Account Manager Job Description

The description of an account manager is someone who serves as a mediator between the business and the customers that the business serves. An account manager must know each client well and identify their needs. Once the client’s needs are identified then they must figure out how the business can best meet those needs. If the business is large then the manager will have several clients. If the business is small they probably will not have as many clients. If the account manager is employed in the area of advertising and public relations they may have a similar but slightly different job description. In this area the person will still be identifying and meeting the needs of the client. Their duties may include writing press releases, crisis management, and watching the market for public trends. They will have to develop an image for the client, and handle special events. This type of account manager must be skilled at communication techniques and have creative abilities to meet the needs of the client.
