Account Coordinator

The company

You might think we’re just another creative agency driven by client deadlines, profitability and corporate culture. Think again – when it comes to collaborating with new clients, one of the pillars we assess is the people behind the brand. Since 2014, HRVST began with a simple mission – to treat every project like our own. What exactly do we do? Everything from ecommerce to brand building, design and content. As Shopify Plus Partners, we’re building for brands migrating to, already on, or ready to develop a new store on the platform.

We’re not a boutique agency, we’re a small shop. We’re strong because of our team – the best idea always wins. We out-perform bigger agencies by applying small shop smarts to every project. Thinking small means attention to detail, but it also means having the time and energy to focus on our clients’ needs. Our small but specialized team is designed to create efficient systems that are tailor-made for our clients.

The role

The Account Coordinator supports the Account and Production teams by owning coordination, organization, and operational execution across projects and accounts. This role enables Account Managers to focus on client strategy, communication, and growth by ensuring workflows, systems, and communication remain structured and efficient.

You will manage schedules, maintain accurate records, support project workflows, and assist in preparing materials across accounts and opportunities. You will work closely with Account Managers and internal teams to keep projects organized, aligned, and moving forward. This role provides a clear path toward an Account Manager position as experience and ownership grow.

This role reports directly to the Account Director. During periods where the Account Director is unavailable, reporting will shift to the Creative Director.

The culture

• Remote-first, by design: We believe great work is about outcomes, not desks. Work where you are most productive.
• Health, dental, and life insurance: We support your mental and physical well-being so you can do your best work and feel good doing it.
• A proper home office setup: Every team member is outfitted with a new MacBook Pro and an external monitor so you are set up for success from day one.
• Generous time off that is actually encouraged: Enjoy summer Fridays, up to five weeks of vacation per year, and your birthday off to celebrate however you want.
• Protected focus time: Deep work matters here. We intentionally protect focus time so meaningful work can actually get done.
• High standards, no agency ego: We care deeply about quality, collaboration, and doing the work right. The best idea wins.
• Intentional time together: While we are remote-first, we make time to connect through off-sites, retreats, happy hours, lunch and learns, and holiday events.
• Bonus and referral programs that reward impact: We value contributions and recognize great work through company-wide bonus programs, referral opportunities, and role-specific incentives tied to growth and performance.
• Growth that’s intentional: We offer development plans, regular performance check-ins, and support for skills training, courses, conferences, and industry events so you always know where you stand and how you can continue to grow.
• A commitment to giving back: We partner with Bread & Beyond to support people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, and we empower our team to contribute to meaningful causes.
