About the role

We’re looking for an Account Supervisor to co-lead the day-to-day stewardship of a major regulated brand in a dynamic, ever-evolving category and integrated agency environment. This is a strategic, creatively ambitious leadership role at the intersection of client partnership, cross-functional collaboration, and best-in-class execution.

You’ll join one of the most historic agency/client relationships in the industry—70+ years of partnership and one of the core accounts Leo Burnett himself won and worked on. The team is known for developing top-tier talent while fostering a fun, high-energy culture with plenty of opportunities for involvement in team events.

  • Lead day-to-day communication with mid- to senior-level clients independently.
  • Collaborate across departments and with partner agencies.
  • Understand production processes (digital, motion, print) and shepherd work from briefing to delivery.
  • Assess business health and call out risks related to timelines, scope, budget, or resource needs.
  • Use common agency tools for workflow, asset management, project tracking, and reporting (e.g., Workfront, SharePoint).

Requirements

  • 6+ years of agency experience, with a self-starter mindset and strong critical thinking skills.
  • Experience managing scope, budgets, and high-volume accounts in a fast-paced environment.
  • Proactive, solutions-oriented approach with the ability to anticipate client needs.
  • Strong, clear communication skills—able to translate complex information for clients and internal teams.
  • Comfort leading meetings, presenting work, and managing client relationships with polish and diplomacy.
  • Highly collaborative, building trust across creative, strategy, production, project management, and media partners.
  • Adaptable under pressure, able to pivot quickly in a dynamic environment.
  • Positive culture-builder who motivates junior talent and fosters a supportive environment.
  • Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams.
  • CPG and/or regulated category experience is a plus.
  • Proficiency with Workfront or other PM software (e.g., Jira).

Preferred Skills

  • AI proficiency.
  • Integrated agency experience.
  • Management experience, including developing junior talent (Intern to AE).
  • Paid media experience, including creative development, production, and talent management.
  • Budget management expertise.

Benefits
