Advertising account manager Jobs in Burnaby, BC

Oh, hello there, wearer of many hats.

Funday is a full service agency made up of people who are friendly and hardworking in equal measure. Inspired by an unrelenting belief that having fun is integral to creativity, we like to say we’re all about fun and brains. You know, that sweet spot between where pretty and performance meet and where insight and imagination produce the entirely unexpected? That’s where we thrive.

Senior Engagement Manager

We are looking for an experienced account manager who is also skilled in project management; this role is a hybrid, and we need someone who has a diverse skill set that bridges the project and account worlds. One minute you’ll discuss the details of a project’s deliverables with the creative team and the next, you’ll be talking budgets with your client. These roles aren’t always combined, but when they are, it’s pretty fun.

You will be expected to run your own account(s), and work with team members at all levels. Our clients and our team members are scattered around the globe. We’re a smaller group, so everyone gets their hands dirty. You’ll always be working with a team who has a passion for great work, including creatives, strategists and technologists who will help you push the work forward.

Location : You’ll work remotely from anywhere in BC, AB or ON.

What you’ll do

Account Management Responsibilities

A strong account manager takes the time to understand the client and their business and can even anticipate their needs. They are the bridge between the client and our internal team; they ensure clear communication between both sides and have the tough conversations when necessary.

• Act as the primary contact for projects between the client, team, and vendors
• Identify opportunities to deliver on client’s needs or to solve problems
• Build positive working relationships with key client teams
• Understand and anticipate clients’ short and long-term goals, as well as their competition
• Manage issues in a professional and timely manner, finding solutions and consensus among all parties

Project Management Responsibilities

A strong project manager takes the time to understand what it is the client needs so they can take that information back to the team and communicate it in a way that they can easily get to creating the magic. They are very organized and scheduled but can stop everything and switch directions at the drop of a hat.

Come be a Funatic

We believe you won’t perform at your best if you’re not having fun. And you can’t have fun if you’re not performing. We believe this creates the best client + agency relationships and is the best way to make great work.

We believe in respect, inclusivity, kindness, equity, and equality. We want to make a positive impact. We believe that collaboration is the fun part of being at work. We strive to create a culture in which “we” is more important than “me”.

Apart from loving terrible fun puns, we’re also 100% remote, and that might not appeal to everyone – but if you value flexibility, it’s perfect.

Join us.
