Account Director

True Blue Strategies is a Seattle-based advocacy agency building a more just America. We take on the fights that matter—and we win them. The kind that moves policy, wins elections, and helps businesses and causes alike navigate their highest-stakes moments. We've earned more than 100 national awards over the past decade, and we're not slowing down.

We're a small, elite team of strategists, storytellers, and creatives who genuinely love what we do—and each other. We show up fully, fight hard, and celebrate wins as hard as we chase them. This isn't a place where you disappear into an org chart. It's a growing agency where the right person in this role will shape how we work, who we serve, and where we go next.

Sounds like your kind of team? Here's what we believe in:

• Do good work. Beautiful, effective, best-in-class—always.
• Give a shit. About clients, about teammates, about outcomes.
• Meet the moment.
• Show up, be courageous, and deliver when it counts.

The Account Director leads True Blue's most important client relationships, combining hands-on client delivery with strategic leadership—leading accounts, doing the work, growing revenue, and raising the standard for how the team serves clients. You own the health of your accounts: tracking progress against milestones, keeping projects on time and on budget, and always looking for the next opportunity to grow the relationship.

You'll be the person clients trust, the colleague teammates lean on, and the steady hand that keeps complex, fast-moving campaigns on track.

To thrive here, you need to be a swiss army knife, move fast without cutting corners, and care deeply about the work and the people doing it. Your thinking, your judgment, and your relationships are what our clients experience at True Blue. You'll have real ownership, real impact, and a seat at the table in a growing agency that's building something that matters.
