[Hiring] Senior Account Manager @Clearlink Technologies

Role Description

The Penny Hoarder is looking for a Senior Account Manager to own a portfolio of strategic partner relationships, driving revenue and gross margin growth while shaping how those partnerships evolve over time. You'll manage partners across financial services and other consumer categories in our portfolio. Priority verticals include banking, credit cards, lending, insurance, and investing.

This is a highly visible role with real ownership over account performance and growth. You'll serve as a trusted advisor to partners, using performance data and market knowledge to identify growth opportunities, negotiate pricing and budgets, and expand successful partner relationships. You'll work cross-functionally with paid media, yield, editorial, and product teams to improve campaign performance to meet both TPH and partner goals.

This role is ideal for a seasoned account leader who pairs strong relationship skills with sharp analytical judgment, someone who doesn't just manage accounts but grows them. You'll also serve as a resource for the broader team, sharing best practices and helping raise the bar for how we manage partnerships.

We are open to remote candidates. Candidates must be willing to work on Eastern Time.
