About eROI
eROI creates digital experiences across email, web, and social for clients big and small. At eROI, we are one—working as a wholly collaborative team to drive revenue by making our partners’ passions our own, considering each engagement and uniquely tailoring to exceed their goals. With boundless curiosity, we start with ‘why’ instead of ‘what’ to hear the truth so that we can craft the right solution. Seeking to inspire and be inspired by each interaction, we have an opportunity to be amazed and to understand that collectively we can create experiences greater than we can alone.
Summary
The Account Manager at eROI builds and drives the client relationship by continuously growing trust, confidence, and momentum with each account. This role requires digital experience and a strong understanding of managing personalized digital marketing programs across email, web, and social.
We look for motivated employees who establish themselves as an extension of the client’s marketing team, immersing themselves in their client’s business to bring new insights and strategic ideas to the eROI project team in order to exceed goals and unearth new opportunities. Account Managers keep a keen eye on the integrity of work, scope proposals, and work closely with Project Managers to monitor financial health and resources to maintain balance and deliver excellence.
