At Haberman, we believe great marketing and communications can make the world better.
For more than 30 years, we’ve partnered with pioneers—organizations tackling some of society’s biggest challenges in health, sustainability, food, agriculture, education, financial wellness, and social impact. Our mission is simple:
To tell the stories of pioneers making a difference in the world.
Today, we’re entering our next chapter. We’re helping clients navigate one of the biggest transformations our industry has ever experienced—the intersection of human creativity, AI, data, behavior change, and integrated marketing. We’re looking for a strategic leader who is excited to help build what’s next. If you’re someone who loves solving complex business problems, developing meaningful client partnerships, inspiring teams and helping brands grow through smart strategy and measurable results, we’d love to meet you.
As a Strategic Account Director, you’ll serve as a trusted advisor to senior client leaders while guiding integrated marketing programs that create measurable business outcomes. You’ll lead client relationships, energize and guide a talented, always-learning team, oversee integrated campaigns, identify new growth opportunities, and help shape the future of Haberman’s client service model.
This role combines strategic consulting, integrated marketing leadership, business development, paid media expertise, and team leadership. We aren’t looking for someone to simply manage projects—we’re looking for someone who helps clients make better business decisions.
- 10+ years of account management or integrated marketing experience, with at least a third of that in Consumer Products.
- 3–5 years leading client teams and mentoring others.
- Significant experience leading paid media programs with annual budgets of $2M–$15M+.
- Agency experience working directly with senior client stakeholders from Brand Manager through Vice President and C-suite.
- Experience positioning a brand through to identifying the key messaging and story to unlock growth, including the research to enable those decisions.
- Experience leading integrated campaigns across multiple marketing disciplines.
- Experience connecting marketing investments to business growth and sales performance strongly preferred.
- Experience in healthcare, public health, sustainability, nonprofit, or behavior change marketing is a plus.
- Exceptional strategic thinking and business acumen—you get the connection between marketing strategy and business strategy, and are a quick study on the role marketing plays in the overall business performance for any particular business.
- Outstanding presentation and communication skills—you listen and read the room, not just “present.”
- Strong financial literacy and experience managing client budgets.
- Ability to prioritize multiple clients, workstreams, and deadlines.
- Natural relationship builder who earns trust quickly.
- Curious, collaborative, and comfortable navigating ambiguity.
We’re building the next generation of agency services by thoughtfully integrating AI into strategy, research, creative development, media optimization, and client service. You don’t need to be an AI expert—but you should be excited to learn, experiment, and help clients navigate what’s next. Experience using AI tools to improve marketing effectiveness, strategy, operations, or client service is strongly preferred.
During your first year, you’ll:
- Become a trusted advisor to senior client leaders.
- Lead integrated marketing initiatives that produce measurable business results.
- Grow existing client partnerships through strategic thinking and exceptional service.
- Introduce new ideas that improve our agency and strengthen our client work.
- Help mentor teammates while contributing to Haberman’s evolution as a modern marketing agency.
You’re relentlessly curious.
You ask better questions than anyone else in the room because you’re always learning.
You take ownership.
You don’t wait for problems to become someone else’s responsibility.
You lead with humility.
You know the best ideas can come from anywhere, and you enjoy helping others succeed.
You have courage.
You’re comfortable recommending bold ideas—even when they’re unconventional.
You’re collaborative.
You build trust quickly, assume positive intent, and believe great work is always a team sport.
You’re energized by change.
Marketing is evolving rapidly, and you see that as an opportunity—not a threat.
Most importantly, our mission matters to you. You want your work to help organizations making a meaningful difference in the world.
