The role will be responsible for managing a range of clients across the B2B and B2C portfolio, managing the process closely from initial concept through to end delivery. As a brand design agency, we deliver connected brand experiences, so the successful candidate will manage integrated campaigns and clients as well as standalone print or digital projects. 

This role can be worked on a hybrid basis. 

Responsibilities

• You will be expected to pitch to clients, so a very confident and assertive attitude with polished presentation skills is necessary to promote the agency’s ideas and benefits.
• Equally motivated working autonomously and as part of a team, this role will see you become the key client contact but also an integral part of wider agency projects. The agency will depend on you to give your accounts direction and maintain a clear strategy so you will be driven, ambitious and able to represent the agency independently.

• Support and manage a Senior Account Executive on their account’s growth as well as the SAE’s progress.
• Everything must be communicated – ensure that all proposals, documentation, costings, briefs, scopes and presentations are of the highest possible standard.
• Be positive and a force for good in the team – even when faced with difficult problems. Be solutions focused.
• Know when to delegate upwards and raise the alarm at the right time, to the right people when issues occur.
• Be prepared to muck in on areas outside of your immediate team. This means sharing resource, helping on other accounts, taking part in pitches, or managing any other internal initiatives if required.
