Senior Account Manager

The role

We are looking to hire a Senior Account Manager to work on one of our biggest B2C clients.

The opportunity represents a lot of what’s great about advertising, but inherently it means that we’re looking for a very specific type of person. Someone who loves analytics and data, has an understanding of Paid Social,  is eager to learn and thrives in a fast paced and dynamic environment. Experience on an FMCG and / or retail client is a bonus.

“If you thrive working on  a fast paced account, and love teamwork this is the position for you. It is definitely a milestone role in your career.” – Ali Spillane (Account Director)

The Senior Account Manager is a highly motivated self-starter who can lead, but can also throw themselves into any project and do what needs to get done. The role requires an ownership mindset and a strong sense of responsibility across any task small or large.

As social is our bread and butter, ideally you have previous experience within a social media agency. Experience with influencer marketing and paid media is also a plus!
