The Role

• Account Executive
• Full-Time, 40 hours per week
• Core hours 9.30am – 5.30pm

• Location: Bristol BS4
• Closing date for applications: 16 th May 2025

Firstly, a bit about us…

We are a highly respected event company specialising in quality, interactive activations and placemaking projects. We work throughout the UK and, unlike many event companies, Bakehouse Factory does it all under one roof! No two days are the same: arriving at work on any given day, you will be met with brilliant makers creating costumes, writing scripts, designing choreography, and turning creative designs into reality in a workshop full of skilled carpenters, welders, painters and scenic artists. The Bakehouse Factory family comprises a large but close-knit team of highly skilled creatives, and a national team of talented performers and event specialists who collectively bring our events to life.

Top Duties and Qualifications

The Account Executive is a pivotal member of the Client Services team, where clients are given the highest standard of service possible from Bakehouse, whether a new client working with us for the first time or those that we’ve known for years.

Your duties will include supporting the team, managing your own tasks and being part of the client communication. You thrive in an energy driven environment, enjoy a challenge, want to find your niche and are organised, task driven, and passionate about service, delivery and the client process.

Duties and responsibilities

Primarily you will be responsible for supporting the Client Services team, who are responsible for all client relationships, from brief through to the event and de-brief. You will also have your own areas of responsibility, all supported by the Head of Client Services.

Responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the team in the successful running of our client accounts, and developing positive relationship, particularly with our retail and corporate clients
• Supporting the team with the preparation of new business proposals and presentations, writing copy, researching ideas, finding content and budgeting
• Supporting the team with account administration, monitoring deadlines and tracking finance
• Supporting the team in briefing the creative, design and production teams
• Build and maintain positive and professional client and colleague relationships
• Contribute to an environment of creative excellence and demonstrate an understanding of theatre and events and monitoring the marketplace
• Supporting the team with the posting of marketing content and the development of marketing materials
• Demonstrate a continual desire to learn and develop
• Expect occasional out of hours or weekend working

Who will you report to?

As Account Executive, you will report directly to the Head of Client Services. Day to day you will work alongside other members of the Client Services Team, as well as collaborate with other departments. Bakehouse is a very collaborative team.

Bakehouse creates magical interactions and installations for well-known brands, retail clients, tourist attractions and corporate clients. For over more than a decade, we have established a reputation as an innovative market leader. We are a creative company with huge ambitions, and we are looking for someone to support that.

• Ideally, you will have some Marketing & Events industry experience, either from working within an agency or a client-side team
• An understanding of events, the creative and production process, deliverables, deadlines, the client relationship and what makes an event successful
• Ideally, you will have budget management experience, though this will also be supported
• Your social media skills are top notch
• The ability to multi-task, prioritise your workload to meet deadlines and work in a busy environment
• You will be the perfect blend of confident, creative, conscientious and comfortable working both proactively, and as a team player
• Experience using Excel, Powerpoint, Word and other software programs
• Strong presentation skills using Powerpoint, a good eye for detail, writing, sourcing images and bringing the creative ideas to life for clients
• Your interests out of work are diverse and interesting, giving you a unique edge and helping you to fit into our creative team

• Enthusiasm and passion for what you do
• The ability to create goals and break through deadlines
• Creativity
• Time management
• Tech and Social Media skill savvy
• Clear communication
• The ability for both collaboration and working autonomously

What’s in It for You:

Apart from a competitive salary, our benefits are designed to enhance your life inside and outside the office:

• Access to excellent Bike-to-work scheme
• Personal development plan and opportunities for growth
• 25 days annual leave, plus bank Holidays
• Embrace flexibility with a 4-day office week
• A fun, creative working environment, with great people, in a Bristol location

At Bakehouse we are committed to welcoming everyone and creating inclusive teams. We celebrate differences and are committed to developing a more diverse workforce through applicants with the skills and experience to help us to widen our perspective and better serve the needs of our communities.
