Key Account Performance Manager - National

*This is a remote position that requires you to work closely and collaboratively with a team.*

The Key Account Performance Manager - National Opportunity:

The Key Account Performance Manager for Townsquare Ignite's National Team is a client-facing role focused on retention, growth, and strategic support for key national accounts across core verticals, including Home Services, Legal, and Quick Service Restaurants (QSR).

You will serve as the primary post-sale strategic partner for a portfolio of advertisers, developing a deep understanding of each client's business, industry, goals, and competitive landscape. You'll help drive outcomes by ensuring campaigns are strategically planned, managed, and optimized by our internal teams while providing clients with proactive insights and recommendations that support their broader business objectives.

Experience working with advertisers across Home Services, Legal, QSR, or other performance-driven verticals is valuable in understanding the unique customer journey, competitive dynamics, seasonality, and business challenges that influence campaign strategy and performance.

A strong understanding of the capabilities and role of each digital medium within a full-funnel strategy is critical to success.

Success in this role is measured by client satisfaction, campaign performance, retention, new account growth, and revenue expansion.
