Job description

Fox Talent is hiring: Senior Account Manager, Client Services

Dubai, UAE | Office-based (WFH Fridays) | Full-time

Salary: Up to AED 30,000 per month

We're partnering with an independent, boutique creative agency specialising in experiential marketing and events to find a Senior Account Manager to join their growing Client Services team.

The Company

Our client works from first idea to final execution, bringing together creative thinking, crafted environments and exceptional people to deliver brand experiences where every detail is intentional. Their integrated Creative, Production and talent teams cover the full lifecycle of an experience, from concept and creative development through to build, on-ground execution and guest experience, for some of the world's most recognisable luxury and blue-chip brands.

They have solid foundations and real momentum but still think and move like a start-up. Their model is intentional: fewer clients, deeper relationships, repeat work. They see themselves as an extension of their clients' teams, not just a supplier, and they're building a culture where people are given honest expectations, real investment and space to grow. They're expanding quickly across the GCC, and whoever joins now will have genuine influence over how the business takes shape.

The Role

As Senior Account Manager, you'll sit at the centre of everything as the link between clients and the Creative and Production teams. You'll be the person clients rely on and the person the team looks to for direction. You'll manage accounts end-to-end, lead junior team members and help shape new business, and you'll be as comfortable in a client meeting as you are on-site during a live build.

• Lead day-to-day client relationships as the primary point of contact
• Build long-term partnerships focused on repeat business and account growth
• Translate client objectives into clear briefs for internal teams
• Lead client meetings, presentations and calls with confidence
• Lead projects from brief to delivery, managing timelines, budgets and resources
• Produce and present clear, visually compelling presentations (Keynote or Pitch)
• Own project budgets: track spend, flag risks and reconcile on completion
• Work closely with Creative and Production to deliver on brief and on time
• Bring solid working knowledge of production. You don't need to be a specialist, but you should know enough to have informed conversations and spot problems early
• Brief, manage and negotiate with suppliers across fabrication, AV, logistics and more
• Maintain strong supplier relationships and ensure quality from all third parties
• Guide and support junior team members with direction and feedback
• Contribute to new business pitches with client insight and production knowledge

No unnecessary hierarchy, no politics, just a team who genuinely care about the work and show up for each other.

The Ideal Candidate

• Atleast 5 years of proven account management experience in an experiential, events or creative agency
• A track record of growing accounts and driving repeat business
• Confident, clear and commercially aware client-facing skills
• End-to-end project delivery experience, including budget ownership
• Comfort briefing and negotiating with production suppliers
• Proficiency in Keynote or Pitch
• Experience managing or mentoring junior team members
• Highly organised, solutions-focused and calm under pressure
• Pride in the detail and high personal standards
