Account Executive

Company Description

Rise Local is an all-in-one marketing solution for local businesses. We provide everything from website domains, hosting, content creation, social media and SEO. We’re not just another local marketing agency; we are different by design. Our team is here to help entrepreneurs, like us, build a business that becomes a legacy in supporting local communities.

Rise Local was founded on one simple truth: helping small business owners share their stories and expertise is the most effective form of marketing.

Job Description

We are looking for a professional Account Executive to help our clients reach their online marketing goals.

As an Account Executive, you are passionate about helping small businesses achieve their goals and help meet deadlines. You are involved with the customer and what they need. You are proactive with keeping them updated on their services and helping them feel valued. That’s because you have the business sense, organization skills, and creative talents needed to get their content published and campaigns launched.

Responsibilities:

• Initiate and build relationships with our clients by becoming their trusted channel advisor.

• Ensure all service orders are properly entered and submitted on time.

• Manage new and existing accounts.

• Undertake individual tasks if needed to achieve the customer’s goals.

Additional Information

How to Stand Out:

• A college degree is always an asset, but never required at Rise Local. What we really want to see is your ability to build rapport and work with client and teams to help them achieve their marketing goals.

• Demonstrate that you are a goal-oriented Account Executive ready to help our clients. Tell us about your outstanding teamwork and customer service skills.

Rise Local is a fast growing company and we’re looking for motivated people to grow with us. We can’t wait to have you on our team!
