US Account Manager - Full Time (US Based role)

Position Overview

Relationships matter! But we don’t have to tell YOU that. You already know that in a fast-paced, global digital environment clear communication, proper planning and compassion is the only way to lead! And you thrive when you’re leading the way for others. 

We are a dedicated team of women helping online course creators and owners of membership sites build engaged audiences, create profitable live launches and scale their businesses faster using Facebook and Instagram advertising. We attract high calibre clients who make a big impact and are changing their students’ lives with their courses and memberships. Our clients often say that we care as much about their business as they do. 

In this role, you will be expected to show up for people in a variety of ways. Your number one job is to support people including clients, team members, suppliers and contractors, and students. Your impeccable communication skills and project management skills will enable you to succeed. 

Our ideal account manager has extensive experience in managing Facebook and Instagram ads for online course creators and is nothing short of obsessed with the live launching online marketing model. 

You lead with compassion and kindness, you pride yourself on how organised you are and probably funnel-hack other course launches in your spare time. 

This is a remote, full-time position reporting to our CEO, Salome who is based in Brisbane, Australia. You will be expected to be available for meetings regularly after 4pm but never later than 9pm Pacific. Your team members will be located around Australia and The Phillippines and you will be the first point of contact for clients across the US, Canada and Europe. 

This role requires you to work Monday to Friday. The nature of the role and the timezones you have to navigate as part of this role does allow a degree of flexibility in daily work hours. We’re cool with that as long as you’re an engaged leader who takes ownership of managing your workload, are engaged and available to your team, and gets results for our clients. 

Due to the nature of the work, there are busy seasons and quiet seasons. When we are in launch season (usually Spring and Fall in the US) your workload will increase and you will be expected to maintain the same level of service as you do during quieter seasons. 

You will also have daily student support tasks that could range from answering questions in a Facebook community to hosting live Q and A calls with students. You will need to be able to coach students to learn well thought through strategies, not just “spaghetti-on-the-wall” tactics. 

Your salary is negotiable and includes paid holidays 20 days per year. Since you will be employed by an Australian company you will be responsible for your own tax contributions, 401K and healthcare contributions. 

If you care about making a difference, come alive when you work as part of a dynamic, global team and are ready to fall in love with our amazing clients, students and other team members, then read on...
