Job description

We're working with an ambitious, independent marketing agency in Wakefield that is looking to strengthen its Client Services team with the appointment of a Senior Account Executive.

This is a great opportunity for an agency-side Senior Account Executive who wants to work in a genuinely integrated environment, gaining exposure across a broad mix of marketing channels and working closely with specialists across the agency.

We're not necessarily looking for someone who is an expert across every discipline. You may have developed a particular strength in areas such as digital, social, creative, content, media or brand — but you'll need to have a good understanding of the wider marketing landscape and, importantly, be excited by the opportunity to work across integrated campaigns.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll play an important role in supporting the delivery of client accounts and integrated marketing activity, working closely with Account Managers, Account Directors and wider agency specialists.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the day-to-day management of client accounts and relationships.
• Coordinating integrated campaigns across multiple channels and disciplines.
• Working with internal teams across creative, digital, media, social, content and other specialist functions.
• Managing campaign timelines, deliverables and internal processes to ensure work is delivered effectively.
• Supporting the development of briefs and translating client requirements into clear internal briefs.
• Building strong relationships with clients and becoming a trusted point of contact.
• Contributing to campaign planning, ideas and strategic discussions.
• Coordinating feedback between clients and internal teams.
• Supporting reporting and understanding campaign performance and outcomes.
• Helping to identify opportunities to develop client accounts and introduce additional agency capabilities.
• Taking increasing ownership of projects and client activity as your experience develops.

What We’re Looking For

We're looking for someone who has developed a solid grounding in agency account management and is ready to take the next step in their career.

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous experience within a marketing, creative, digital or integrated agency environment.
• Experience working across multiple marketing channels, with broader exposure particularly valued.
• A good understanding of how different marketing disciplines work together to deliver effective campaigns.
• Strong organisational and project management skills.
• Excellent communication skills, both internally and with clients.
• The confidence to build relationships and contribute to client conversations.
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach.
• The ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced agency environment.
• Commercial awareness and an understanding that great client service needs to be balanced with effective agency delivery.
• A genuine interest in integrated marketing and a desire to broaden your experience across different channels.

You might have a particular strength in digital, paid media, social, creative, content, CRM, PR, brand or another discipline. That's absolutely fine.

What's important is that you're not operating in a silo.

You’ll need to understand the role that different channels play within the wider customer journey and be comfortable working alongside specialists to deliver joined-up campaigns.

The broader your channel exposure, the better — but curiosity and a genuine desire to work in an integrated environment are just as important as your existing experience.

Why This Agency?

This is an opportunity to join an independent, fully integrated agency where you'll have the opportunity to work across a genuinely broad range of clients, projects and marketing disciplines.

You’ll be joining a collaborative environment where Client Services sits at the heart of the agency, giving you the opportunity to develop your career beyond simply managing individual channels and become a well-rounded integrated marketer.

For the right person, it's an excellent opportunity to build on your existing agency experience, broaden your skill set and progress within a growing independent agency.
