This Role:

We’re looking for a super curious, highly organised and keen Account Executive. You will be the organisational backbone of our client teams, supporting Account Managers and Directors to deliver brilliant work. You’ll act as a vital link between our clients and the agency, helping to coordinate projects from brief to delivery. While not essential, some experience or exposure to an agency environment is preferable.

 

Your role will include: 

Project Coordination: Supporting the day-to-day coordination of brand and campaign projects to ensure they are delivered on time, on brief and efficiently.

Client Services Support: Attending client meetings, taking detailed minutes/contact reports and helping to manage day-to-day client communications and status updates.

Team Collaboration: Working closely with Account Managers, Directors, and the Creative team to help execute multichannel campaigns.

Admin: Assisting in drafting creative briefs, setting up project timelines, and keeping internal status sheets meticulously updated.

Logistics: Arranging, prepping and attending client meetings and CoCreate sessions (including managing agendas, materials, and logistics).

Creative Support: Helping to prepare presentation decks for creative concepts and capturing client feedback accurately.

Financial and Tracking: Assisting with financial admin, including drafting cost estimates and setting up and managing timing plans.

Market Insight: Undertaking desk research (e.g., competitor reviews and industry trends) to support client strategies.

Supplier Liaison: Communicating with external suppliers to source quotes and track deliverables.

 

Your knowledge and skills:

  • Brilliant Communication: A confident communicator who is enthusiastic, pro-active, keen to learn and ready to develop in a thriving consultancy environment.
  • Impeccable Attention to Detail: Strong organisational skills with a passion for quality control.
  • Time Management: Exceptional multitasking skills and the ability to manage your own workload across multiple fast-moving accounts.
  • Process Driven: Capable in tracking jobs through the system from concept to final artwork, ensuring the creative team has the details they need.
  • Numeracy Skills: Comfortable with numbers and eager to learn financial processes (estimates, budgets, invoicing).
  • Team Player: Happy to work collaboratively as part of a close-knit team, but independent enough to take ownership of your daily tasks.
  • Creative Passion: A passionate thinker who truly “gets” what we’re about: ideas, relationships, and Co-Create.
  • Travel: Happy to travel for work; a full driving licence is preferred as travel for client meetings may be necessary.
