Account Manager (Remote in New York, Oregon, Illinois, Colorado, or Ohio)

NOW HIRING: Account Manager (Remote in New York, Oregon, Illinois, Colorado, or Ohio)

Are you a relationship builder who loves being a client's trusted advisor, understanding their goals, and finding new ways to help them succeed? Want to work with global brands, develop standout skill sets, and grow with a company that's past its start-up phase but still small enough that your contributions will be integral and recognized?

At Lumino, we help organizations monitor, manage, and defend their digital presence—especially on tricky platforms like Wikipedia, Wikidata, TrustPilot, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor. This niche focus has made us a natural partner for brands looking to understand (a) how their content surfaces in ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI search engines, and (b) what can be done to influence those results. We're trusted experts in this space, and now we're looking for an account manager to join our fully remote team.

This is your chance to learn a niche, in-demand skill set, own meaningful client relationships, and build a career in digital communications—all while working from your home office.

About Lumino

We help organizations monitor, manage, and defend their digital presence. With years of experience and an ethical approach, we are known as trusted leaders in Wikipedia consulting and are expanding our AI discoverability offerings.

The platforms we specialize in have high (knowledge) barriers to entry, and our expertise is highly valued in the communications field. As a result, Lumino employees develop highly valued communication skills, including Wikipedia consulting, AEO/GEO, and hands-on digital monitoring. After a few years at Lumino, you’ll stand out in a crowd of your communications peers. 

We seek to redefine the client-agency relationship by becoming an indispensable partner through trust, strategy, and communication. To do this, we put our employees first because we know that a happy team is the only way to guarantee satisfied clients.
