Account Manager

Our mission is to unleash the power of first‑party data to craft personalised brand experiences that customers love, driving exceptional results for our clients.

As a fast‑paced and innovative agency, we challenge ourselves and our clients to think big. If you're ready to make an impact and grow with a dynamic team, we want to hear from you.

We’re looking for a proactive and detail‑oriented Account Manager to support our Account Director in managing and growing key client relationships. You’ll be responsible for turning briefs into delivery‑ready requirements, ensuring projects are well‑scoped, performance is well reported, and, of course, that clients are well looked after.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a collaborative environment and has experience in digital delivery in an agency environment that could be as junior project manager or junior client relationship role. We will provide training for your responsibilities.
