Account Manager
Do you want to use your communications expertise to drive meaningful change in the world? We’re looking for an experienced Account Manager to join our team on a 3 month fixed-term contract, working across campaigns that tackle some of today’s most pressing global challenges.
About the role:
In this role, you’ll help deliver communications that make a tangible difference.

- Work with clients to develop briefs for key campaign deliverables, alongside the Senior Strategist
- Manage content development and production with minimal oversight from the SAD
- Manage internal team – ensuring clear understanding and accountability for what needs to happen when and by whom
- Leverage critical thinking skills to navigate feedback from clients and engage in critical discussion where needed to ensure the best quality of work
- Maintain the brilliant basics of account management on the account – contact reports, status reports etc.
- Motivate and manage internal and external stakeholders to deliver the items for which they are accountable.
What you'll bring:
- Some experience in creative communications agencies
- Experience managing end-to-end content process from briefing to creative development to production
- Experience as day-to-day client lead during creative development and production process
- Experience delivering campaigns designed for activation beyond broadcast media (e.g. in social or influencer channels, PR or events)
- Experienced in ensuring key account management tasks completed to high quality on time – status reports, contact reports, financial tasks (raising POs etc)
- Solid interpersonal capabilities along with strong verbal, visual and written communication skills
- A proven track record in project management and organization
- Resourceful problem solver
