Captains of Industry

Captains of Industry is looking for an Account Supervisor to help transform our clients’ businesses and work with us to grow our agency.

Captains of Industry is a different kind of agency, and we’re looking for a different kind of account supervisor. Captains doesn’t have account people in the traditional sense. We expect everyone to bring their own creative skills to each project they manage. Your job will be to work with our project managers to help structure their thinking and mentor them in the nuts and bolts of servicing clients, while overseeing and being responsible for the smooth operation, growth, and profitability of each of our accounts. In addition, you will work directly with our principals to guide business development and help us position the Captains Brand in the eyes of our potential clients.

Captains of Industry is in growth mode, and so our people are always looking at the next big idea. We make decisions quickly and everyone is given the chance to make their ideas happen. If you’d like to be held responsible for growing accounts, achieving profitability, and being rewarded for it, this is the job for you.

If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, and the drive required to help the agency grow to the next level – and you want to make that happen in a brick & beam office in the heart of Faneuil Hall with a roster of really cool accounts and people you LOVE working with – then what are you waiting for?
