Account/Senior Account Manager
Ashford
£ Negotiable
VR/03074J

Our client is recruiting for an experienced Account / Senior Account Manager to work on a prestigious portfolio of high-profile accounts.

They are a fast-paced, high-quality, full-service, marketing agency working with an exciting selection of blue-chip clients. They deliver all aspects of the marketing mix from digital (including web, apps, database, email, online advertising, mobile and CRM builds) to creative (advertising, direct mail, literature, POS, etc.).

The successful candidate will have a minimum of 2 years of agency experience, demonstrating a natural flair for marketing and communication. Ideally, your experience spans both digital and traditional marketing as you will be supporting clients with a full range of services. You will be required to attend regular client meetings (currently all online), taking the lead in many instances. Training will be provided, however you will be expected to have already gained a broad marketing knowledge and be able to work independently. The position reports to an Account Director and will work closely with the Creative and Digital Teams. Strong automotive experience or a keen interest in cars and bikes, whilst not essential, will certainly give you the edge as much of the role focuses on automotive clients.

DO YOU PREFER TO WORK FROM HOME?
Our client offers the option to work both remotely and in the office. Experience has shown that given the right processes and the right team, high-quality work gets delivered regardless of location. However, candidates should ideally be located within an easy commute to enable attendance at planned and ad-hoc meetings. For the probation period it is expected that you spend the majority of your time in the office to complete the induction process.

They have a culture of excellence which is challenging but they aim to reward. Many benefits come with working there - they run a quarterly bonus scheme, have their own in-house gym, healthy breakfast, fruit and lunch are provided, 26 days holiday rising to 28 in addition to bank holidays, and an early finish on a Friday. Culture is very much focused on creating a happy and productive environment and constantly looking at ways to improve what they do and how they do it.
