We’re partnering with Activate, the placemaking and destination marketing consultancy within Workman LLP, to appoint a Marketing Account Manager on a 12-month maternity cover contract.
As an Account Manager, you would work across a mixed portfolio of business parks, retail parks, shopping centres and office-led mixed-use destinations across the UK. This is a hands-on, agency-side account management role, managing multiple assets rather than being tied to a single asset or destination.
You’ll be responsible for:
* Managing and delivering integrated marketing, events and placemaking activity across a portfolio of high-profile commercial destinations
* Owning client relationships, acting as a confident and credible point of contact
* Producing and implementing destination marketing strategies that drive footfall, dwell time and engagement
* Working closely with on-site teams, tenants, property managers and internal creative teams
* Balancing regular UK travel with delivery, planning and reporting
* Managing budgets, annual plans and campaign performance
* Supporting junior team members and contributing to wider placemaking and growth projects
We’re looking for someone who:
* Has agency-side experience managing multiple accounts or assets
* Is confident, organised and comfortable juggling travel, clients and deadlines
* Has worked in property, placemaking, retail marketing, events or a client-facing marketing agency
* Communicates with gravitas and credibility at client level
* Is commercially aware, budget-savvy and delivery-focused
* Brings energy, initiative and enjoys working in a fast-growing, collaborative team
Why Activate?
* Part of Workman LLP, the UK’s leading independent commercial property management specialist
* A rapidly growing marketing agency, doubling in size and ambition
* Exposure to a diverse, interesting portfolio rather than one location
* Hybrid working, flexibility and a supportive, high-performing team culture
* Genuine scope for the role to become permanent as the business continues to grow
Location: Manchester (hybrid, with regular site travel)
Contract: 12-month maternity cover
