Account Manager

Experience Without Limits. Come shape the future of brand experience. At Jack Morton, we create, and build, head‑turning, smile‑inducing, impact‑driving brand experiences. We exist to redefine what experiential can achieve, helping clients unlock the full value of experiences. That takes a team that’s bold, curious, and acts as one – building on ideas, pushing boundaries, and showing up for each other. Here, you’ll do your best work, grow fast, and collaborate across clients, disciplines, and global teams to bring new ideas to life. This is a place where curiosity drives what’s next, boldness raises the bar, and we win together. Where ownership is expected, egos are left at the door, and the work reflects the people behind it. Experience without limits — in your work, your growth, and your impact. Must be able to work hybrid in San Francisco; Los Angeles considered** We’re looking for a Senior Account Manager (experiential/events) who thrives where complexity meets pace and who brings the kind of instincts that can’t be taught. Someone who brings order to chaos, earns the team’s trust as the person who knows every detail, and delivers to a standard that makes clients feel effortlessly in control. If you’re the kind of person others lean on to keep the engine running, this role was built for you. You will be the operational core of a fast‑moving account team, supporting the Account Director on well‑known technology clients. Your portfolio will centre on brand activations, large‑scale conferences, and multi‑workstream programs running simultaneously. You’re the person the team trusts completely to track every moving part, flag risks before they land, and deliver materials to a standard that reflects Jack Morton’s reputation for excellence. You'll be embedded in a demanding environment where excellence is the baseline and agility is essential. Think large‑scale experiential builds, compressed timelines, and a client who operates at the highest level — you'll need to show up to all of it. You will be the connective tissue between creative, production, and client. The person who holds steady when things shift (and they will), brings calm to a team that runs hard, and always finds a path forward. Not because you were told to — but because that's who you are. This is not a role for someone who waits for direction. You anticipate what’s needed, build the tracker before you’re asked, write the status update before the meeting.
