Role: Senior Account Manager

About the role:

The Senior Account Manager is the bridge between Client's marketing teams and the studio — the client's voice inside the building, and the studio's voice to the client. Reporting to the Creative Director and the Global Account Director, you'll work alongside client and creative teams alike to build the processes, relationships, and workflows that allow the full studio capability to operate at maximum efficiency.

This is a newly created role with real influence and real accountability. You'll define what excellent client service looks like on this account, own the brief pipeline from intake to allocation, and partner with the Project Manager to keep work flowing seamlessly across teams. This is initially an individual contributor role, with the expectation of growing a client services team as the studio scales.

What you will be doing:

Establish and lead a new client services layer for the team, becoming the single point of escalation and insight for Client's marketing teams and the wider studio function.

Act as the client's voice within the studio and the studio's voice to the client, building trusted, commercially grounded relationships with senior stakeholders on both sides.

Serve as a strategic and commercial partner to the Creative Director, owning the client relationship infrastructure and enabling the Creative Director to focus fully on creative leadership.

Proactively identify and pursue growth opportunities, spotting unmet needs or emerging use cases and translating them into expanded scope for the studio.

Own the central triage of all incoming briefs, interrogating each brief, identifying gaps, sourcing additional information from marketing and briefing teams, and ensuring work is assigned to the right skillset.

Work closely with the Project Manager to design, implement, and continuously improve processes that support brief flow, team utilisation, and on‑time delivery.

Enable knowledge sharing and collaboration across teams, maximising the full studio's capabilities and ensuring seamless handoffs when work moves between specialisms.

Build and maintain a clear picture of studio workload, capacity, and pipeline, surfacing risks proactively and escalating where needed to the Global Account Director.

Establish regular reporting rhythms that give Client's marketing teams and studio leadership clear visibility of progress, performance, and priorities.

Lead process excellence across the account, identifying inefficiencies, proposing practical solutions, and embedding ways of working that scale as the studio grows.

Facilitate the seamless flow of work, ensuring maximum efficiency across the full team's capabilities and avoiding duplication or dropped handoffs.

Track and report on scope, flagging changes that affect commercial agreements and working with the Global Account Director to manage scope conversations with the client.

What you need to be great in this role:

Expertise and Capabilities

Strong track record in account management within a creative agency, in‑house studio, or content production…
