Account Manager

The speed read

A perfectly structured design and communications agency is looking for an account executive or junior account manager that’s ready to take a leap forward.

The facts:

This agency knows how to help their team get on. They have enough structure and process to support you, with enough space to give you freedom to run your own projects, so that you are encouraged to build out your skills. You will be client facing from the get-go.

You’ll have:

• Above all, a need to get your kicks by seeing a project smoothly delivered.
• A few stories to tell that may include: organising a website or some b2b content, putting together a magazine (print or digital), managing a campaign or just co-ordinating the elements of any commercial design project like a microsite or a small branding project.
• A sense of how to put a reasonable schedule together and the kind of questions to ask to figure project elements  out.
• 1 or 2 years experience managing creative, design or communications projects. You understand the cadence of work in a creative team
• An interest in design communications and how business stories get told. This agency is unapologetically b2b, so you like serious content.
• Perhaps co-ordinated photographers or illustrators and liaised internally with different people to put creative jigsaw pieces together.
• A decent head for numbers and have managed a budget.

You’ll be:

• Horribly organised. You love a peek around a corner.
• A positive presence in the team. You love sticking your hand up as you get the chance to learn.
• Hybrid, 3 days in studio, but you are the kind of person that wants to get on and be around people. It’s a lively studio that attracts sociable types. You like learning from people.

Salary circa £30k with great company benefits package including training, healthcare, pension etc.
