The Role.
As an Account Manager, you'll play an integral role in delivering fantastic work for our clients. You'll have an excellent understanding of the social media landscape and how it fits into integrated marketing campaigns. You'll be comfortable liaising closely with clients and stakeholders at a mid and senior level, and work collaboratively with our creative, design and production teams to effectively manage projects through from briefing to asset delivery.
The Team.
This role will sit within our Client Services (CX) team, alongside account directors and account executives. The team works in close partnership with strategy, influencer, creative, design and production. We are an entrepreneurial bunch, always ready to roll up our sleeves and help each other.
Your responsibilities.
Client management: Working with clients at a mid and senior level, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day client liaison across a variety of always on retainers and campaigns. Well versed in the art of managing expectations and constructively pushing back when needed, you'll also have fantastic communication skills and feel comfortable presenting. As part of your day-to-day, you will also be expected to proactively keep up to date with industry news and share with our teams and clients as relevant.
Project management: You'll be comfortable with the often fast-paced, plate-spinning nature of agency life, overseeing the daily always-on output of the account by developing budgets, timelines and SOWs. You'll also be confident at distilling client briefs or business problems by translating them into marketing, communication or social objectives. You'll be adept at working closely with the creative & production teams to ensure work remains on track, on brief and is delivered on time. You'll also have a sound understanding of paid media, offering support and recommendations to the creative, client and paid teams where necessary. You'll be an incredibly organised and process driven individual, with enough initiative to take a project by the horns and own it from start to finish.
Quality control: You'll be one of the brand guardians of your account, preventing any work that isn't up to scratch or on-brand from leaving the building (or home office!).
Commercial: You'll have a strong understanding of managing campaign and production budgets and be able to identify opportunities for upselling in the event of underspend.
Reporting: You'll have experience pulling monthly or quarterly reports for your clients, analysing performance data across Meta, TikTok, X and YouTube, and be comfortable presenting that data back to clients alongside learnings and content optimisation recommendations.
Team support: You'll have some experience managing junior team members with the ability to oversee workload, provide direction and delegate tasks. As well as manage upwards to senior management where necessary.
