Welcome to Sweeney. We are a one-of-a-kind full-service marketing agency that is infinitely passionate about our work, our clients, our team, our partners and our industry.

We have been walking the walk for 40 years – conducting insightful research, developing strategic marketing plans, implementing exceptionally innovative and creative campaigns and projects, achieving extraordinary results and retaining B2B, B2C and B2G clients who love what we do for their brands.

We never settle, and we’re always pushing forward — challenging ourselves, our clients and the status quo to deliver work that wins. Custom, strategic work is the name of our game.

This is a senior leadership role for someone who thrives on influence, ownership and results. You will play a visible role in shaping client strategy, leading teams and contributing to agency growth. We value collaboration, high standards and mutual respect — and we also value confidence, decisiveness and forward momentum.

If you want to work and grow, and you’re looking for a role where your voice matters, your judgment is trusted and your leadership makes a measurable impact, then you’ve come to the right place.

What You Bring

As a Senior Account Supervisor, you bring agency or corporate experience and a passion for driving results through strategy, leadership and collaboration.

You’re a confident, experienced communicator who leads senior-level client relationships, influences decision-making and drives high-impact campaigns that deliver measurable outcomes.

You bring a balance of strategic insight and hands-on execution — from research and strategic planning to storytelling, writing and results analysis. You’re comfortable setting direction, making informed calls and moving work forward with clarity and urgency.

You have a proven ability to lead and energize teams, manage multiple priorities and hold work — and people — accountable to results. You’re a strong communicator and collaborator who understands both the art and science of marketing and PR and how to align client goals with data, strategy and creative that impacts target audiences and drives results.

You take initiative to deeply understand each client’s business, anticipate challenges and proactively identify opportunities for growth. With a client-partner mindset, entrepreneurial spirit and high professional standards, you mentor junior staff, elevate performance and strengthen both accounts and teams.
