We are Klever, The Human Ad Tech Company. We are looking for a skilled Senior Account Manager to join our dynamic team and help lead the development of our holding company ("Holdco") business. In this role, you will work in close partnership with our VP of Sales to build and grow relationships with major advertising holding companies (e.g. WPP, Publicis, Omnicom, IPG, Dentsu, Havas, Stagwell) and their agency networks, becoming a trusted advisor who unlocks new opportunities across their trading desks and agency teams.

The ideal candidate is a talented proposal crafter with exceptional communication and organizational skills, who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced, and travel-heavy environment. You will manage various communication channels, coordinate deliverables, and travel frequently to meet Holdco stakeholders in person — ultimately driving revenue growth and building lasting partnerships through exceptional campaign performance and customer experience.

• Partner closely with the VP of Sales to identify, prioritize, and develop new Holdco opportunities across trading desks, agency brands, and regional offices.
• Travel regularly (approx. 30–50%) to meet Holdco stakeholders in person, attend industry events, pitch meetings, and QBRs across multiple markets.
• Act as a trusted advisor and strategic partner to the sales team throughout the Holdco relationship life‑cycle.
• Manage the full client life‑cycle within Holdco accounts, fostering long‑term partnerships, exceeding performance goals, and identifying upsell/cross‑sell opportunities across agency brands.
• Leverage programmatic expertise to craft winning proposals for Holdco‑level RFPs, translating client needs into strategic, scalable solutions that maximize ROI.
• Develop data‑driven recommendations to unlock success for Holdco clients, defining measurable metrics aligned with agency‑and brand‑level goals.
• Ensure smooth onboarding and servicing of new Holdco accounts by collaborating seamlessly across departments and time zones.
• Nurture relationships across multiple Holdco stakeholders (trading desk leads, agency planners, brand teams), balancing competing priorities to maximize growth potential.
• Liaise across Holdco agencies and internal departments to ensure successful coordination of deliverables, efficient campaign execution, and performance optimization.
• Respond to Holdco‑level RFPs, RFQs, and RFIs with speed and accuracy, often under tight, high‑stakes timelines.
• Develop winning proposals that clearly articulate Klever's unique value proposition to holding companies and demonstrate a deep understanding of Holdco and brand needs.
• Produce meaningful reports demonstrating the impact of Klever's solutions on Holdco and brand‑level business objectives.
• Proactively identify and communicate the ongoing value Klever delivers to Holdco partners, fostering deep, multi‑year partnerships and long‑term satisfaction.
• Represent Klever at industry conferences, Holdco events, and in‑market visits, serving as an ambassador for the brand.

• 5–7 years of experience in programmatic account management; direct experience working with or within advertising holding companies (WPP, Publicis, Omnicom, IPG, Dentsu, Havas, Stagwell, etc.) strongly preferred.
• Proven ability to build and grow relationships at the holding‑company level, navigating complex, multi‑stakeholder organizations.
• Willingness and ability to travel frequently, domestically and internationally (approx. 30–50% travel), including overnight and multi‑day trips; valid passport required.
• Strong sales acumen and a proven ability to identify and capitalize on upsell and cross‑sell opportunities across agency brands within a Holdco.
