Account Executive, Business Leadership

Overview

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS JOB

You will be an integral part of a tenured, best-in-category team and managing the relationship with one of the world's largest retailers. Building a strong connection to consumers and culture is at the epicenter of our work. Solid partnerships with Clients is how we have evolved and grown our relationship. We are insight based, strategically minded and creatively courageous. We are looking for the right person to work hard and play hard with us.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE DOING IT AT MOMENTUM
Because the idea that a brand’s action is more important than its rhetoric is the key to our entire approach. It is all about the experience and we can—hands down, bar-none—create that better than anyone else. That’s not jargon or ego—it’s truth. Experience creates the connections that lead to loyalty, advocacy and sales. So we imagine and create those things here, in what we call the total brand experience.

And how we do it is with genius, dedication, strategic thinking and working together as one fearless, handsome troop. Before you get any ideas, it’s important you know we’re serious about taking care of each other here. So think on that. We work too closely not to have fun together. We work too smart not to make the world better.

And we work too well not to continually push for more. Think on all that, too.
