Oh, hello there, wearer of many hats.
Funday is a full-service agency. We're a talented and entrepreneurial group of people who believe it pays to have fun. Great work takes a balance of creativity and performance. Imagination and insight. Fun and brains. We believe in making great work.


Engagement Manager
We are looking for an experienced account manager who is also skilled in project management. Or, perhaps you're an experienced project manager who is skilled in account management.


You get it:

this role is a hybrid, and we need someone who has a diverse skill set that bridges the project and account worlds.

One minute you'll discuss the details of a project's deliverables with the creative team and the next, you'll be talking budgets with your client.

These roles aren't always combined, but when they are, it's pretty fun.

We are growing quickly and need another set of hands to help with the ever-growing workload. This means you could be working on multiple projects at once or focusing your time on one big one.

We need you to be flexible enough that you can create a workback schedule one minute and have a tough conversation with the client the next.

No two days will be the same.


You will report to the VP of Client Services and will be expected to work with team members at all levels.

Our clients and our team members are scattered around the globe. We're a smaller group, so everyone gets their hands dirty.

We believe in respect, inclusivity, kindness, equity, and equality. We want to make a positive impact. We believe that collaboration is the fun part of being at work. We strive to create a culture in which "we" is more important than "me".
