As Account Manager, you're responsible for making things happen. You take ownership of day-to-day tasks across your accounts, managing timelines, budgets and client communications with confidence and care. You're a doer across projects, you're the one keeping things moving, keeping internal teams aligned, and ensuring the details are right.
You’re supported by a strong team who are invested in your professional growth. You're confident running with tasks, but you know when to check in and collaborate. You're growing your client relationship skills and building trust through reliability, clarity and attention to detail.
You’re also part of something bigger, contributing to work that aims to make a positive impact. Whether it’s social change, community engagement or purpose-led campaigns, you play a key role in bringing that work to life.
At a high level, role responsibilities include:
- Supporting the delivery of integrated communications campaigns, working across timelines, budgets, and deliverables.

- Liaising with internal teams and external stakeholders to meet key performance indicators and contribute to account growth.
- Owning project administration, including WIP documents, meeting agendas, reporting and proofing.
- Proactively identifying and providing solutions for issues, escalating to senior team members when needed.
- Tracking and managing project budgets, including raising purchase orders and liaising with suppliers
- Staying organised and detail-focused by maintaining accurate client files, databases and documentation.
- Participating in brainstorming sessions and contributing to strategic thinking on projects.
- You have a degree in a related field, or equivalent experience.
- Existing client-facing skills in advertising and/or communications or related industry.
- You bring a positive, passionate, solutions focused ability to the team.
- Ability to work to specific timelines, budgets, and within a team.
