• Manage all client communication, including regular email and meeting cadences, documenting all interactions, and maintaining organized client folders and project documentation.
• Ensure the quality of client-facing outputs by preparing meeting agendas, reviewing Account Reviews internally, and proofing all documents for clarity and accuracy before delivery.
• Serve as the central communication point (client to Strategist to Operations) and ensure the Strategist is equipped with clear tasks and accurate notes for execution.
• Proactively manage campaign health by monitoring weekly pacing, flagging risks (under-delivery, tracking issues, inventory), and tracking all approvals and dependencies.
• Continually improve professional skills, including product knowledge, communication, documentation, and leadership.
• Demonstrate ownership, accountability, and strong problem-solving by attending training and participating in discussions/audits.
