• Understand each client's business goals, anticipate future needs, and use product and engagement data to focus them on the Skai capabilities most tied to those outcomes
• Run a structured, proactive communication cadence, standing meetings and office hours alike, each with a clear purpose and agenda shared in advance, real room for client input, and a recap with documented owners and dates tied to their goals
• Partner across internal teams, including Client Success Directors, product, technical, and support specialists, knowing when an engagement calls for their expertise and handing off with enough context that they can act immediately
• Use AI to accelerate call prep, summarization, personalization, and documentation, applying judgment and review before anything reaches a client
• Solve problems proactively and hold a high bar for client satisfaction

• Hands-on paid search marketing campaign implementation and management experience, including responsive ad formats, shopping, automated cross- channel formats (like AIMax and PMax) and ad extensions
• Extra points for hands-on experience with Retail Media Networks (including Amazon, Walmart Connect, Target Roundel, etc)
• You'll stand out from other candidates if Paid Search is your specialty and you have complementary experience in Retail Media or Paid Social
• 2+ years of experience in client services and/or technical project management, with strong organizational and time management skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment with tight deadlines
• Ability to perform detailed client audits and use client feedback to identify needs, workflow gaps, and opportunities for continuous improvement
• Comfort using AI tools to support client prep, communication, and documentation
• Extra points if you have AI builder capabilities. Be prepared to share if this is you!
• Experience collaborating across local and virtual teams
• Media Agency and/or Skai or other ad platform experience preferred
• Ability to travel occasionally
• Microsoft Excel and other basic technical experience with code such as basic JavaScript and HTML is a plus
