Associate Director of Client Services

If you're an experienced client services and strategic leadership professional who thinks strategically, builds real trust with clients, and thrives in a flexible, fast-paced agency environment, Ample has an opportunity that might be a great match for you.

In this role, you'll serve as the primary strategic and relationship owner for one of our flagship clients, while also managing a portfolio of additional retainer accounts and nurturing key growth relationships across the agency. You'll operate at a senior level — leading high-stakes client strategy conversations — while staying hands-on enough to jump into the details when it's the right call.

Ample is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. This is a remote role that requires on-site availability in Cincinnati once per week. This position is open to candidates located in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia. Preference is given to candidates living within a 100 mile radius of Cincinnati. In addition to being on-site in Cincinnati once per week, the candidate must be willing to travel on occasion when a project or company initiative requires their attendance.

The salary range for this position is $100k - $115k.

Ample is a place for smart, interesting, and passionate people to call home. It's also the first call for anyone seeking great digital work.

Our culture is the brand in action. Caring about one another personally leads to a contagious empathy for our clients and their needs. It's so refreshing, clients continue to work with us - as do former employees.

• Provide light people-management and coaching support to mid-level client services and operations team members, potentially including a formal reporting relationship
• Be willing to do hands-on execution work directly within client tools when needed, while helping the broader team determine when that work should shift elsewhere
• Over time, begin participating in new client discovery projects as a strategic and operational co-lead alongside senior team members, building toward independently supporting discovery for new clients
• Articulate requirements clearly to clients, developers, designers, copywriters, strategists, and other team members
• Review accounts, identify opportunities, and support the development of meaningful client relationships
• Proactively identify risks, blockers, shifting priorities, and opportunities to improve process or outcomes
