Account Coordinator
We’re partnering with a highly specialized, boutique B2B marketing agency that operates at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and commercialization, primarily within the medtech and healthcare innovation space.
This is a tight-knit, senior team (?8 people) that works directly with some of the most innovative and well-funded companies in the world, helping bring complex, life-changing products to market.
Unlike larger agencies, this team is:
- Deeply embedded with clients (often acting as an extension of their marketing team)
- Hands-on across the full lifecycle from strategy through execution
- Known for precision, quality, and trust in a highly regulated environment
They’ve been around for 30+ years, are financially stable, and are intentionally staying small, nimble, and high-impact.
The Opportunity
This is an opportunity for an Account Manager (or strong Senior Coordinator) to step into a role where you’ll quickly become indispensable to both clients and internal teams.
This is not a “sit back and observe” role.
You’ll be:
- At the center of client communication
- Driving project execution across multiple workstreams
- Ensuring nothing falls through the cracks in a fast-moving environment
Within 6 months, the goal is for you to:
- Own day-to-day client interactions
- Run meetings and manage communication confidently
- Act as the operational backbone for key accounts
If you’re someone who wants real responsibility early and the chance to learn directly from senior leaders, this is that kind of role.
What You’ll Do
- Own day-to-day coordination across multiple client accounts and projects
- Prepare for and help lead client meetings (agendas, notes, follow-ups, next steps)
- Translate client feedback into clear direction for internal creative and production teams
- Manage timelines, deliverables, and approvals across fast-moving workstreams
- Open, track, and traffic projects to ensure work is moving forward efficiently
- Review and proof deliverables with a high level of accuracy (critical in medtech)
- Monitor scope, flag risks early, and help manage budgets and resourcing
- Jump in on ad hoc client needs (presentations, materials, updates)
- Support light social media and content coordination for select clients and internal marketing efforts
What Success Looks Like
- Clients feel confident, supported, and never in the dark
- Projects move forward smoothly, on time, and with minimal fire drills
- Internal teams are aligned, clear, and set up for success
- You become a trusted point of contact for day-to-day client needs
Ideal Background
- 1–5 years in account management, client services, or project coordination (agency experience strongly preferred)
- Proven ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously
- Strong communication skills, comfortable interacting with clients directly
- Experience working cross-functionally with creative, strategy, or production teams
- Highly detail-oriented with strong proofing/editing instincts
Nice to have:
- Exposure to healthcare, medtech, or other complex/regulated industries
- Familiarity with tools like Basecamp, Asana, or Monday
Who Thrives Here
This role is a fit for someone who:
- Takes ownership, you don’t wait to be told what to do
- Is highly organized and naturally detail-oriented
- Cares deeply about doing things right, not just getting them done
- Is comfortable in a role that blends account management + project management
- Can balance being a client advocate with understanding internal constraints
- Is proactive, communicative, and doesn’t let things slip
This is NOT the right fit if you:
- Are looking for a highly structured, layered agency environment
- Want a clear, fast track to promotion into leadership
- Prefer to stay purely strategic or purely executional
Why This Role
- Work directly with cutting-edge medtech companies and innovations
- Gain exposure to high-level strategy and commercialization work
- Be part of a collaborative, low-ego, supportive team
- Learn from experienced leadership in a hands-on environment
- Have meaningful impact in a small, nimble agency where your work matters
- Hybrid flexibility (with strong team culture and in-person collaboration)
