans. Our ideas make a difference. Shift culture. Create a smile. Inspire change. Initiate belly laughs. Deepen our understanding of the world and ourselves. We grow. We learn. We get better. We do it all over again. Because that’s what it takes to build and be First & Only.

Inclusion statement: At GSD&M, inclusion is our superpower. An inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are encouraged and empowered makes the work better, makes our agency better and ultimately makes the industry better. That’s why we’re proud to be recognized by the Advertising Federation’s Mosaic Awards year after year for our efforts in diversity, equity and inclusion. We consider ourselves lucky. Every day we wake up and get to build First & Only brands in an inclusive environment where everyone matters, all while enjoying generous benefits, plenty of time off, and opportunities for growth whether you’re just starting out or have been in the biz for a while.
Schedule info: This role requires regular in-office presence with a minimum of three days per week, to engage and collaborate in in-person team interactions and meetings as required. Omnicom’s policy requires employees to work in the office for a minimum of three days a week, unless additional in-office days are directed by their agency or manager. Our objective is to increase this requirement over time, and many of our agencies as well as Omnicom’s corporate group already require five days of in-office attendance.
We should not include EEO statement, accommodation, privacy notice, etc.
Now we need to map to sections.
About the role: Could include mission statement, department/reports/travel/FLSA/supervisory/location, position function paragraph. That's a lot of prose; we can put in
elements. Responsibilities: the list of duties. Qualifications: Minimum qualifications (BA required, etc.) maybe also include "Strategic thought leadership" etc. But those could be skills. However Qualifications section could contain the BA, years experience, etc. Skills section could contain the soft skills: presentation/writing, listening/interpersonal, management/team-building, balancing expectations, anticipating issues, organized/detail-oriented, MS Office proficiency. But the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But they ask to use headings for those specific categories if content exists. We have content for both Qualifications and Skills. Could we merge them into a single "Qualifications" section that includes both? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid combining but suggests we can have those headings. It says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we should have Qualifications and Skills separate only if each has enough substantive content. Both have several items; could be separate. We also have "Requirements" heading possible; but we already have Qualifications and Skills. Could we use Requirements for the minimum qualifications (BA, years experience) and Skills for the abilities? That seems reasonable. Thus: - About the role: mission + metadata + position function. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: BA required, preferred concentration..., 2+ years agency experience..., etc. (the concrete requirements). - Skills: Strategic thought leadership, Strong presentation and writing skills, Strong listening and interpersonal skills, Management/team-building skills, Effectively and confidently balance..., Anticipate and address..., Must be highly organized..., Proficient in MS Office... - Benefits: generous benefits, plenty of time off, opportunities for growth, inclusive environment, Mosaic Awards recognition. - Schedule: in-office presence three days per week, Omnicom policy, objective to increase, many agencies require five days. We must not include Pay. Check that we haven't missed any substantive info: The inclusion statement also mentions "We consider ourselves lucky. Every day we wake up and get to build First & Only brands in an inclusive environment where everyone matters, all while enjoying generous benefits, plenty of time off, and opportunities for growth whether you’re just starting out or have been in the biz for a while." That's benefits. Also mention "At GSD&M, inclusion is our superpower. An inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are encouraged and empowered makes the work better, makes our agency better and ultimately makes the industry better. That’s why we’re proud to be recognized
