Account Executive

You are a relationship-driven leader who translates client goals into high-performing marketing plans, is fluent in data analytics, and shows a track record of strategic account growth.

You are looking to join a well-established agency where you can act as a true extension of your clients’ teams – helping them navigate complex enrollment cycles, measure performance, and confidently reinvest in their growth.

As an Account Executive (AE) at Metric Marketing, you will own and manage a high-value book of business made up of North America’s top private and independent schools.

This is a dual role designed for a seasoned agency or marketing professional with strong commercial acumen. You act as a senior marketing consultant and growth partner – driving portfolio growth through data-driven annual plans, C-suite performance narratives, and strategic account expansion.

Success in this role looks like: marketing and strategic expertise, consultative account leadership, and financial ownership over your book of business.

Work remotely from anywhere in Canada, with periodic travel to meet clients face-to-face and connect with our head office team in Winnipeg, MB.
