Position: Account Planner (PT, with potential to build to FT)
Location: Flexible
Job Overview
We’re looking for an Account Planner to join our team and help manage and grow select BibRave client partnerships. BibRave works with large and small brands (shoe companies, nutrition companies, etc.), running/endurance endemic and non-endemic, so there’s a lot of opportunity to work with some really exciting and inspiring companies.
We’re a team of passionate professionals looking for a creative team player who’s highly driven and very organized,. We need relentless problem solvers who are motivated by finding solutions, rather than stymied by challenges. We’re a close-knit team and simply can’t accommodate drama or lone-wolf operators, so being a team player is an absolute must.. We all work across a multitude of projects and always have each other’s backs, even if that means picking up tasks or helping out beyond your job description. Teamwork is everything at BibRave, and competitive applicants will be clearly established and proven team players.
Strong applicants will have a robust background in client management, social media or experiential marketing,,and proven success executing client programs. Understanding both client/account management and operations is extremely important.
Must be a proven leader and self-starter. Intimate knowledge of the running/racing/multisport landscape is plus, as is the ability to take initiative in proposing new ideas and seeing them through to fruition.
Last, but not least, competitive applicants will be smart. “Smart” can mean a lot of things, but mainly we mean that you’ll exercise sound judgement, approach and solve problems thoughtfully and analytically, be able to “read your audience” and adjust written and spoken communications accordingly.
