About The Role

We are hiring an Account Strategist to deliver S-tier strategy across Clouted's client accounts. This is a senior, client-facing role: you own the strategic arc of an account end-to-end - from winning proposals, to overseeing execution, to communicating reporting and data back to the client. You'll be the strategic partner our clients trust and the connective tissue between what we sell and what we deliver.

This is for a seasoned strategist who has lived in client strategy and campaigns, thinks in systems, and can turn a client's growth goal into a concrete, measurable distribution plan.

What You'll Own

1. Account Strategy & Client Leadership

- Own the strategic direction for your book of client accounts across clipping, fan pages, UGC, and paid.

- Serve as the senior strategic point of contact — the person clients look to for the plan and the "why."

- Translate each client's growth goals into a concrete, measurable distribution strategy.

2. Proposals & Pitches

- Build S-tier strategy proposals, pitch decks, and scopes that win and expand accounts.

- Partner with commercial/BD on pricing, deliverables, and KPIs.

3. Execution Oversight

- Oversee campaign execution across creative and ops, ensuring delivery stays true to the strategy.

- Steer in-flight adjustments when performance data calls for it.

4. Reporting & Data Communication

- Own the reporting narrative to clients — turn performance data into a clear, compelling story of impact.

- Define success metrics and reporting frameworks per account.

What Success Looks Like

- Proposals convert and accounts grow — clients renew and expand.

- Campaigns are executed in line with strategy and hit or exceed KPIs.

- Clients see Clouted as a strategic partner, not a vendor.

- Reporting is clear, credible, and consistently tied to client outcomes.

You'll Thrive in This Role If You…

- Have a strong background in client strategy, account leadership, or campaign strategy.

- Move fluidly between high-level strategy and hands-on oversight.

- Are an excellent communicator — you can present, defend, and sell strategy to clients.

- Are data-literate and can build a measurement story around a campaign.

- Have deep fluency in short-form, creator economy, and platform dynamics.

Requirements

- 5-7+ years in account/client strategy, growth, or campaign strategy - agency, creator-economy, or high-growth startup.

- Proven track record leading client accounts and designing campaigns that drove measurable results.

- Excellent communication and deck-building skills. - Has a deep understanding of marketing campaigns, social media strategy, and how brands, artists, and creators grow in 2026.

- Experience in music, gaming, or entertainment is strongly preferred.

What We Offer

- Unlimited PTO

- Work with top-tier clients across music, gaming, and entertainment

- Fast-moving environment with real ownership and growth opportunities

- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance options
