Job Description: Senior Account Manager
About 3fold Communications:
3fold is a dynamic, problem-solving agency that uses our expertise in ways we believe can make the world a better place. We use communications, marketing, and advertising solutions that identify and create connections, not noise. We listen, lead, learn, and give back. We challenge mediocrity. We are not a typical advertising agency, nor a communications and public affairs firm. We use marketing for good and not evil and choose or create the right solutions for our clients based on their goals, not our egos.
We choose to work with clients who lift up their customers in industries we believe are essential for community growth and sustainability: Community Impact (government, utilities, transportation), Education + Workforce Development, and Healthcare. We look for clients who are committed to making a positive impact in the lives of their customers and teams.
We value a team who is Hungry, Human, and Humble. That means we look for a team who strives to continue learning, who is empathetic to what their clients are trying to accomplish, and who have the experience and knowledge to lead them past their goals.
