🚀 Senior Account Manager (Marketing)

📍 Northampton (Hybrid)

💰 £42,000 – £47,000

🍫Working With A Global Chocolate Brand


Looking for a role where you’re not just managing accounts… but genuinely shaping them?


This is an opportunity for a commercially-minded Senior Account Manager to step into a key client-facing role, owning relationships, driving growth, and delivering standout work across a fast-paced, collaborative environment.


You’ll be trusted, visible, and central to both client success and internal delivery.


🌟 What you’ll be doing


• Owning day-to-day and strategic client relationships – becoming a true partner, not just a contact

• Managing budgets, forecasts, and profitability across projects

• Spotting opportunities to grow accounts and introduce new services

• Translating client briefs into clear, actionable direction for creative teams

• Leading projects end-to-end – from concept through to delivery

• Delegating and mentoring junior team members (typically 1 direct report)

• Driving high standards across creative output, ensuring everything is on-brief and on-brand

• Supporting larger strategic campaigns and stepping in to lead pitches and key meetings when needed

• Keeping everything moving – juggling multiple projects, stakeholders, and deadlines without dropping the ball


💡 What makes this role different


This isn’t just about servicing clients.

You’ll play a key role in:

• Driving account growth

• Influencing strategy

• Improving ways of working

• Acting as a go-to problem solver across the business

If you like autonomy, responsibility, and having a real say in how things are done… you’ll enjoy this.


✅ What we’re looking for


• Experience as an Account Manager / Senior Account Manager / Project Manager

• Ideally some exposure to retail or shopper marketing

• Strong commercial awareness – you understand budgets, ROI and growth

• Excellent communication skills – clear, confident and client-ready

• High attention to detail across both copy and creative

• Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment

• Strong organisational and problem-solving skills

• Confident working with internal teams, clients and suppliers

• Experience mentoring or managing junior team members (nice to have)

• Proactive mindset – someone who looks for solutions, not problems


🔥 Why this role?


• Genuine opportunity to step up and influence

• Strong mix of strategic and hands-on work

• Collaborative, high-energy environment

• Clear impact on client success and business growth


If you’re at that point where you want more ownership, more influence, and more commercial exposure… this is the kind of move that accelerates things.
