Account Manager

The Kyiv Independent — Ukraine’s biggest English language publication, is looking to fill an Account Manager/Sales Manager position.

The Kyiv Independent is Ukraine’s main English-language news outlet. It was founded in November 2021 by a team of reporters and editors who were fired from the Kyiv Post for defending editorial independence, in partnership with a media consultancy company Jnomics. Today it’s a team of around 80 people based mostly in Kyiv. Publishing in English, we serve as Ukraine’s voice in the world and the world’s window into Ukraine.

Their mission:
Serve as the bridge between Ukraine and the world, delivering reliable news, context, and on-the-ground reporting.

Type of cooperation: hybrid (Kyiv) or remote.

Your journey: message from the Recruiter > Interview > Test task > Final Interview > Job Offer.

We’ll have a match if you have:

• 3+ years of professional experience as an Account Manager.

• Fluency in English (C1+), both written and verbal.

• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills.

• Experience with Google Analytics (as there is a lot of work with programmatic advertising).

• Professional experience with HubSpot, Notion, and Google Workspace.

• A strong sense of ownership and accountability within your area of responsibility.

Responsibilities:

• Resolve customer inquiries and issues with efficiency and professionalism.

• Anticipate and prevent potential customer challenges before they arise.
