• Ensure a high standard of work throughout the entire project – from briefing to final delivery
• Understand how ideas translate across different channels and touchpoints – from campaigns and content to social, digital and emerging formats
• Stay curious about culture, technology, platforms and changing audience behaviour and bring relevant developments into your projects
• Embrace AI and emerging technologies as part of modern agency work and explore how new tools can improve workflows, collaboration and delivery
• Contribute to continuously improving the way we work – within project teams, across disciplines and together with our clients

YOUR PROFILE

• 3-4+ years of experience in account management, project management or a comparable client-facing role within a creative, brand, digital or integrated agency
• Proven experience independently managing client relationships and complex projects

• Confidence in client communication, presentations and budget conversations
• A proactive, solution-oriented mindset and the confidence to take ownership and make decisions
• The ability to bring structure to complex projects without slowing down the creative process
