• Partner with sales, product, operations, and support teams to deliver a consistent end‑to‑end advertiser experience

Pipeline, Forecasting & Commercial Discipline

• Maintain a structured, accurate, and strategically prioritized pipeline within Salesforce or an equivalent CRM
• Own revenue pacing and forecast quality for assigned accounts, identifying gaps early and developing recovery or acceleration plans
• Apply sound judgement to prioritize opportunities, client needs, and daily activities against commercial impact
• Meet agreed activity, conversion, revenue, retention, and service‑level expectations while maintaining a high standard of customer engagement
• Ensure clear documentation of client objectives, decision criteria, commercial opportunities, risks, commitments, and next steps
• Use account and pipeline data to provide concise updates, surface trends, and recommend actions to leadership
• Independently manage competing priorities and elevate material risks with clear context and proposed solutions

Quality, Leadership & Continuous Improvement

• Set a strong standard for customer interactions across calls, meetings, and written communication
• Ensure all work complies with agreed processes, turnaround times, quality controls, and data and privacy requirements
• Translate recurring client feedback and performance trends into actionable recommendations for leadership and partner teams
• Identify operational inefficiencies, shape practical improvements, and support implementation of more scalable ways of working
• Provide day‑to‑day guidance, peer support, and knowledge sharing to less experienced team members without direct people‑management responsibility
• Support onboarding, calibration, and best‑practice sharing across the team as required
• Represent Accenture professionally and act as a credible, customer‑centric advocate in all internal and external interactions

Basic Qualifications

• Minimum 4 years of experience in Advertising Sales or Advertising Account Management

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrated ownership of a client portfolio, revenue target, sales pipeline, or account‑growth plan
• Proven ability to lead consultative client conversations, influence decisions, and
