Account Coordinator

  • Location: Minnetonka, Minnesota
  • Type: Direct Hire
  • Job #52566

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)

Director of Media

  • Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin
  • Type: Direct Hire
  • Job #52516

Director of Media 

We’ve partnered with Harley-Davidson, an iconic, globally recognized consumer brand with deep heritage and one of the most emotionally connected customer bases in its category. The business operates through a dealer-driven model, requiring tight alignment between national marketing strategy and local execution.

The company is currently evolving its marketing approach, moving from a historically performance-heavy model to a more integrated, full-funnel strategy that better connects brand storytelling with measurable business outcomes.

The Opportunity

This is a critical role in modernizing how media drives growth.

Today, media has been heavily focused on lower-funnel performance metrics. The opportunity is to build a more balanced, full-funnel media strategy, one that supports brand building while still delivering measurable results at the dealer level.

You will play a central role in connecting national campaigns to local impact, while helping the organization think differently about measurement, attribution, and media effectiveness.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the development and execution of a full-funnel media strategy across digital, social, search, programmatic, and video

  • Manage and optimize a significant media investment, ensuring both efficiency and impact

  • Translate brand and product priorities into clear, actionable media plans

  • Connect national media efforts to dealer-level outcomes and performance

  • Evolve attribution and measurement approaches to better capture long-term and full-journey impact

  • Partner closely with brand, creative, retail, and analytics teams to deliver integrated campaigns

  • Lead external agency partners and ensure strong strategic and executional alignment

What Success Looks Like

  • Media strategy evolves from primarily lower-funnel to true full-funnel orchestration

  • Improved ability to connect media investment to both brand and business outcomes

  • Stronger alignment between national campaigns and dealer-level performance

  • More sophisticated use of data, testing, and measurement

  • Cross-functional teams operate in a more integrated and collaborative way

  • Media becomes a strategic driver of growth, not just a support function

Ideal Background

  • 10–15+ years of experience in paid media, performance marketing, or integrated media strategy

  • Experience managing large-scale media budgets

  • Deep expertise across modern media channels and platforms

  • Strong understanding of full-funnel strategy and attribution models

  • Experience working within complex or distributed business models (dealer, retail, franchise, etc.)

  • Background in either in-house brand environments or leading agencies

Who Thrives Here

  • Strategic thinkers who are also hands-on problem solvers

  • Individuals comfortable navigating ambiguity and change

  • Leaders who collaborate effectively across teams and functions

  • People who balance data-driven thinking with practical execution

 

Why This Role

  • Opportunity to help build a modern media function within an iconic brand

  • High-impact role with visibility across marketing and leadership

  • Chance to shape how media contributes to both brand and business growth

  • A role that blends strategy, analytics, and execution

    ***The role is based in Milwaukee, WI and requires onsite presence three days per week. Relocation assistance will be provided.**
