Job description

Job Overview

We are looking for an energetic and ambitious Account Executive, keen to join our fast-paced, fun, and evolving creative agency.

Reporting into the Senior Project Manager, this role will provide crucial support to the client services team in delivering creative packaging projects for several well-known global FMCG brands.

The Account Executive will come in initially to provide admin support but will be given the opportunity to take on their own projects in time. This is a hybrid position working Monday to Friday.

Primary Areas of Focus

Support the management and delivery of projects

• Support the Client Services Team in producing estimates, timings, and resource plans in response to client briefs.
• Assist with the production of detailed briefs for the creative team.
• Develop a relationship with clients.
• Work closely with the CS Team to monitor projects, helping to ensure they are delivered to agreed scope, timings, budget.
• Understand the broader requirements of the accounts they are involved in and find helpful ways to contribute to their successful delivery.
• Support the CS team by taking ownership of invoicing, POs, and other internal process admin.

Professional Conduct

• Ensure clear internal and external communication is maintained between all parties, acting as a first point of contact for clients.
• Ensure that all documentation, costings, briefs, scopes, and presentations are of the highest possible standard.
• Be positive and a force for good in the team – even when faced with difficult problems. Be solutions focused.
• Know when to delegate upwards and raise the alarm at the right time, to the right people when issues occur.
• Be prepared to muck in on areas outside of the immediate team. This means sharing resources, helping on other accounts or managing any other internal initiatives if required.

Building and Safeguarding Relationships

• Build a relationship with clients; good rapport here is key to success of both the delivery process and account development.
• Be responsible for ensuring that relevant clients and account team members are kept up to date on project developments: changes in timings, costs and any issues arising. Communicate regularly and don't avoid difficult conversations.
• Ensure that internal and client signoffs are obtained on all key project deliverables.

The ideal candidate should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the requirements to manage multiple projects efficiently, on‑time and within budget.

Qualifications

• Enthusiastic and willing to learn
• Attentive to detail
• Professional and courteous
• Able to multi‑task
• Passionate about creativity
• Interested in helping clients see the bigger picture
