Account Supervisor

Are you a dynamic account leader looking to make a real impact? Thinking about where you might want to take your career next? Is job satisfaction to you about more than just a paycheck?

Maybe it’s time for a Plan B.

This is a hands-on opportunity to lead key accounts and grow a team. To develop strong bonds with highly motivated clients. To co-create effective creative campaigns that work to attract and retain the right kinds of customers. To support our growing agency’s ambitious new business initiatives. And to work alongside a ridiculously talented creative team…all at an agency where your professional passion and sense of purpose will really make a difference.

Plan B is a progressive, full-service ad agency in River North with an exciting opportunity for an accomplished Account Supervisor with 5+years of ad agency experience working in lifestyle marketing. And, if it’s senior lifestyle marketing, that’s a huge plus! We need a cool-headed, uber-organized self-starter with an entrepreneurial spirit that can serve as the client’s “go-to” strategic partner. Someone with the leadership skills to oversee a team in delivering on a wide variety of projects, on-time and on-budget, and consistently exceeding client expectations.

If you’re a savvy, diligent, and detail-oriented leader with strong relationship-building skills capable of owning and driving a client’s business forward, we want to talk to you.

This Account Supervisor role is primarily an on-site position at our Chicago River North location. Regularly attending work in-person (5 days a week, M-F) is essential for the success of the company, our clients, and the entire Plan B team.
