Coordinate closely with Services, Sales, and Delivery teams to ensure campaigns and engagements launch successfully and drive customer impact.

Lead Strategic Customer Engagement

Build strong working relationships with key customer stakeholders across marketing, social, and digital teams.
Lead strategic conversations and business reviews across assigned accounts, bringing in senior leadership when the opportunity, risk, or stakeholder level warrants additional involvement.
Maintain account maps that track stakeholders, decision makers, and organizational changes.

Deliver strong value articulation through business reviews, performance reporting, and ongoing strategic conversations.
Identify churn risks early and implement mitigation strategies.
Partner closely with Services to scope and execute engagements that deepen customer impact.

Operate with Excellence & Continuous Improvement

Maintain high operational rigor across CRM hygiene, forecasting, and internal communication.
Leverage AI and automation tools to improve efficiency and scale account workflows.
Stay current on trends in influencer marketing, social platforms, and the broader marketing ecosystem.
Continuously refine account planning and stakeholder management approaches based on performance data.

What success looks like:

Consistently delivering creator-led programs on time and at a high standard, with strong cross-functional coordination and minimal client escalation.
Building durable, multi-threaded relationships that reduce churn risk.
Maintaining accurate forecasting with no surprises.
Customers clearly articulating the business value and impact of partnering with Later.
Operating as a trusted internal and external partner in dynamic, fast-moving environments.
