WHO IS MARCUS THOMAS

We do the work ourselves, with real judgment and real people. We roll up our sleeves, ask a better question, figure it out, and stay in it for the long term. We have offices in Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Santiago, Chile, and work across creative, media, public relations, social, digital strategy and technology.

Marcus Thomas offers a hybrid work environment for employees located near our Buenos Aires or Santiago the Chile offices.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Digital Management Account Supervisor, you'll serve as the primary account management lead for a global healthcare technology client, independently owning a significant digital relationship with opportunities to grow. You'll guide the client strategically, oversee multiple digital workstreams across client and agency teams, and manage the account's budgets, scope, forecasts and profitability. The portfolio spans websites and CMS platforms, CRM, email marketing and marketing automation, digital analytics and related programs. You'll think strategically but stay close to the details, learning the client's business, platforms, processes and challenges well enough to lead productive conversations and make informed recommendations. Business analysis skills are central to how you'll work: asking the right questions, uncovering the real need behind a request and turning it into clear direction for delivery teams. This is a senior individual contributor role with significant ownership and influence across a complex global account.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Account Management and Client Partnership

·   Maintain account health, satisfaction and retention by communicating priorities, recommendations, decisions, risks and next steps clearly and managing escalations before they affect the relationship or quality of delivery.

Discovery and Requirements

·   Lead client discovery conversations with curiosity, asking thoughtful questions to understand the business problem behind each request and the needs underneath it.

·   Gather and organize business requirements, then translate them into clear, actionable briefs and documentation, such as functional requirements, process flows or acceptance criteria, for delivery teams.

Project and Cross-Functional Delivery

·   Oversee the account's digital workstreams, including websites and CMS, CRM, email marketing and marketing automation, and digital analytics, partnering with project management to align priorities, dependencies, scope, timelines and resources.

·   Give creative, experience and technology teams the business context, requirements and success criteria they need from discovery through execution, maintenance and support.

·   Identify scope changes and delivery risks early, explain impacts on timing, cost and approach, and help confirm that completed work meets agreed requirements.

Growth and Financial Stewardship

·   Own account financial management, including budgets, scope, forecasts and profitability, to protect both client value and agency health.

·   Identify opportunities for account growth and support new business by leading early client conversations, shaping solutions and partnering with specialists on estimates and statements of work.

·   Stay current on CMS, CRM, marketing automation, analytics and related digital trends, including Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Data Cloud, and connect relevant capabilities to client needs.

·   Experience contributing to estimates and statements of work, including the documentation of scope, requirements, assumptions and deliverables.

·   Experience working within structured project approaches such as Agile, Lean or Waterfall and collaborating through discovery, execution, maintenance and support.

Education or Equivalent Experience

·   A bachelor's degree in business, communication, marketing, digital or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant professional experience. What matters most is demonstrated depth, judgment and growth, not the specific path that produced it.
