Account Manager

Posted by AF Selection.

Voted as one of the best agencies to work for, and the sort of place where they'll big you up and not tear you down, combined with a culture that is grounded, supportive, empowering, and underpinned by incredible levels of staff retention.

As Account Manager, you'll have at your disposal a brilliant mix of long serving employees, who offer fantastic insight and knowledge on the business, as well as a good injection of new talent who bring new fresh ideas. Their working ethos is flexible, too, so an end trturous hours spent in traffic, and you'll find yourself working with the same quality of clients and campaigns you see in London or any other big city, but still strike a good work life balance.

The role:

Many of their clients have been with them for over a decade, some for close to 20 years and this list includes major global names from as far away as the US & & Australia, alongside some smaller companies, close by. You'll be involved in an array of creative projects which might be to support a product launch, enter a new category or navigate major business changes such as rebrands, new brands or acquisitions.

The sweet bit is that they take an agnostic approach rooted in creativity amd insight to select what's best for the job in hand, so you may find yourself involved in the research amd planning stages through to execution of highly creative campaigns. Opinions are encouraged regardless of your role; people are given the freedom to do their best work and support for training is open to all. You'll also be keen to debate the strategic direction of any brief, understanding the wider objectives of the brief and suggest alternative routes that may not have considered.

They're also having an incredible year - hard to imagine in the current circumstances but having won several pieces of cross-agency business, they're in an excellent situation moving forward. They value analytical and creative thinking and recognise that an agency is a partner that adds value, not a production supplier that represents a cost saving. They want a long-term relationship, rather than chopping and changing to constantly drive down costs.

Clients are exclusively B2B, and the work is incredibly creative, and cover more specifically the built environment, construction, utilities, and engineering sectors, all of which are credible names in their respective industries.

What we're looking for:

We're looking for someone with previous experience within a B2B marketing role, client-side or agency, who can demonstrate a passion for business-to-business work and has the savvy & confidence to be able to debate strategy with clients and to provide new and innovative ideas.

Everyone has input into their internal processes and systems, and they like you to have opinions and they want to hear them. They believe the team should know about the company's performance and go through quarterly updates with all team members. But best of all, you'll be encouraged to treat worktime flexibly & they'll give you the training and guidance to do that effectively.

They'll support you to do your job the best you possibly can and they want to constantly develop your skills and extend your potential. Professional development is an annual KPI for all their people, and you'll receive a personal budget to spend on training to develop your skills. Throughout the year, they also run general training courses open to clients and staff, and just want to ensure, you enjoy your role.

What's on offer?

Salary ranges from £30 - £42,000, plus a supportive and collaborative culture, which is underpinned by an incredible level of staff retention - you'll also benefit from a great pension scheme, flexible working, 25 days holiday & they close for Xmas every year, and if the company does well, which it has for the past 5 years, so will you.

They don't come much better & if B2B is your jam, you love working on some mega creative campaigns, you'll be hard pushed to find a better opportunity.
