Account Manager

We’re on the hunt…RedRhino is growing and we are looking for a wildly talented and organized Rhino to join the crash. You don’t know what deadlines whizzing by sounds like, because you don’t miss them. You are dedicated to client and customer service – anticipating what projects need so they’re on time and on budget (or under budget).

You’re practical and creative, always looking for new solutions to engage our clients and their customers. You are extremely detail-oriented, a great communicator, a creative problem-solver and thrive on deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
