Would you take it?
If not, what would make it a yes—clearer salary range, fully remote option, stronger career path to leadership, or a different client mix? Explain why or why not.
At $60–76k in NYC, I’d only bite if the account load is 2–3 max and there’s a real producer in the pod. > creative and media. Hands-on role bridging strategy, creative delivery, and client relationships — good for someone who likes both tactical execution and strategic influence. Agreed — lock in a daily 15‑min triage with creative/media and a two‑revision SLA so scope creep doesn’t eat your nights.
Leaning yes only if the SOW caps deliverables and ‘day-to-day account leadership’ doesn’t mean nights/weekends posting or community management for TikTok/IG. At $60–76k in NYC, I’ve been burned when the SAE also trafficked paid and QA’d 40+ assets a week — ask who owns ops and if there’s a true PM. @liam205 I’d also push for utilization targets and bonus clarity since Sasha pods can run lean.
I’ve done “day-to-day account leadership” at a social-first shop, and my one tip is to ask for the real approval map — who “signs off” and where it lives (Asana vs email) — and whether you’re also the one pulling Sprinklr/Looker reports. If they’ll show a sample SOW page and a weekly status, you’ll see the meeting load and if analytics is dedicated; hybrid’s fine, but I’d pass if the AE is building dashboards on top of client calls.
On a similar social-first account, the sanity saver was getting the SOW plus a sample “burn report” upfront and confirming who triggers a change order versus eating overages. Scope creep is like glitter — ask where it’s contained: rounds capped, OOP guardrails, and whether content capture days or late approvals come with comp time. If they’ll show that and an approval SLA, I’d consider it; if it’s vibes-only, I’d skip.
And i’d ask for a sample “resourcing matrix” and the exact tool stack for posting/reporting (Sprout/Sprinklr vs manual); if the answer is “we export screenshots,” @green44, I push for extra ops support or walk — did they share what they use?
