The DEETS

Creative Core, LLC is a creative agency offering graphic design, web design and development, business consulting and other services. We are based in Los Angeles and have worked with 100+ diverse clients locally and worldwide.

We are seeking an account manager to join our growing and diverse team.

We are looking for an experienced account manager to act as liaison between our clients and the creative team. You will oversee projects on a day-to-day basis and ensure that they run smoothly and achieve their potential. We are not just here to create great design, we are here to provide great customer service. That means making our clients happy by communicating well, meeting deadlines and delivering within the budget. Your involvement will be essential in making this happen.

You will work on a variety of projects in web design and development, application development, identity design, print design, marketing consulting, and more. Projects range from large to small. Experience with non-profit organizations is a huge plus because they make up a large portion of our client list.

Daily contact with clients, designers and developers is a key part of the job, so you should be comfortable communicating with different branches of the company. Often, an account manager will be expected to pitch to clients, so a very confident and assertive attitude is necessary to promote the agency services.

We are a friendly and progressive team working in a fast-paced environment. We have a small team and everyone wears multiple hats – flexibility and adaptability is a must! The position will be both demanding and fulfilling, you’ll get to work on some amazing projects and meet great people. Our work environment is flexible – we are open to freelance, part-time, and full-time candidates.
