About Us

Barrel partners with CPG brands to elevate their online presence and drive growth through e-commerce, website optimization, email, SEO, and content strategy. As a globally distributed team, we are united by a mission to help clients succeed through thoughtful, customer-centric solutions. Our goal is to create experiences that resonate, add value, and build lasting connections with their communities.

The Role

At Barrel, the Account Manager (AM) is the connector between our clients and our team. You will manage the day-to-day relationship with assigned accounts, making sure clients feel supported and projects stay on track. This includes staying on top of emails and Basecamp messages, scheduling meetings, preparing agendas, writing recaps, and documenting next steps.

AMs at Barrel are also strategic partners. You will work with clients to understand their goals and help shape how our team supports their growth. While you will receive training on Barrel’s processes and approach, you are expected to bring curiosity, problem-solving, and a perspective that builds client trust. Over time, you will grow into leading more strategic conversations about website optimization, e-commerce best practices, and long-term planning.

We are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys juggling multiple accounts, and approaches challenges with persistence and a solutions-first mindset.

• Collaboration: Able to balance client needs with input from designers, developers, and strategists
• Adaptability: Comfortable juggling multiple accounts in a fast-paced environment without losing focus or composure
