Job description

Senior Account Manager - Luxury & Experiential

Dubai based | Full-time

Salary flexible depending on experience

KY Talent is working with a leading creative agency in Dubai looking for a Senior Account Manager to join their team.

This role will sit across major global accounts, taking the lead on the day-to-day client relationship and managing a busy calendar of creative projects, events and activations.

It’s a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to both the client and the work - managing projects, solving problems, working alongside creative and production teams and making sure everything comes together to a really high standard.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be the main day-to-day contact for the client, getting to know their brand, priorities and upcoming projects.

You’ll manage multiple projects at once, keeping on top of timelines, budgets, approvals and deliverables, while making sure both the client and internal teams always know where things stand.

You’ll work closely with Creative and Production teams, from putting together clear briefs through to reviewing work, communicating client feedback and keeping projects moving.

This is a hands-on role, so we’re looking for someone who is comfortable getting into the detail while still seeing the bigger picture.

You’ll also support other members of the account team, helping with priorities, providing guidance and making sure projects stay organised during particularly busy periods.

What we’re looking for

• Around 5-6 years’ account management experience within an agency
• Experience working with luxury, beauty and/or lifestyle brands
• Strong experience across events, experiential, activations and creative projects
• Confident managing clients and leading day-to-day conversations
• Comfortable managing several projects and workstreams at the same time
• Strong understanding of budgets, timelines and project scope
• Experience working closely with creative and production teams
• Able to turn client conversations and feedback into clear internal briefs
• A strong eye for detail and experience delivering work for premium brands

All applications will be treated confidentially.
