You'll work with well-known brands, delivering creative campaigns and digital projects across websites, social media, video and other marketing channels. With the freedom to take ownership of your accounts and the support of experienced creative and digital teams, you'll see your projects through from the first conversation to the finished result.

• 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, with additional holiday or an equivalent salary increase after five years' service.
• The opportunity to deliver creative and digital campaigns for nationally and internationally recognised brands.
• Ongoing professional development, with access to online learning, training and career progression opportunities.
• Pension, life assurance and additional wellbeing benefits.
• Free parking nearby and the support of an established, collaborative creative team.

Your responsibilities as Account Manager

• Manage a portfolio of client accounts, building relationships that support retention and long-term growth.
• Oversee creative and digital projects from initial brief through to delivery, ensuring deadlines and expectations are met.
• Coordinate designers, digital specialists and external partners to deliver campaigns across multiple channels.
• Manage project budgets, estimates and timelines to maintain quality and commercial performance.
• Identify opportunities to develop existing accounts and introduce additional services.
• Work alongside senior colleagues to ensure campaigns meet client objectives and deliver measurable value.

• Strong project management skills, including managing multiple deadlines, budgets and estimates.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting ideas and coordinating stakeholders.
• Commercial awareness and experience identifying opportunities to develop existing client relationships.
