Civilian is seeking an experienced Account Service professional that has previously been client leading with heavy digital media experience and fluency and proficiency navigating multi-tiered, complex client structures. The Account Supervisor is responsible for overseeing campaigns from start to finish, leading the delivery of high-quality, on-time, and on-budget agency services, and ensuring overall client satisfaction. They serve as the client advocate focusing on the “why and what” and works in close partnership with the Program Supervisor, who serves as the client-facing agency advocate focusing on the “how and when.” The Account Supervisor builds strong ongoing client relationships; develops a thorough understanding of clients’ businesses; facilitates and contributes to campaign development; ensures effective and efficient project management that meets clients’ needs, timelines, and budgets; and provides support, guidance, and counsel for junior Account Services team members.

Who You Are
A strategic and collaborative team player who has mastered the art of client service.

You are thoughtful and intuitive, always forecasting, always anticipating; you know what to do and when to do it without needing prompting. Your invaluable strategic insights and your high emotional intelligence make you an asset in any room. You are a generous and capable mentor, you lead by example, and you are always willing to roll up your sleeves and jump in to achieve the results the client and agency will be proud of.
Who We Are: Marketers For Good
Civilian is a different kind of marketing communications agency. For starters, we are a Certified B Corporation, which means we are part of a global network of companies using business as a force for good. We take on clients and projects that align with our mission to improve lives, strengthen communities, and better the world. Our work includes supporting mental health and wellness, preventing youth suicide, and reducing the impact of adverse childhood experiences. It also includes advancing environmental sustainability, promoting the value of education, and driving economic development. We call it “marketing for good.” From our headquarters in San Diego to our offices in Sacramento and Washington DC, we are dedicated to tackling challenging issues and creating positive change in the world.
We are a dedicated group of innovators and problem solvers who come to work every day grateful for the opportunity to make a difference. We support our employees’ professional and personal development with a rich set of benefits, humane working hours, and a culture that rewards embracing challenges and having a great time doing it. The success of our approach shows in our average employee tenure of nearly five years (vs. the industry average of 2.5) and in the number of Civilians that return. We offer a truly unique balance of professionalism and heart—and an office full of free snacks, a dog or two, and the occasional afternoon happy hour.
