The Role

We are looking for Senior Account Manager to help manage one of the agency's key clients.

Reporting to the Account Director, you will find yourself immersed in a collaborative environment and working with a highly experienced team. You will develop and execute integrated campaigns - with a growing focus on social, content, and digital activations – that will bring fun and fame to you and the agency. You will have a heavy hand in shaping the strategic planning and direction for your campaigns, and you will work closely with the creative and production teams to delivery work that exceeds your clients' expectations. You will be an experienced manager and a skilled communicator, able to build relationships with a range of clients while also managing and mentoring junior team members.

This may be the opportunity for you if you're looking to elevate your experience in advertising through:

• Building deep knowledge on a particular client

• Working in a nimble environment that enables you to flex your skills in strategic thinking, client management, and project management

• Championing exciting and brave creative work, especially in social and digital

• You have an eye for numbers – you will be responsible for managing campaign budgets, working with the Integrated Producers and Creatives to ensure that the desired work is delivered at the best value to our clients, while at the same time ensuring revenue targets are met

• You have some experience in mentoring/managing account executives or interns (if none, note this will be an additional responsibility for the successful candidate)

• You are able to build and hold client relationships up to Senior Marketing Manager level

• You have experience in coordinating and managing other agency partners (including: media, digital, social media) in executing integrated campaigns and acting as brand guardian
