Overview

DEG, a Merkle Comany is looking for an Account Coordinator to support the Account Service team. The Account Coordinator provides administrative and coordination support to the account group for activities related to approved projects and programs. This is a hands-on role writing creative briefs, project summaries, conducting research, working with clients, and creating timelines.

Our Account Coordinators are client facing, and we give them the ability to take charge of smaller accounts they are personally responsible for, but at the same time, will collaborate with directors and managers on major accounts. This is a great opportunity to learn the difference in managing very large accounts verses smaller accounts, and gives both a front-end and back-end perspective of how to manage many different types of accounts. Account Coordinators are given the latitude to think of new ways to make our clients more money and improve on their marketing. Account Coordinators work with several departments here at DEG, giving them insight into many of our disciplines.

Our highly entrepreneurial, collaborative, and dynamic environment is the perfect place for smart, motivated people to make an impact. With competitive benefits and a dedication to work-life balance, we are also a great place to come work.
