Hey there. I am interested in switching to Account Management from the implementation/onboarding role I currently have. Looking for suggestions for good companies who would hire someone for that position based on general experience and excellent communication and leadership skills as opposed to actual experience in that role. Any suggestions?

Why not try first transferring internally? What’s your relationship with the account management team at your current shop?

In general, there are transferable skills between onboarding roles and AM roles.

I definitely have thought about that, and my director is the director of the AM team as well. Only problem is that the position in very underpaid at my company, so a move out to move up is also in consideration. But if it is wiser to stay until after a switch occurs and I get some experience, then that may need to happen.

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
