Job description

This is a great opportunity to join a thriving, successful, still growing full service digital agency based in Glasgow. A new position has arisen for a Digital Account & Project Manager (i.e. an all round star) to join the client services team.

The ideal candidate will be a confident communicator and natural organiser who thrives on delivering outstanding digital results for clients. You’ll have a passion for both client servicing and structured project management, with experience in a marketing agency environment. This is a hybrid role that sits across client relationship management and hands‑on project delivery, making it ideal for someone who loves variety and responsibility in their daily workload.

Client Account Management / Client Services

• Act as the main day‑to‑day point of contact for your clients.
• Build strong, trusted relationships with clients through regular communication, transparency, and strategic input.
• Lead client calls and meetings, preparing agendas, decks, and contact reports.
• Prepare and deliver monthly marketing reports and performance commentary, ensuring accuracy and actionable insights.
• Support the Client Services Director with client onboarding and account development.
• Maintain up‑to‑date client WIP/status trackers and internal housekeeping documents.
• Help identify and propose growth opportunities, demonstrating commercial awareness of each account.

Project Management

• Own the end‑to‑end delivery of web projects (e.g. web builds, retainer work), ensuring they’re delivered on time, on budget, and to spec.
• Create and maintain project plans, timelines, and scoping docs.
• Schedule and run regular project catch‑ups with both clients and internal teams.
• Work closely with internal teams (design, development, marketing, content) to brief work, manage workflows, and prioritise deliverables.
• Monitor project scope and ensure clear documentation of requirements and deliverables.
• Follow up on actions from meetings and ensure all stakeholders remain aligned throughout the project lifecycle.
• Conduct UAT and post‑deployment testing

To be considered for this role, you will possess:

• Minimum 3+ years in a digital agency in an account or project management role (ideally with crossover). This will be gained in an agency (or agency-like) environment; your knowledge of agency processes must be second to none.
• Strong organisational and time management skills with the ability to manage multiple clients and projects concurrently.
• Comfortable using project management tools and client reporting platforms.
• Experience with digital marketing and web development processes.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to manage stakeholders and maintain a calm, solutions‑focused attitude under pressure.
• Retail or hospitality marketing would be advantageous

Salary c£35,000 + benefits
