About Harp & Sling

Harp & Sling is a storytelling-first creative agency serving the construction, engineering, architecture, design, nonprofit, and tech sectors. We help brands cut through mediocrity through cinematic video, photography, and strategic content deployment—capturing stories that strengthen culture, elevate brands, and drive measurable business results.
As we continue to scale our Storytelling Team model and expand strategic partnerships, we are seeking a high-capacity Account Manager based in DFW who thrives in a fast-paced creative environment and knows how to build and sustain meaningful client relationships.

About The Role

You will work closely with Senior Storytellers, Editors, Producers, and Leadership to execute high-performing storytelling campaigns that align with client goals.
