The product you'll work on: LIFE by PulsePoint: everything you need to plan, activate, analyze, and optimize digital healthcare advertising campaigns, in one platform. Our proprietary data targeting solutions are the backbone for thousands of healthcare brands seeking instant access to forecast, target, and engage DTC and HCP audiences at scale.

The Role

Associate Account Managers at PulsePoint are the foundation of our client services team. This is an entry point into a technically demanding, post-sales environment where you will learn the full campaign lifecycle from the ground up. Every AAM will own client accounts. When that happens depends on your background, readiness, and the needs of the business. It could come in your first few months or further into the track, but it is always the direction you are heading. The Rocket Program is designed to make sure you are ready when the moment comes. In the meantime, your day-to-day may lean toward supporting experienced AMs on operational tasks, stepping into client-facing work, or some combination of both. Either way, you are building toward the same outcome. Our AM team's mission: Ensure lifelong success of our customers by providing exceptional customer service at every touch point.
