Our culture impacts every area of the agency and is rooted within every employee from the top down. Across each discipline, every person at the agency is encouraged to be their best selves, even the agency dog.

It is a place that fosters community, where differences are admired, and out-of-the-box ideas are encouraged. Within these four walls is an environment that demands self and team growth via exposure to new things. This mindset is what drives our agency to be an empowering place to work that always strives to maintain a fun, engaging and collaborative environment.

Whether it is through our various Schaefer outings or our internal kitchen happy hours, at Schaefer individuality is celebrated at every opportunity. The result of this type of environment is a place that every employee is proud to call home. Because at Schaefer Ad Co. we are more than just merely coworkers, we are a team– a group of people who genuinely trust, care about, and look out for each other.

HEALTHCARE ADVERTISING ACCOUNT MANAGER (3-MONTH CONTRACT)

We’re looking for a confident, competent Account Manager to step in and support our Healthcare group for a minimum three-month, full-time contract assignment beginning in December 2026. You thrive being around people and working in a team, but when the situation calls for it, your take-charge and upbeat attitude gets the job done and gets the job done right. You love a fast-paced work environment and enjoy the challenge of solving the tasks at hand.

This role covers for a member of our account team while they are on leave, so we need someone who can hit the ground running from day one. Your primary responsibility will be to partner with the Healthcare team to effectively manage client relationships and account initiatives across our pharmaceutical, medical device and OTC brands. You may be asked to extend those responsibilities across other Schaefer business units as needed.

The Vision

In this role, you’ll step right into the day-to-day of a busy healthcare book of business. You already know the essential ins and outs of account service, from what it takes to move a project from inception to completion, to how to effectively sell your ideas, and you’re ready to put that experience to work immediately. And you have specific experience managing accounts within a healthcare focused portfolio. 

You’ll pick up our process quickly and manage complex, dynamic projects without a lot of direct oversight, keeping work on time and on budget. In a category where every claim, deadline and detail matters, you bring the rigor and accuracy that regulated work demands.

• Naturally curious, with a desire to explore new ideas, ask thoughtful questions, and share discoveries with others.
• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills
• Superior communication skills, both written and verbal
• Team player with a positive attitude
• Flexible and adaptable to change
