About the opportunity:

Optimism BH is seeking a proactive, detail-oriented, and resourceful Account Manager with a strong passion for helping drive fame for brands on social. In this role, you’ll play a pivotal part in driving ongoing organic social creative and production forward—partnering closely with clients and internal teams to concept, create, and deliver best-in-class social content that builds community, drives engagement, and amplifies the brand’s voice across channels.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and knows how to balance big-picture thinking with flawless execution. You’re a natural relationship builder, a clear communicator, and an encouraging leader who loves seeing creative ideas come to life.

If you’re energized by connecting brands with culture, inspired by creativity, and excited to grow alongside some incredible brands, we’d love to connect.
