Job Description

Account people have to weigh and balance client needs with agency ambitions to determine the vision and then make sure everyone is clear on that vision and how to get there. Despite the title, Account Management doesn’t manage accounts; they ultimately drive businesses.

This role is responsible for the day-to-day running of projects and relationships, supporting the Account Director in leading the business and ensuring clarity, momentum, and high standards across all outputs.

  • Act as a key day-to-day client contact, building strong working relationships and trust

  • Lead project delivery across multiple workstreams, ensuring timelines, budgets, and quality standards are met

  • Translate client needs into clear briefs and actionable next steps for internal teams

  • Collaborate closely with strategy, creative, and production to deliver integrated, high-quality work

  • Contribute to strategic thinking and creative development with a clear, informed point of view

  • Ensure the internal team understands client objectives, priorities, and business context

  • Support the Account Director in managing workflow, resourcing, and project planning

  • Proactively identify risks, challenges, and opportunities, and help drive solutions

  • Maintain strong attention to detail across all deliverables

  • Support junior team members and contribute to a positive, collaborative team environment

Qualifications

  • Relevant experience in account management within a creative or integrated agency

  • Strong project management and organisational skills

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

  • High attention to detail and strong client-service orientation

  • Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
