Account Manager

Length: Permanent position following probationary period

Location: Cardiff

Hours: 39.5

We’re looking for an ambitious, organised and fearlessly creative Account Manager to join our passionate and collaborative team in Cardiff.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about purpose-led work and who wants to make positive social change through inclusive communications, giving a voice to causes and communities, and connecting with audiences to ensure everyone feels represented, valued and empowered.

The successful candidate will work with a mixture of big brands and behaviour change clients, such as Admiral, Creative Wales, My Health Checked , Popeyes and Welsh Government amongst many others. You’ll run effective and inclusive campaigns and programmes that make a difference.

Are you a hands-on team player with big ideas, creativity and enthusiasm? Are you a highly skilled communicator and meticulous project planner? Are you tenaciously results-driven? Do you want to be part of an expanding team with boundless opportunities to grow and progress?

Our ideal candidate will have 3+ years agency experience. You’ll be creative and highly organised, with experience of leading integrated campaigns underpinned by creative and intelligent communications.

You’ll have an excellent background in securing top tier media coverage for your clients and you’ll spot regular opportunities to react to what’s going on in the news. We’re also looking for someone who knows their way around social media and who is actively curious in what brands are up to. And someone who loves building long lasting relationships with clients and becoming an extension of their team.

But most of all, you’ll care about doing really great work and being part of an even greater team.

As an Account Manager at Folk, you’ll be the linchpin of the team responsible for planning, creating and delivering creative campaigns and programmes. You’ll show excellent confidence in writing copy, such as press releases and other content and be at your happiest building relationships, whether with clients or the media.

You’ll get weirdly excited about preparing and delivering on a perfectly organised plan and have perfected the ‘gentle nudge’ to clients and colleagues when you need something done on time. You’ll get a buzz when you see your client’s story in the headlines or when you and your team get the results you said you would. You’ll work closely with your colleagues and be prepared to lend a hand when they need it.

You’ll be an enthusiastic mentor to junior team members and inspire and support them as they grow. You’ll care about your own professional development, too.

Want to explore an area outside of your day-to-day role and skillset? Paid social? Strategy? Budgeting? We’ll teach you!
