Senior Account Manager

Who are we?

A world where complexity is the only constant demands a new breed of company. Brave Bison is a different beast: a media, marketing and technology company purpose built for the digital era.

Our universe is made up of award-winning business arms Brave Bison, Engage and SocialChain. And we’re underpinned by our very own social-first media network who deliver monthly views in the billions for some of the biggest channels in sport and entertainment across YouTube, Snap, Meta and TikTok.

We’re a global collective who live and breathe digital, working with some of the boldest brands and sports rights holders in the world to capitalise on the complexity that defines the modern marketing landscape.

Our mission

New platforms, new behaviours, new audiences, new trends, new technologies, new regulations—our clients’ worlds get more complex daily. Their agency partnerships shouldn’t. It’s our job to cut through the chaos, make the complex simple and navigate a clear path to growth for them.

That’s why we make it our mission to capitalise on complexity for our clients—by crafting dynamic digital solutions that outpace tomorrow’s challenges.

Our values

We’re a proudly diverse business comprised of deep specialists across social media, digital marketing and technology. Although our skills, backgrounds and beliefs may differ, we are united by four core shared values:

• Bold Curiosity: We run at change and challenge convention because we love to push the boundaries of what the world thinks is possible. We champion discovery, go deep into our clients’ worlds and are always hungry to learn more about them, our specialisms and each other.
• Connected Clarity: We are focused in our collaboration — joining the right dots between our clients, our partners and our herd of experts to deliver agile solutions at speed and scale. We set a shared ambition from the outset, are transparent at every stage and always strive to make the complex simple.
• Positive Encouragement: We want to make working with us the best part of someone’s day. We lift one other up, find the fun in the day to day and are committed to ensuring everyone belongs.
• Constant Impact: We believe in outcomes over outputs. We’re goal orientated, results driven and data-led. We show up with passion every day. And we’re always honing our craft.

The role

We’re looking for a Senior Account Manager who thrives in the sweet spot of strategic thinking, digital marketing, and exceptional client service.

In this role, you’ll be the driving force of our client relationships, steering multi-disciplinary teams, championing strategy, and ensuring we’re delivering measurable success across SEO, content, digital PR, data, and UX.

You’ll act as the go-to expert on your clients’ brands, delivering insight-led solutions and forward-thinking ideas that influence decisions and unlock growth.

You’ll own your accounts end-to-end: from building strong stakeholder relationships to ensuring seamless delivery and profitability. You're commercially savvy, detail-obsessed, and confident navigating high-level client conversations.

If you're passionate about digital marketing, get a buzz from building trust with clients, and want to play a key role in shaping the future of their success (and ours), we’d love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day management of a portfolio of client accounts, ensuring delivery of value and strategic development with minimal senior oversight.
• Develop a deep understanding of client businesses, industries, and KPIs and goals—offering proactive, insight-led recommendations that shape digital strategy.
• Act as a strategic advisor, clearly articulating the rationale behind our approach and the ROI of our work.
• Oversee delivery across SEO, content, digital PR, data, and UX—owning planning, account resourcing, scheduling, and cost estimation to ensure seamless execution.
• Foster strong, mutually beneficial relationships with key client stakeholders, building trust and long-term partnerships.
• Collaborate closely with product leads and the Performance Director to evolve strategies and adapt to external business factors.
• Identify opportunities for growth, working with teams to scope and convert them into profitable workstreams using our existing frameworks.
• Own and contribute to Account Development Plans, renewal strategies, and long-term financial planning for each account.
• Create high-quality briefs, proposals, SoWs, and presentations with minimal support, ensuring all client documentation meets our standards.
• Monitor financial performance, project profitability, and resourcing needs—proactively addressing risks and flagging revenue shifts to senior leadership.
• Have financial ownership of your ‘business’ and in-depth understanding of financial status of your accounts at all times.
• Be responsible for account/project profitability and maintaining agreed fee income.
• Regularly update and maintain client project plans through our internal processes.
• Lead quarterly insights conversations and QBRs, providing strategic recommendations backed by performance data.
• Advocate for clients internally, sharing opportunities, feedback, and case studies to inform innovation and agency-wide improvements.
• Maintain a strong commercial mindset in all decision-making, balancing client success with agency profitability and operational efficiency.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for a commercially-minded and strategically driven Senior Account Manager who’s passionate about digital and thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

You should be confident in your ability to position our services within the wider marketing mix, bringing both strategic thinking and a hands-on attitude to the table. A natural communicator with strong attention to detail, you’ll be comfortable presenting ideas clearly and persuasively to stakeholders at every level.

Desired experience and attributes:

• 3+ years’ relevant experience
• Demonstrable experience of managing and growing strong client relationships with the ability to cross and up sell; must be able to credibly discuss opportunities across our entire organic product offering.
• Paid media and ATL experience is beneficial but not essential.
• An entrepreneurial spirit, with a willingness to work independently
• Self-motivated and highly organised, with the ability to manage complex projects across multiple stakeholders
• An agency-spirited approach; we want individuals who aspire to impact the direction and performance of the entire team as well as their direct accounts.
