Job description
Who We Are:
Spero Studio is a communications agency built for high-pressure work. We partner with public-facing organizations to shape narrative, defend credibility, and deliver results. We value sharp execution, good judgment, and people who can move quickly without losing rigor.
Role Overview:
An Account Manager at Spero is a "doer's doer", someone who architecturally maps a campaign but also rolls up their sleeves and executes. This person will own client relationships and lead integrated public sector work, from program strategy to team execution, troubleshooting, and delivery. The Account Manager will sit at the intersection of strategy, operations, and politics, ensuring our work is effective, seamless, creative, and aligned with mission and metrics.
Key Responsibilities
Client Leadership & Strategic Counsel
- Serve as the primary point of contact and representative of Spero Studio to clients in public sector, election, advocacy, and civic engagement spaces.
- Understand client goals, political dynamics, stakeholder landscapes, and more
- Actively shape campaign strategy, message architecture, and metrics.
- Anticipate risks, flag trade-offs, propose pathways, and course-correct in real time.
- Translate high-level strategy into tactical plans and roadmaps.
Execution & Delivery
- Lead day-to-day execution across a range of accounts — from public sector communications campaigns to high-stakes voter engagement programs.
- Balance big-picture campaign roadmaps with hands-on delivery: content calendars, creative reviews, messaging rollouts, press or digital pushes, and beyond.
- Step in directly when "problem child" tasks arise (whether it's an urgent client request, or a deliverable off-track) and see it through to completion.
Commercial Growth & Business Development
- Drive new work within existing accounts, cross-sell new campaigns and services.
- Support pitches, proposals, and RFP responses, lead our team to win new public sector or voter engagement business.
- Help forecast, track, and hit revenue / margin targets for your book of business.
Monitoring, Evaluation & Reporting
- Design and own campaign evaluation, KPIs, dashboards, and client reporting.
- Use data to inform optimizations and pivot strategies mid-course.
- Provide narratives and analytics in consistent client-facing reports: communicate wins, challenges, and course corrections transparently.
Qualifications & Skills
- 5–8+ years of experience in communications, marketing, advertising or voter engagement firms.
- Proven track record owning and scaling complex, multi-channel campaigns.
- You're comfortable being in both the 30,000-foot view and the trenches. You've fixed last-minute glitches, realigned budgets mid-stream, and persuaded skeptics.
- Strong political sensibility — you read the room, know power maps, stakeholder incentives, regulatory constraints, and can adjust rapidly.
- Excellent client-facing skills: clear communicator, trusted advisor, strong presence under pressure.
- Commercial acumen: budget management, P&L awareness, revenue-driven thinking.
- Willingness to travel (especially in key states during campaign cycles).
Why Join Spero Studio?
You'll be in a high-impact environment where your contributions are visible. You won't be pigeonholed into only managing; you'll do. You'll stretch across strategy, execution, operations, politics, and technology. You'll grow leadership capacity and potentially scale into senior roles. If you're driven by mission, thrive under pressure, and want to build outcome-driven work in the civic space, this is the role for you.
