* Have meaningful, commercially focused conversations that uncover opportunities and strengthen stakeholder trust.
* Deliver seamless, on-brief, on-budget campaigns through expert project management and cross-functional collaboration.

* Lead strategy sessions, key account plans, and performance reviews—positioning Receptional as the agency that truly “gets it.”
* Immerse yourself in our clients’ worlds: their goals, pain points, brand personality, and industry landscape.
* Use this knowledge to steer campaigns, shape service delivery, and unlock smarter, sharper opportunities.
* Share key insights across internal teams, ensuring everyone is informed, aligned, and pushing in the same direction.
* Work hand-in-hand with our SEO, paid, content and PR teams to deliver high-impact, integrated campaigns.

* Facilitate and drive internal planning sessions, helping teams prioritise opportunities and flag risks proactively.
* Ensure meetings, reporting, and updates flow efficiently, internally and externally.
* Take the lead in onboarding new clients alongside the Account Director and service leads.

* Ensure the full onboarding admin process runs smoothly—from research and profile creation to internal kick-off and cadence planning.
* Accurately forecast and track client revenue, regularly reviewing spend vs. budget and flagging any challenges early.
* Support Client Services in refining account processes and systems, ensuring we stay lean, agile, and performance-focused.
* Client Retention: Key accounts renewed and retained annually

* Passion for digital marketing—and a solid grasp of the fast-paced, competitive iGaming landscape.
* A confident, consultative communicator with a track record of building relationships and supporting to drive account growth.
* Knowledge across core digital channels—SEO, PPC, content, social, PR—and the tools that power them (e.g., GA, GSC, Ahrefs).
* A natural organiser and problem-solver, able to balance multiple priorities without losing sight of the details.
* Entrepreneurial spirit—you bring energy, ownership, and ideas to the table.
* You’re as comfortable presenting to clients as you are coordinating across internal teams.
* You’re collaborative, proactive, and up for a challenge. In short: you’re ready to go all in
