Job description

The Opportunity

I’m currently working with a leading integrated marketing agency in Manchester that’s on the lookout for a driven and enthusiastic Account Executive to join their growing client services team.

If you’ve got 12–18 months of marketing experience (agency or in-house), and you’re ready to take the next step into a full-service agency environment — this is your chance to kickstart a long-term career surrounded by some of the best in the industry.

You’ll be working across diverse and exciting sectors, including hospitality, healthcare, property, and more — supporting a range of integrated campaigns spanning digital, social, branding, print, and content.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting Account Managers and Senior Account Managers in the day-to-day running of client campaigns.

• Helping to coordinate projects across multiple channels – including creative, digital, print and content.

• Liaising with clients and internal teams to ensure briefs are clear, deadlines are met, and expectations are exceeded.

• Attending meetings, taking notes, managing timelines, and ensuring smooth project delivery.

• Getting hands-on with campaign reporting and research to support strategy and execution.

• Learning from an experienced team and growing your skills quickly in a collaborative agency setting.

What We’re Looking For

• Around 12–18 months' experience in a marketing, communications or client-facing role (agency experience is a bonus, but not essential).

• A genuine passion for marketing and a strong desire to build a career in an agency environment.

• A great work ethic and a proactive attitude – you’re someone who takes initiative and wants to learn.

• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail – you're comfortable juggling tasks and timelines.

• Confident communication skills, both written and verbal.

What’s On Offer

• A fantastic opportunity to develop your skills in a respected, full-service agency.

• Real opportunities for career progression, with a clear path to Account Manager and beyond.

• A varied and exciting client portfolio across hospitality, healthcare, property, and more.

• A friendly, supportive team environment that values development and collaboration.

• Hybrid working – 4 days in the Manchester office, 1 day remote.

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
