Do you have experience working in a fast-paced creative agency environment?

Our Client, a leading creative agency, is looking for an experienced Senior Project/ Account Manager to join their Brighton studio on a fixed-term basis (1 year maternity cover, with potential to convert to permanent). This is a high-profile role managing a major global account, where creative excellence meets precise delivery.

Key Requirements:
* Proven experience managing large-scale, global creative campaigns in a fast-paced agency setting.
* Strong account management skills, with the ability to anticipate client needs and act as the strategic voice for the brand.
* Comfortable navigating multiple projects, tight deadlines, and complex creative workflows.
* Experience across film, motion, and animation projects is essential.
* Excellent communication, relationship-building, and organisational skills.
What’s on offer:
* Fixed-term salary: £60k-65k (dependent on experience)
* Comprehensive benefits including gym membership, personal development budget, learning lunches, and wellbeing support
* Hybrid working with weekly attendance at Brighton studio
This is a fantastic opportunity for a senior project/account manager to take the reins on a globally significant, creative account, delivering career-defining campaigns in a high-energy, collaborative environment.
