Interrupt is the leading strategic branding and marketing agency in the building material and home improvement industries. We partner with Fortune 1000 clients to help uniquely position their brands to enable their business to outperform the industry. We are more than a mere agency; we are a brand strategist and business partner.

We are a team of extraordinary talent, and we are looking for the next team member to come, stretch us and our clients, and make us even stronger.

Position Description

The Senior Account Executive (SAE) is a critical contributor to the business success of our clients, and therefore to Interrupt.

The SAE is expected to act like a General Manager of their accounts - managing the growth and profitability of the book of business through strong collaboration with the client’s leadership and all Interrupt team members. This SAE role will facilitate relationships between Interrupt and these clients, delivering value, growth and profitability for their clients and therefore Interrupt.

  • Enable Interrupt business goals are achieved
  • Exercise independent judgment and appropriate discretion.
  • Support the company’s overall mission and follow all standards, policies, procedures and confidentiality guidelines
  • Create and maintain a comprehensive client history - outlining your accountable process and clients - to enable others to easily manage your process if you are unable
