Senior Account Manager (In a highly creative agency)

New Today

About the Role We’re looking for a Senior Account Manager to join a fast-growing, independent creative agency built around one simple belief — great ideas, executed brilliantly, driving real business impact. This isn’t a process-heavy, layered agency environment. It’s lean, collaborative and ideas-first, where the people doing the work are the people talking to clients, and where momentum matters. You’ll play a key role in delivering integrated, campaign-led work connecting the dots across channels and ensuring everything lands with clarity and impact. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys the bigger picture — campaigns, strategy and how everything fits together — but is equally comfortable getting stuck in and making things happen. Ideally you’ll have experience working with TV/AV, radio, VOD, photography and OOH. Or at least most of these and understand adaptation, delivery and versioning.
