Intern: Account Management Dept.

The intern will learn to be the key gatekeeper of daily account maintenance. The intern functions as the eyes and ears for his/her managers. This allows the manager to be free for higher-level account activity (i.e. writing creative briefs, analyzing creative, budgetary analysis, account planning, etc).

• Massive level of demonstrated initiative; project confidence (so others will have confidence in you)
• Positive, flexible attitude- demonstrate an ability to shift gears instantly
• Strong problem-solver: identify potential issues, offer possible solutions as needed (there’s no such thing as “I don’t know”)
• Strong team player; strong interpersonal skills; act as a “go to person” for everyone
• Prioritize tasks and utilize time management skills effectively (use your time wisely to get the prep work done- have the answers already; do tons of work while you’re alone, so you can use your face time with managers to update them, and get next steps from them)
