The HardPart Story

At HardPart Media, we don't do "vanity metrics" or fluff. For ten years, we've been a boutique Scottsdale agency proving that marketing works best when it's based on hard data, not just what sounds good in a pitch deck. We unite creatives and data analysts to drive real business results, ditching the bureaucracy for a no-BS approach.

The Role

This isn't a "sit back and forward emails" account management role. We need a senior leader who is tired of playing telephone between clients and internal teams. You will be the primary strategic partner for our core clients, translating complex campaign data into clear business recommendations that drive retention and growth. You won't just execute plans; you'll shape them.

Why This Role Works

Tired of agency life where "account management" means endless revision rounds and babysitting unrealistic expectations? Here, you work with clients who value performance over politics. You'll have the autonomy to lead cross-functional teams and the authority to push back when the data says a different direction is needed. We trust you to tell clients what they need to hear, not just what they want to hear.

What You’ll Do

Own client relationships and serve as the primary strategic partner
Develop and present quarterly strategies based on real performance data
Lead cross-functional teams (media, creative, analytics) to execute campaigns, managing timelines and budgets
Translate campaign performance into business insights, facilitating client meetings with clear storytelling
Anticipate client needs and proactively solve problems before they become issues
Drive client retention and identify expansion revenue opportunities
Collaborate with leadership on agency growth initiatives

Requirements

5-7 years of account management experience (agency preferred)
Proven track record managing multiple accounts and driving retention/growth
Strong understanding of digital marketing channels (paid media, SEO, content, social)
Excellent communication skills for distilling complex strategies into clear recommendations
Experience leading cross-functional teams and managing project timelines
Comfortable presenting to C-level executives
Data-literate—can read reports, identify trends, and translate insights into action

Nice-to-Have

Experience with marketing analytics platforms (Google Analytics, Looker Studio, etc.)
New business development or pitch experience
Background in performance marketing or DTC brands
Experience managing 6-7 figure media budgets
Familiarity with CRM tools and project management platforms
Understanding of eCommerce and lead generation funnels

Your voice matters—no micromanagement or bureaucracy

Our Culture

We are authentic, data-driven, and collaborative. It's a small team environment where your voice genuinely matters, free from micromanagement and unnecessary bureaucracy. We've spent a decade figuring out what actually works, and we need someone who can translate that into client growth. Work with clients who actually value good marketing, not just pretty presentations.

How To Apply

Send us your resume and tell us about a client relationship you're proud of—what made it successful, how you handled challenges, and what you learned. We want to see how you think about partnerships, not read a templated cover letter.
