Account Executive

Winston Salem, NC

Our team has the talent to do incredible things. Which is good, because our clients expect incredible things.

We need an account executive who can help us deliver the incredible things we need to deliver every single day. Someone who embraces processes that work and challenges ones that don’t. Someone who sweats the details and timelines and release-to-production dates.

We are looking for non-traditional thinkers. Employees who succeed at The Variable come up with brilliant campaigns one day and breakthrough product development ideas the next. You need to be the self-starting type. You need to be funny and engaging and hard working and willing to pitch in on whatever crazy opportunity pops up next. We are small by design. So we hire carefully.

(Due to the high volume of responses, we will only be able to contact you if we move forward with your candidacy. Thank you for your interest in The Variable.)

YOU MUST

Be a quick thinking, curious individual, a fan of great creative work and be someone who can actively participate in creative reviews and lead internal work sessions.
Love to learn about what makes a business thrive. Be curious about the category landscape, what makes people tick and embrace the consumer decision journey.
Help be responsible for ensuring the timeliness and quality of work that is delivered to your clients. And help manage the internal resources to ensure flawless implementation.
Be able to build strong, collaborative working relationships with all internal team members and help make sure all folks are brought into the process at the right time.
Manage multiple projects from conception to completion, by anticipating challenges and ensuring deadline and budget adherence.
Embody the values of The Variable while maintaining a positive attitude and dedication.
Have an interest outside of advertising that you are just as passionate about as advertising (we are firm believers in work/life balance…we need to know you love something else).
