I’m a VP and still doing it. Comes down to resourcing and budgets. If you have support under you, they do it. If not, you’re support until you do.
End of the day, I’m doing everything I did as an AAE + client management, strategy and business growth responsibilities. You do whatever the business needs you to do. If there’s nobody else to upload to veeva, that’s you.
Go get yourself on a team with a big budget for resourcing and get an AE and teach them.
I disagree with you VP1. I had a role where I was Marketing Director yet I had to print and fill out envelopes for an event. This was not a one time thing. I knew they had really needed a secretary vs a marketing director and I left in a heartbeat. Yes I’m all for do whatever needs to get done but that just reflects poor management. People get burned out if they’re the jack of all trades, this doesn’t allow for professional growth and honestly doing these tasks constantly is demoralizing.
Yeah, I thought the same (based on my JD) yet my ex-agency had the one account person on each account do these and it was very frustrating and time consuming. They also had Accounts do agency resourcing, project management, planning, briefing and strategy support, creative review on top of our jobs and had no junior account team members to support us. Despite asking for help several times (I was across 5 accounts), I ended up quitting when I got tired of their excuses, was beyond burnt out and realized they just expected me (and the others) to juggle all these other roles (for the price of 1 - ha!) and weren’t moving towards getting us any help.
I’d recommend having a serious conversation with your boss as to where you’re at versus your role and expectations.
