About the role

You’ll matchmake strategists to projects, translate objectives into roadmaps, allocate resources, and oversee execution. You’ll proactively identify growth opportunities and strengthen relationships.

Working closely with a Head of Marketing, Strategic Partners, and Delivery Partner Network, you'll ensure projects deliver measurable, business-driven results.

Acting as a key relationship owner, you'll guide clients towards strategic growth and foster long-term partnerships.

The skills you’ll need

• 4+ years experience in account management, resource management, or strategic project management, ideally within a creative, brand, or innovation agency.

• A strategic mindset to translate business challenges into plans and oversee execution.

• Experience developing detailed project plans, defining scopes, and setting milestones.

• Ability to understand client needs, translate them into actionable briefs, and contribute to client satisfaction and retention.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, confident working with C-suite executives, founders, and investors.

• Experience managing external consultants or distributed teams.

• A proactive approach to identify opportunities, problem-solve, and add value.

• Ability to balance big-picture thinking with hands-on execution to ensure strategy and delivery align.
