As an Account Manager you will build and manage relationships with your share of our clients, holding ultimate responsibility for the strategic direction, growth and success of their campaigns.

Supported by our Client Support role, you will be responsible for planning and leading client review meetings, maintaining a proactive and analytical attitude to each account to ensure that all opportunities are being maximised and driving the delivery team to deliver the best possible outcomes. You will follow our Campaign Management plan to ensure clients are getting the service levels required to ensure success. Whilst you will be accountable for all aspects of the delivery of work to the client, the role goes beyond merely giving a client what they want. You must be a strong problem solver who can analyse the situation and develop solutions to add value to our clients. It's important that our clients enjoy working with us and see the value in doing so. In this role you must make sure this is how our clients perceive us and have the confidence and ability to put steps in place to address it if you feel its not.

This role is a sales role and the ultimate objective is to deliver continuous revenue growth from your retained accounts (post the first 3 months). Therefore, you will seek longer commitments from clients, as well as new business opportunities by cross selling and upselling. You will uphold company values and be responsible for assisting with achieving company goals and targets. You will also be responsible for building a strong relationship with our Sales floor, ensuring a seamless experience for our clients.

You will be valued, challenged, rewarded and you'll have fun in this fast-paced environment.
