FleishmanHillard is a global integrated communications agency delivering transformational outcomes for some of the world’s biggest brands. We are seeking a Senior Vice President to serve as a Client Relationship Manager (CRM) and account leader in our Raleigh office. This role will set the strategy and manage and coordinate the marketing and advertising initiatives of a key client from start to finish. 

The ideal candidate is an excellent team leader and collaborator. We seek someone with the tenacity, resourcefulness, business sense, proactive curiosity, and cool-headedness to behave like the CEO of their account. Regular interactions with senior-level clients are a critical component of this position, which is focused on developing and implementing marketing and advertising strategies and programs for a business-to-business client whose main audience exhibits behaviors and traits similar to that of a consumer.

The Senior Vice President will touch every aspect of a project in some way--from the relationship with the client, to the relationship with the team, and from strategy and finance to creative and production-- to ensure that a project meets the client’s and agency’s ambitions to generate great, effective creative work, on time and on budget, and to motivate the team along the way. You will deepen the client relationship and grow their business in a meaningful way. Your day-to-day work will be strategic in nature, developing initiatives and providing creative, practical solutions to client issues.

This role focuses nearly entirely on the marketing and advertising strategies of the client’s business, with some focus on capabilities such as earned and social media. The ability and vision to integrate multiple marketing, advertising, and communications tactics – and connect the dots – will be critical to success.

FleishmanHillard is intentional about using diversity, equity, and inclusion to strengthen the bonds between us, grow our people and create spaces for everyone to thrive. Staying true to our commitment to our people and the communities in which we live and work, we do not discriminate in any aspect of employment on the basis of any characteristic protected by law. As part of our ongoing effort to be the world’s most inclusive agency, we are committed to seeking candidates who possess and demonstrate a profound interest in furthering our DE&I goals.  

Responsibilities:

  • Serve as the agency’s quarterback, able to create the conditions for the creative work to thrive. This senior leader has high emotional intelligence and is able to nurture junior team members as well as client relationships.

  • Navigate agency processes effortlessly and lean on the internal expertise available (across offices) to deliver outstanding creative solutions to a range of business problems.

  • Foresee issues before they arise and take pressure off the team by tackling the difficult conversations and knowing when to escalate for support.
  • Maintain keen awareness of the value the agency brings to the table for the benefit of clients.
  • Have an entrepreneurial mindset and always be on the hunt for growth on accounts, keeping an eye out for client needs and quickly translating those needs into a solution that grows the agency business. Continuously seek new ways to deepen the client relationship.

  • Ability to oversee the work of project managers and, at times, serve as a project manager to ensure work is delivered at the highest quality and on time.
  • Proven ability to build rapport with senior client leaders.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
