About Blaze
We’re building the world’s first agentic marketing platform around a simple belief: the world doesn’t need more AI slop. It needs more human taste, judgment, and creativity. Blaze is built to amplify those qualities, using AI to help small teams create extraordinary marketing that drives real growth at a fraction of the cost of working with an agency.
With Blaze, customers can spin up new channels quickly, create high-quality marketing content, and publish across ads, video, social, blog, and email from one place, with results that compound over time.
Blaze has served tens of thousands of small business owners and growing teams. Now, we’re scaling the platform and our team as we work toward serving millions of customers.
That’s where you come in. We’re hiring an Account Manager to help set and uphold the quality bar for how Blaze serves its customers. You’ll ensure our outputs reflect strong taste, thoughtful use of AI, and a deep understanding of what drives real growth for our customers.
About the Role
Blaze Account Managers serve as strategic operators and client growth partners.
This role is not a traditional “check-in and report back” role. This person owns outcomes.
You will manage a portfolio of client accounts, architect campaign strategy, drive execution through Blaze, and proactively guide clients toward growth. You’ll combine marketing insight, operational rigor, and client leadership to ensure measurable results. The ideal candidate is structured, proactive, comfortable leading conversations, and deeply focused on KPIs — not just deliverables.
Specifically, you'll:
Client Strategy & Ownership
Own a portfolio of client accounts and their performance KPIs
Translate business objectives into structured campaigns
Build and maintain forward-looking campaign calendars
Guide clients toward engagement-first growth strategies
Align execution with agreed scope and prevent unnecessary scope expansion
Coordinate with internal teams to ensure high-quality output
Prevent scope creep and keep execution aligned with contract goals
Performance & Optimization
Analyze engagement metrics across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and other channels
Lead monthly performance reviews with insights and next-step recommendations
Iterate campaigns based on what’s resonating
Identify expansion opportunities based on performance data
Review and refine AI-generated videos and images
Prevent brand inconsistencies and “AI slop”
Client Leadership
Serve as the primary strategic partner and point of contact
Run structured monthly calls with clear agendas and outcomes
Proactively surface risks and opportunities
Balance collaboration with confident direction
