Senior Account Manager: The Architect of Iconic Partnerships
Multi-Award-Winning Experiential Agency | London (Hybrid) | £48k–£55k + Bonus
Hybrid working pattern
Are you a relationship mastermind who sees a client brief not just as a task, but as an opening move in a long-term strategic game?
We are representing a premier, London-based experiential agency that doesn’t just \"do\" events—they build legacies for tech giants and financial titans. They are looking for a high-performing Senior Account Manager to lead a world-class portfolio. This isn't about chasing new leads; it’s about the sophisticated art of organic growth, deep-rooted trust, and turning \"global brands\" into \"lifelong partners.\"
What’s Different About This Role?
In an industry known for high turnover, this agency is the outlier. They are the \"forever home\" for ambitious talent. Their Head of People started as a PA; their newest Board Member started as an intern. This is a place where your career isn't just managed—it’s engineered for longevity. You’ll be joining a culture that values \"happy to get on\" energy over ego, where the dogs are friendly, the office gym is waiting, and the projects are genuinely culture-shifting.
What You’ll Bring:
* Agency DNA: 5–6 years of experience within a fast-paced agency (events or marketing). You understand the rhythm, the stakes, and the \"magic\" required to keep clients coming back.
* Commercial Gravity: You’ve steered project budgets of £500k+ with a forensic eye on profitability and a flair for identifying untapped revenue.
* Sector Sophistication: You can hold your own in a room with tech innovators and financial leaders, backed by seamless technical literacy (Google Apps pro-level).
* Operational Intuition: You know enough about the \"how\" (production/ops) to ensure the \"what\" (client vision) is always grounded in reality.
* The Right Vibe: You embody transparency, accountability, and a restless curiosity. You thrive in direct, high-speed environments.
What You’ll Do:
* Mastermind the Account: Move beyond the day-to-day to create actionable, high-level account plans that secure long-term client satisfaction and growth.
* Be the Trusted Adviser: Go deep into your clients’ business objectives, becoming a proactive partner rather than just a service provider.
* Oversee the Portfolio: Lead the strategic planning, design, and delivery of both live and digital experiences, ensuring every KPI is smashed.
* Innovate & Sustain: Weave industry-leading sustainability and digital trends into every proposal, keeping your clients ahead of the curve.
* Global Synchronicity: Collaborate with UK and US teams to ensure a seamless, \"one-agency\" feel for your global clients.
Why You’ll Love It:
* The Culture: A creative, inclusive, dog-friendly hub in the heart of the city.
* The Rewards: An annual bonus that reflects your impact and a comprehensive private health and dental package.
* The Balance: A firm 3-day office split—perfect for real-world collaboration without sacrificing your flexibility.
* The Perks: 20 days holiday + Bank Holidays, plus those extra, non-contractual \"golden days\" over the Christmas period to truly switch off.
The Ideal Fit:
You are a Senior Account Manager who is ready to graduate from \"managing tasks\" to \"owning relationships.\" You have the professional maturity to handle high-pressure corporate landscapes and the creative spark to make experiential marketing feel fresh. You want a role where your hard work is rewarded with a clear path to the boardroom.
