Account Manager

I’m working with a highly regarded specialist marketing agency in Bath that is looking to add an experienced Account Manager to its client services team. This is a varied role for someone who enjoys being close to clients, managing interesting projects and bringing different teams together to deliver great work. You’ll work with a mix of established and growing brands, helping turn marketing objectives into well-planned campaigns and communications.

What you’ll be doing
As an Account Manager, you’ll take ownership of day-to-day client relationships and become a key point of contact across a portfolio of accounts.
You’ll get under the skin of your clients’ businesses, understand their objectives and help develop marketing strategies and plans that deliver against them. You’ll work closely with specialists across creative, strategy, content, media and other disciplines to bring campaigns to life.

A big part of the role will be project management. You’ll manage activity from initial brief through to delivery, keeping projects organised, budgets on track and stakeholders updated.

You’ll also have plenty of opportunity to add your own thinking. You’ll review briefs, ask the right questions and make recommendations where you can improve the approach or strengthen the end result.

The role would suit someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in delivering great client service and likes working as part of a creative agency environment.

What experience you’ll need to apply

• Experience in Account Management, Client Services or marketing within an agency environment.
• Experience managing client relationships and building trusted working partnerships.
• Experience managing marketing projects from brief through to delivery.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, deadlines and priorities.
• Experience developing or presenting marketing and communications plans.
• Strong project management and organisational skills.
• Clear and effective communication skills across clients and internal teams.
• Experience working alongside creative, strategy, content or media specialists.
• An interest in sport, lifestyle, consumer brands or related sectors would be advantageous.

What you’ll get in return for your experience
This is a great opportunity to join a specialist agency where you’ll have genuine ownership over your accounts and the opportunity to see your work make an impact. You’ll work alongside experienced people across a range of disciplines, giving you plenty of scope to develop your skills and broaden your agency experience. The role offers a collaborative working environment, interesting client projects and the chance to build your career within a growing business.
