2 x Account Executive | Creative Events & Communications!!!!
Are you a recent Event Management graduate or a junior professional with a genuine, burning passion for the world of live events? I am representing an award-winning creative agency in the West Midlands looking for an ambitious Account Executive to join a high-performing team. This isn’t a \"sit on the sidelines\" role; it’s a fast-track opportunity to manage your own projects for household-name brands.
What’s Different About This Role?
This role sits within a dedicated account team alongside an Account Director and Project Manager, offering you incredible mentorship. Unlike many entry-level positions, you will be given real ownership. You will manage smaller projects end-to-end—including full financial control and direct client liaison—while supporting the wider team on large-scale, global activations.
What You’ll Bring:
* Educational Foundation: A degree in Event Management or approximately one year of initial agency experience.
* Genuine Passion: We aren't just looking for someone who \"wants a job\"—we want someone who lives and breathes events and is excited by the creative process.
* High Capacity: A natural ability to learn at pace, take initiative, and stay organized under the pressure of live project deadlines.
* Attention to Detail: Meticulousness is key, especially when it comes to financial tracking and project documentation.
* The Essentials: A full driving licence and your own vehicle are required due to the unique studio location and travel requirements.
What You’ll Do:
* Project Management: Take the lead on smaller accounts, managing the full lifecycle from brief to delivery.
* Creative Collaboration: Work with internal film, digital, and graphics teams to help bring client messaging to life.
* Financial Control: Support the team in maintaining job profitability, tracking budgets, and ensuring financial accuracy.
* Strategic Support: Assist senior leads on high-profile, high-budget international projects.
* Standard Setting: Ensure all work is delivered to elite industry standards (ISO 9001), acting as a \"beacon of best practice\" within the team.
Why You’ll Love It:
* Accelerated Growth: This agency is known for developing talent; if you show the drive, you will see your responsibilities grow rapidly.
* The Culture: You’ll join a vocal, high-energy environment where your ideas are not just heard but encouraged.
* Modern Hybrid Working: Benefit from a collaborative studio environment (3 days a week) with the flexibility of remote work for the remainder.
* Travel Opportunities: Expect frequent travel within the UK and potentially internationally as you support on-site delivery.
The Ideal Fit:
You are a \"sparky,\" proactive individual who is hungry to prove themselves in the agency world. You’re likely a high-achieving graduate or an SAE-in-the-making who wants to move away from purely logistical tasks into a role that values strategic and creative thinking.
