Strategic Account Lead (Marketing)

Rodeo13  | US

---

We are looking for a proactive Strategic Account Lead who thrives on guiding B2B clients, bringing fresh ideas to the table, and ensuring our work actively drives business results.

We operate on a dedicated pod structure: our Account Leads focus entirely on client relationship management, account growth, and high-touch strategy, while supported by a dedicated team of senior writers, designers, and specialists.

If you are an "account driver" who loves dissecting B2B buyer journeys, building strong client relationships, and turning client goals into actionable marketing strategies, this role is for you. You will not be bogged down writing blogs or building graphics - your focus is on steering the ship, contributing with ideas, assessing campaign efficiency, and making our clients feel like Rodeo13 is the best investment they make all year.

Core Responsibilities

• Client Ownership & Strategic Direction: Act as the primary strategic lead for a roster of B2B market research clients. Host periodical client syncs, proactively bring new ideas to every call, and push clients beyond "business as usual."

• Account Retention & Growth: Monitor client health, satisfaction, and ROI. Identify friction points before they become problems and uncover expansion opportunities (retainer upsells, strategic add-ons).

• Pod & Execution Oversight: Brief and direct our dedicated in-house/retainer specialists (writers, designers, SEO strategists, etc). Maintain rigorous quality control, ensuring every deliverable aligns with brand guidelines, strategy, and high agency standards before it reaches the client.

• Campaign & Strategy Planning: Lead quarterly strategy reviews and campaign briefs. Translate client business objectives into content roadmaps, webinar concepts, and other lead and demand gen campaigns.

• Performance Tracking: Analyze performance data regularly and pivot if needed.

What We Are Looking For

• 3+ years in a B2B marketing environment with direct experience in market research either agency or brand-side. We need you to know the MRX industry well.

• Strategic B2B Instincts: You understand B2B buyer journeys, content strategy, and inbound marketing. You know how to answer "What should we do next?" without consulting with leadership.

• Exceptional Quality Control: An uncompromising eye for detail. You notice when a slide deck is on the wrong template or when a brief misses the strategic angle.

• High EQ & Client Presence: You’re personable, build trust fast, command respect in client meetings, and can hold executives accountable with polish and authority.

• Proactive "Account Driver" Energy: You don’t wait for clients to give you instructions. You take ownership, anticipate needs, and keep momentum high.

What This Role IS NOT

• ❌ An order taker: If you prefer waiting for tasks to be assigned and just checking boxes, this isn't the fit.

• ❌ A production role: You will brief writers, write emails / socials, review assets, but you are not expected to write copy at length or design decks yourself.

Why Join Rodeo13?

• Lead strategies for fast-growing B2B agencies in the market research space

• Work alongside specialized creatives so you can focus on strategy and leadership

• We focus on outputs, ownership, and results, not micromanaging hours

• 100% remote and flexible working hours to accommodate your schedule

• Medical insurance and employer 401(k) matching

• Unlimited PTO after your probation period in accordance with company policy
