Job description

We’re looking for an ambitious, experienced Account Manager or Senior Account Manager with ambitions to work up to Account Director level and Beyond. FMCG Brand & Creative agency experience is a must, as is exceptional client services admin, project management, expectations management, and operational excellence. There’s plenty of room for strategic input and getting stuck into pitches, but you need to have the day-to-day nailed as well.

You’ll join a long-established, independent Brand Strategy and Creative agency entering an exciting new chapter of transformation and growth. With a major rebrand underway, they’re repositioning themselves as a forward-thinking, upstream strategic consultancy for some of the world’s biggest brands and boldest challengers.

From winning £1m+ pitches against global network agencies, to delivering standout work for household names across Europe, US, and India, they’re trusted to tackle complex business and brand challenges that shape markets and drive commercial success.

This award-winning Brand Strategy agency has many decades of heritage in the FMCG space, and in recent years has continually won high profile up-stream strategic projects across a range of B2B and B2C sectors.

What you’ll be doing

The Account Manager / Senior Account Manager will bring existing Creative & Branding agency experience – ideally including FMCG packaging design project experience, and provide exceptional clients services, relationship building and operational support for 2-4 key household name brand clients. Although an SME and independent agency, they are a “Glocal” agency (Global clients, local market knowledge, teams and expertise where their clients are based), with creative delivered from the London office, near Shoreditch.

The Account Manager / Senior Account Manager will deliver world-class brand, creative and omnichannel marketing projects for clients in the both Europe and India. Clients are varied and projects are career defining – from reimagining iconic brands, delivering creative for a world-famous Spirits/Drinks brand, to becoming part of the team delivering a major brand build and high level strategy for a new airline.

What experience you’ll need to apply

• Proven track record as an Account Manager or Senior Account Manager is ideal.
• Previous experience in a Creative, Design, or Brand Strategy agency is essential.
• Experience working with FMCG clients would be advantageous, in particular a drinks / spirits brand, but this is not essential.
• Exceptional client relationship, account management, and project delivery skills.
• Ambitious, brave, and looking to do the best work of your career – an entrepreneurial, growth mindset.

What you’ll get in return for your experience?

• A competitive salary in the region of £34k-£48k depending on experience + great benefits.
• Hybrid working, 3 days in the office in Shoreditch (typically Tuesday to Thursday in the office) – a lovely building, great vibe, surrounded by talented people.
• Career progression in line with your ambitions – the sky is the limit for talented, ambitious people. There’s an exciting future ahead and opportunity for you to carve out your piece of it.

What’s next?
