Job Description
We are McCann Central, the UK’s largest integrated agency. Over 500 individuals working together to help brands play a meaningful role in people’s lives.
We are also part of McCann Worldgroup, a global agency network that delivers culture-shaping work for some of the world’s biggest brands.
And to add to the (literal) wheelbarrow full of awards we’ve got including Euro Effies most effective global agency, Cannes Network of the Year, Campaign’s European Integrated Agency of the Year, not to mention McCann Central’s haul of awards in recent years at Cannes Lions, Clios, One Show, D&AD, LIAs, Golden Drum & Creative Circle Awards. So creativity really is at the forefront of everything we do.
We’re a team of passionate creatives, strategists and marketers from a wide mix of backgrounds. But there’s a lot that unites us – like caring deeply about everything we make. And though our skillsets are wide and our process knowledge is deep, we are all still learning every day.
Who We Are.
McCann Birmingham are searching for a seasoned Senior Account Manager to join our team. As a pivotal figure within our Business Leadership division, you will collaborate closely with our creative and strategic teams to orchestrate fully integrated marketing initiatives for a major transport brand.
In your role as Senior Account Manager, a background in marketing/advertising agency operations is essential. However, what truly sets you apart is your proactive approach. You possess an impressive track record of executing campaigns proficiently across various platforms, from conceptualisation to implementation, both online and offline. As a Senior Account Manager, you will be the linchpin for the client relationship, leading key projects, developing accurate scopes and estimates, and providing sound forecasting.
We're looking for someone who is adept at working at pace, overseeing multiple projects under demanding conditions, and your knack for team coordination and ensuring seamless operations make you an invaluable asset. Experience working alongside a creative department, coupled with strong communication skills and meticulous attention to detail, further solidifies your suitability for this role.
What we'd like to see (aka: the bullet points)
* Detail: you’re all over it, all of the time. Detail, detail, detail. Clearly applied in presentations, reviews, documentation and reporting ensuring all work and that of the team is produced to the highest quality
* Great under pressure, you can keep multiple plates spinning and are calm when the deadlines come at you
* You will have worked within agencies (or client side), ideally on fast turnaround accounts where you have gained integrated marketing experience
* Strong collaboration and client management skills - you build relationships that last with ease and client can trust and rely upon you. You can also form strong internal relationships as collaboration across departments is key
* Understand the marketing channel mix and how to implement highly successful, integrated campaigns
* Well organised and able to use initiative to prioritise workloads and those of your team
* Have some experience of managing others eg Account Managers and/or Account Executives and are collaborative and team-oriented
* Possess a level of maturity and common sense to work through problems and proactively suggest solutions
* Literate and numerate. That means you write well (including in your job application), and have great commercial acumen
* You can distil large amounts of information into key insights for client and keep abreast of trends and the client’s competition
* Overall you are bright, enthusiastic and a strong team player
Benefits
In addition to a competitive salary, we are committed to creating a brilliant environment for all our people. This includes benefits such as 28 days holiday, plus the opportunity to take additional fully paid leave, enhanced pension contributions, life assurance and much more.
A culture of learning and development is also central to our ethos, so you’ll have access to industry leading training and development programmes, plus you’ll get to work closely with the world’s biggest media partners to access exclusive features and products.
Most importantly, you’ll be part of a fun and collaborative team and you’ll work in an environment where you are supported and developed.
Our commitment to equal opportunities
For us, diversity is a business imperative – one that must be embedded into every aspect of how we operate in order to drive success. Simply put, we believe an encouraging and inclusive environment makes sound business sense.
As a globally integrated community that influences and shapes culture, it’s vital that the talent mix in our agencies encompasses all dimensions of diversity, and that we demand the same of the people we work with.
Conscious inclusion encompasses social, cultural and cognitive differences and cultivates an ethos of belonging, connection and shared purpose. It is the integration of this philosophy that allows us to create meaningful experiences for our employees, drive better business practices with our vendors and clients, and ultimately lead with purpose.
McCann is a disability confident committed employer and will guarantee an interview to any disabled candidate who meets the minimum criteria for this role, so please do let us know when you apply if you are eligible, along with any adjustments you may need to the recruitment process to enable you to perform at your best.
