Pathfinders, a full-service integrated marketing agency, is seeking an Account Supervisor who can bring clarity, momentum, and strategic leadership to client relationships and the teams that support them. In this role, you won’t just manage projects or respond to client needs; you’ll help guide account direction, translate client goals into actionable plans, and keep work moving with confidence, accountability, and care.

You’ll serve as a lead partner across a portfolio of accounts, building trust with clients while aligning internal teams around priorities, timelines, budgets, and outcomes. You’ll work closely with creative, digital, production, and leadership to ensure the work is not only high-quality, but also delivered in a way that is thoughtful, proactive, and financially sound.

This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys balancing client strategy, team leadership, and delivery oversight. You’ll help shape strong client roadmaps, support account health and retention, mentor junior team members, and identify opportunities for continued partnership and growth. In your application, tell us about a time you helped turn a complex client situation into a clearer plan and stronger outcome. We’re always looking for people who bring leadership to the work.

At Pathfinders, how we work matters as much as what we deliver. All team members are expected to consistently demonstrate our core values:

• We > Me: Put others first; check your ego and don’t be a jerk. Be a team player; work with others, not around them. Share knowledge; help those around you.
• Own the Outcome: Figure it out; have a POV. Make an impact; think about outcomes, not to-dos. Be solution-oriented; take responsibility and offer a path forward.
• Keep Growing: Stay curious; seek out opportunities to learn and grow. Embrace change; adapt quickly when things shift. Bounce back better; turn setbacks into opportunities.
• Set the Tone: Lead by example; show up how you want others to show up. Start with “yes;” bring a can-do mindset. Take the initiative; don’t wait to be told.
