Enjoy the Journey With PixelSpoke!
PixelSpoke is an environment for the curious, solution-oriented, good-humored creatives inside each of us — and we’re looking for our next outstanding team member.
About the Position
The Account Manager is the strategic heart of our client relationships. In this role, you’ll own a portfolio of 15–25 credit union clients, serving as their primary point of contact, trusted advisor, and internal advocate. You’ll partner closely with our UX, development, analytics, and content teams to deliver meaningful digital work—and you’ll help clients see what’s possible and plan for what comes next.
We’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys building relationships; thinks strategically about client growth and opportunity; can juggle multiple priorities without dropping details; and takes real ownership of outcomes—both for clients and for the team.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own client relationships and satisfaction across your assigned portfolio
- Manage revenue under management (RUM) and identify opportunities for account growth
- Lead client communication, strategic alignment, and expectation management
- Draft and own project details including scope, budget, and timeline
- Develop and maintain client roadmaps and strategic recommendations
- Coordinate internal resources to deliver high-quality client work
- Triage and respond to client support requests
A Day in the Life
Each day starts with a short team huddle to get everyone aligned. After that, you might review project timelines, follow up on open client questions, and coordinate with a developer on a feature launch. Then you jump on a video call with a credit union client to walk through a strategy meeting and discuss priorities for the coming quarter.
At lunch, you grab a virtual coffee with a teammate, or step outside for some fresh air. In the afternoon, you join a Client Services team meeting to work through an issue on a current project, then spend time drafting a work order for an upcoming project. You end your day reviewing a project budget and sending a client a thoughtful update on where things stand—and what comes next.

Our Hiring Process
We have a more thorough hiring process than most small businesses. This is because we believe that the cost of a mis-hire is enormous to both an individual and a company. Our process consists of several interviews, a review of your career history, and in-depth reference checks. We want you to find the ideal position for your skill set and strengths.
Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they meet every one of the qualifications as described in the job description. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may be one who comes from a less traditional background. We would encourage you to apply, even if you don’t believe you meet every one of our qualifications described.
People of all identities, including women, people of color, people with disabilities, people of different ages, veterans, members of the LGBTQ community, and formerly incarcerated individuals are strongly encouraged to apply.
