Account Manager - Houston

Location: Houston, Texas

At Fifth Ring, we help B2B brands Own Their Space. We work with ambitious clients in energy, maritime, technology and manufacturing — industries at the heart of global change — connecting them with the right audiences, solving complex challenges and driving meaningful growth. We are looking for an experienced Account Manager to join our Client Services team in Houston, leading client relationships, delivering integrated marketing programmes, and finding the opportunities that make those partnerships stronger.

This is a role for a trusted advisor. Someone who can balance strategic thinking with hands-on project leadership, keep several accounts moving at once, and deliver work that’s effective, efficient and measurable. If you take pride in being the person clients rely on and colleagues want to work with, this is your kind of role.

What it’s like to work here.

Fifth Ring is a place where smart thinking meets bold creativity: global, collaborative and values-driven. Our core values guide how we work every day: Master our subject. Act with integrity. Dare to be different. Aspire to greatness. Inspire each other.

As an Account Manager in Houston, you’ll be a key part of our Americas team and the wider global business, working with talented colleagues across client services, delivery, finance and business development to help ambitious clients succeed in genuinely complex industries.

The role.

As Account Manager, you will build and maintain strong relationships with client stakeholders, getting to know their business objectives, challenges and opportunities, and acting as the strategic advisor who gives marketing and communications guidance that creates real value. You’ll manage multiple accounts at once without letting service standards slip, making sure every deliverable aligns with the client’s goals.

You’ll lead projects and campaigns from brief to delivery, working closely with our delivery teams to bring integrated programmes in on time, on budget and to the highest standard. You’ll write the clear, comprehensive briefs that align everyone around the objective, monitor performance, and keep looking for ways to make the work better. Alongside this, you’ll own the commercials, taking responsibility for account budgets and financial performance, working with finance on forecasts, billing plans, POs and invoicing, protecting profitability, and keeping over-servicing in check through sharp planning.

Growth runs through all of it. You’ll spot opportunities to expand existing relationships, build account development plans that drive long-term value, support new-business activity and commercial discussions, and bring fresh thinking from industry trends to your clients. You’ll also collaborate across the agency and our global offices, work closely with the Traffic Manager to keep resources and schedules aligned, and support and guide more junior colleagues along the way.

What you’ll bring.

You will bring experience in an account management, client services, marketing or agency role, with strong project management and organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple client projects at once. You’re an excellent communicator who manages stakeholders well, you have real commercial awareness and budget management experience, and you build credibility and trust with clients at every level. Above all, you bring a proactive, solution-focused approach and a genuine passion for client success.

Experience within a B2B marketing agency, knowledge of integrated, digital and content marketing, a background working with clients in energy, industrial, engineering or manufacturing sectors, and exposure to international clients and markets will all serve you well here.
