YOUR NEXT CH
ALLENGEWe’re looking for an Account Manager to join our Client Planning team. You’ll report into an Account Director, be supported by a Business Director, and lead at least one Account Executive. You’ll also be part of a wider team including Directors, Senior Account Managers and Execs who’ll have your back as you get st
uck in.
This role is all about great account management and planning. We’re after someone who knows their way around AV and Print, but if you’ve got broader channel experience (or want to grow it), you’ll have the chance to do ju
st that.
You’ll take the lead on managing large, multi-channel budgets with a strong focus on getting campaigns live and delivering results. Process matters, but what matters more is your ability to make things happen and make them hap
pen well.
WHAT YOU BRING T
O THE TEAMYou’ll work across a number of key accounts, across a variety of commercial sectors. They’re active across the full media mix, with a focus on AV & Print channels. You’ll work with the other channel teams to ensure best in class integrated media
planning.
You’ll be the engine room for these accounts. That means shaping planning responses, managing delivery, and keeping everything (and everyone) on track. You’ll collaborate with teams across AV, digital, effectiveness and reporting to make sure our work doesn’t just meet expectations, it
beats them.
