Upworthy is seeking a work at home account strategist in the U.S. This position can be based anywhere with Internet. Compensation is competitive.
From the company:
“We want to connect our large audience of young thought leaders to companies that have an important message to share in a way that serves our audience, delivers for our clients, and helps scale Upworthy’s revenue. We’re looking for a high-energy, mission-friendly, goal-oriented, charismatic account manager to take that on.”
Requirements (from work-at-home job listing):
- 3-5 years account management experience at a publisher. You’ve juggled internal and external constituencies before and know how to drive a messy process to a great outcome. You have a track record of achieving very high client renewal rates and experience being measured on upsell goals.
- Calm, ingenious problem solver. In the midst of a Class A crap-storm, you’re the person who remains calm, collected, and knows exactly what to do next. You’re great at MacGyver-type solutions — improvising based on what’s readily available to save the day.
- Strong upseller with great judgment. You know how to get people from a small initial commitment to a bigger long-standing relationship.
- Great with people. You understand what motivates them and can put yourself in their shoes. And people like you, too.
- Great oral and written communication skills; highly responsive, especially in terms of clarity and tone. You should be very clear and come across exactly the way you intend to. And you’re very responsive — you’re happy being in touch with 30 different people at the same time.
- Able to thrive in a dynamic, mission-driven, distributed-office environment. This includes, but is not limited to: Entrepreneurial instincts and a hands-on attitude. Eye for the big picture but enjoyment of day-to-day operations. Creative approach to problem solving. Enjoy working with people in a distributed, virtual work environment where we’re not all in the same place (read: lots of email, video conferences, and phone meetings).
