THE MARKETING ARM Account Executive | Consumer Engagement | NYC Salary in the United States

WE ARE TMA. CREATIVITY THAT MATTERS.

Job Overview:

Our team is dynamic, agile for our clients, and dangerous to our competition. We’re a motivated & collaborative team bursting with passion, and in our world big ideas rule. Every day, we push the ideas, push each other, and push ourselves to deliver work that matters.

We are looking for an Account Executive to come hold all the power; from strategic tasks to tactical executions, the one with the plan, and the ability to multitask that leave others in awe. Fearless in the face of obstacles, you look challenges in the face and say “bring it on!”. And while a lot happens behind the scenes, you’re the one pulling the strings—the one that makes it all possible. Great power comes with great responsibility.

When you become a part of our team, you’ll get all the perks of a big agency with the close-knit community of a small core team. And with team members in NYC, Connecticut, Chicago, Dallas, and CA, you’ll be dialed into a larger community with endless opportunities.

Responsibilities:

You are a thinker and a doer. A curious, entrepreneurial spirit. A fearless communicator. For you, there’s no project too small or too big: from crafting creative client briefs to tweaking invoice line items, you tackle every task with pride.

You’re the first to raise your hand, whether it’s to offer help or ask for it, because you’re dedicated to learning from others and pushing yourself. And while you’re detail-oriented and find great satisfaction in correcting that typo two other people missed, you also never let the big picture out of your sight.
