- Exposure to a broad mix of agency disciplines, including advertising, media, packaging and retail activations.
- A supportive team with opportunities to learn, grow and develop your account management skills.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Manage day-to-day client relationships, respond to requests and communicate project updates clearly and professionally.
- Coordinate projects from brief through to delivery, ensuring objectives, timelines, budgets and deliverables are understood and agreed.
- Work closely with creative, production and account colleagues to develop solutions that meet client needs and maintain high standards of work.
- Prepare and manage briefs, timelines, estimates, status reports and other project documentation.
- Monitor project budgets and schedules, flag risks or changes early, and help resolve issues constructively.
- Gather client feedback, manage approvals and support the delivery of final assets, while strengthening client relationships, improving ways of working and contributing to account growth.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience in account management or client services, ideally within a creative, marketing, advertising or media agency.
- Strong relationship-building and communication skills, with confidence working effectively with clients and colleagues at different levels.
- Excellent organisation and project management skills, including the ability to manage multiple priorities, meet deadlines and keep projects on track.
- A clear understanding of creative project workflows, from briefing and development through production and delivery, with strong attention to detail and accurate documentation.
- Commercial awareness and experience managing budgets, estimates and scope, alongside a proactive, solutions-focused approach when priorities change.
