About GhostRanch:

We’re a specialized presentation design studio. While we do help many startup founders with their investor and sales decks, our bread and butter is working directly with B2B Product Marketing teams in the tech space. Our PMM clients, among many other things, are charged with the task of creating high-value “selling assets” and tools to help their field drive revenue across an entire portfolio of products. In many cases, our PMM clients do not have access to their own dedicated design team for creating and maintaining such assets. Instead of waiting in a longer in-house queue, or doing it themselves, they turn to GhostRanch to be their partner in sales enablement asset creation, to support sales with custom slides and decks, on time, and on brand.

 

The Role We’re Looking to Fill:

We are looking for an experienced Account Manager to join our team as a relationship manager to help our Clients keep up with the many demands of their jobs. For some clients, you may be a listener, others, a note-taking task manager, for others, a strategy sounding board. For some clients, you might help them see “what they don’t see” by asking pertinent questions regarding their GTM launch strategy or high stakes presentation storyline. It can really vary, so we hope you’re adaptable and up for new challenges. We’re looking for something of a hybrid Account Manager / Project Manager who is especially versed and passionate about storytelling.

Our Account Manager will be able to talk-the-talk and strategize with world-class marketers while at the same time hang with the best storytellers around. For some less developed marketing teams in the startup or scaleup space, you may be filling in as their fractional go-to-market strategist. For our retainer accounts, you will be comfortable holding regular planning calls to keep a pulse on account priorities, keenly aware of their budget, roadmaps and big initiatives. You will know when to re-engagere clients, ensuring we can stay ahead of their communication needs based on calendars. From a business development perspective, you will be able to run discovery calls with new prospects, digging in to understand their true problems, to see if GhostRanch might be a good partner (and develop proposals to suggest specifically how we can solve their problem).

Additionally, you’ll work collaboratively with the team at GhostRanch to help others succeed by keeping projects and processes on track to meet deadlines and achieve milestones. This role is instrumental in working closely with the Account Manager and Director of Operations to ensure well-managed delivery of project objectives and budgets, while also providing visibility into project status, risks and issues. 

At the end of the day, if you can help our clients better align Marketing and Sales, you will help create immense value for our Clients, and for GhostRanch. Perhaps you have worked on the agency side, or maybe you have been embedded in the tech space already. In the Account Manager role at GhostRanch, you will be exposed to a variety of clients and industries, helping an array of clients elevate their presentations and visual stories, in a fun, highly creative, remote setting. 

 

Day to Day, Week to Week:

• Lots and lots of meetings! As an account manager, you will be able to schedule and drive meetings with clients and prospects, developing agendas, keeping meetings on track and following up promptly on action items.
• Client engagement. Our main goal is to have you build & deepen relationships with current and new GhostRanch clients, holding regular planning calls. For clients who are less regular visitors to the Ranch, you can develop reengagement programs to ensure we can continue to help with their presentation needs. You will spend a lot of time updating a client/prospect CRM and pay special attention to each client’s marketing calendar to know when to reach out.

• Project Management. Ensure projects stay on agreed timelines and on budget. Upload new projects and manage existing ones through the PM tool, Trello. 

• Business Development – discovery calls, proposals. Sales administration, work closely with Studio Manager on forecasting. Negotiation and budgeting skills. 
• Strategy –  Listen keenly to client marketing strategies, add insight and value to them to help clients with their marketing plans and executions. 
• Thought Leadership – Evangelize the best practices in Product Marketing and Sales Enablement Asset creation, workflows, especially as they relate to our work here at GhostRanch. Share your wisdom with our existing clients as well as outbound, to educate and excite new leads to the GhostRanch pool. Help us further position ourselves as that ultra-niche option that most marketers didn’t even know existed (who can deliver on it in a way they’ve never seen before).
