Account Manager, AI Solutions

Perion is a global advertising technology company delivering solutions to the biggest brands and publishers around the globe across search, social media and display, video, CTV, and programmatic DOOH.

Home to an award-winning technology solution –– with our unique data-driven AI/ML based technologies, we deliver and optimize hundreds of terabytes of data and billions of events per day. We’re working with dozens of sources to provide a superior experience across screens and platforms, including mobile, video, social and native.

We’re hiring an Account Manager with deep social-platform expertise to own and grow brand relationships within Outmax’s social advertising practice. Your focus is Meta, TikTok, and adjacent social platforms—you’ll be the go-to expert who helps brands understand how Outmax’s AI optimization layers onto their social campaigns to deliver measurable performance gains.

This is a client-facing, revenue-accountable role. You’ll manage day-to-day brand relationships, lead RFP responses, and serve as the social subject-matter expert across the sales cycle. You need to be equally comfortable presenting a QBR to a VP of Digital and walking a brand’s paid-social team through campaign setup and optimization strategies.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Client Relationship & Revenue Growth

• Own a portfolio of brand accounts, serving as the primary point of contact for all social advertising engagements powered by Outmax.
• Build trusted, long-term relationships with brand-side stakeholders—paid-social leads, performance-marketing directors, and digital VPs.
• Identify and close upsell and expansion opportunities within existing accounts, growing social spend and platform coverage over time.
• Manage client expectations, timelines, and deliverables with precision, ensuring Outmax consistently over-delivers on commitments.

RFP & New Business Support

• Lead the response to RFPs and RFIs from brand prospects, crafting compelling proposals that position Outmax’s social optimization as the differentiated solution.
• Collaborate with the Sales Engineering and BD teams to build custom pitch materials, competitive analyses, and media plans for social-first opportunities.
• Develop reusable RFP frameworks, case-study libraries, and social-specific sell sheets that accelerate response time and quality.
• Participate in prospect pitches and finalist presentations as the social-platform authority.

Social Platform Subject-Matter Expertise

• Serve as Outmax’s internal and external expert on Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and TikTok advertising: auction mechanics, targeting capabilities, creative best practices, measurement, and API integrations.
• Stay ahead of platform updates, policy changes, and beta programs; translate these into actionable insights for clients and internal teams.
• Advise brands on social-campaign architecture—audience segmentation, creative strategy, attribution setup—and how Outmax’s AI enhances each layer.
• Bridge the gap between social-platform capabilities and Outmax’s optimization technology, helping brands see the compounding value.

Campaign Performance & Reporting

• Monitor live social campaigns and proactively surface optimization recommendations to brand teams, reinforcing confidence in Outmax.
• Prepare and deliver quarterly business reviews (QBRs) that combine platform performance data, Outmax model insights, and strategic recommendations.
• Coordinate with Data Science and Engineering on measurement challenges specific to social—attribution windows, view-through modeling, incrementality testing.
• Turn strong performance into documented case studies and testimonials that fuel the next sales conversation.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Channel structured client feedback—feature requests, social-platform integration gaps, competitive threats—directly into the Product roadmap.
• Partner with Marketing to produce social-focused thought leadership: blog posts, webinar content, and event presentations.
• Represent Outmax at social-advertising industry events, Meta and TikTok partner summits, and brand conferences.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 4+ years in an Account Management, Client Success, or Sales role focused on social advertising within adtech, a social platform, or a performance-marketing agency.
• Deep working knowledge of Meta Ads Manager and TikTok Ads Manager: campaign structures, bidding strategies, audience tools, Conversions API, and reporting.
• Proven track record of managing and growing a book of brand-direct accounts ($1M+ in annual social spend).
• Strong RFP and proposal-writing skills—ability to synthesize technical product capabilities into persuasive, brand-friendly narratives.
• Excellent communicator who can present to a VP of Digital, a paid-social manager, and a procurement team with equal clarity.
• Commercially minded: comfortable owning revenue targets, forecasting, and pipeline hygiene.
• Based in New York City; willing to travel domestically for client meetings and industry events (~15–25%).

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Direct brand-side or brand-direct selling experience (as opposed to agency-only).
• Experience with emerging social platforms beyond Meta and TikTok (Snapchat, Pinterest, Reddit, YouTube Shorts).
• Familiarity with programmatic social buying, social DSPs, or API-based campaign management.
• Exposure to AI/ML-powered optimization products and the ability to articulate their value without deep technical jargon.
• Existing relationships with Fortune 500 brand paid-social or performance-marketing teams.
• Familiarity with carbon-measurement frameworks in digital advertising (Scope3, Ad Net Zero).
