Job description
Senior Account Manager | The Next Step in Your Career
Location: London (Hybrid: 3 days in-office)
Salary: £48,000 – £50,000 + Annual Bonus + Elite Benefits
The Opportunity: From Manager to Strategic Leader
Are you a high-performing Account Manager or Client Services Manager hitting the ceiling in your current role? Do you have the tactical skills down, but crave the autonomy to lead global portfolios and shape the commercial future of an agency?
Our client, a multi-award-winning creative experiential agency looking for our next Senior Account Manager. This isn't just a title change; it’s a career-defining move. Specialising in long-term legacy—their Board Members joined as Interns, and they are looking for a future leader who wants to grow with them.
Who You Are: The Ready-to-Leap Professional
Our client aren't looking for someone who has "coasted" at the senior level for years. They want the high-achiever who is ready to prove they belong at the top table. You should bring:
- The "Step-Up" Mindset: You are likely a mid-to-senior AM or CSM with a proven track record of managing high-value revenue (£500k+) and are ready for full strategic ownership.
- Natural Gravitas: You have the presence and communication style to command a room, whether it’s a boardroom of tech giants or a high-pressure production floor.
- People Leadership: You’ve already cut your teeth on people management. You know how to mentor, delegate, and get the best out of a team.
- The Negotiator: You can point to specific moments where you’ve navigated "the difficult conversation"—whether it’s defending a budget, managing a scope-creep, or resolving a high-stakes client conflict with diplomacy.
- Commercial Hunger: You don't just "take briefs"; you find opportunities. You understand how to turn a single project into a multi-year global partnership.
The Role: Your New Responsibilities
- Strategic Growth: Own the roadmap for a world-class portfolio (Tech & Finance). You’ll move beyond execution to become a trusted advisor to global change-makers.
- Commercial Mastery: Take full accountability for project profitability and revenue growth within your accounts.
- Team Mentorship: Act as a bridge between the vision and the delivery, managing junior staff and cross-functional teams with clarity and empathy.
- High-Stakes Delivery: Oversee the design and execution of complex live and digital events, ensuring KPIs are met with surgical precision.
Why This is the Right Move
- No Glass Ceiling: We hire for attitude and promote for excellence. Your path to Director level starts here.
- Direct Access: Work closely with agency leadership and global brands (Tech/Finance).
- Culture & Balance: A dog-friendly, central London hub with an in-office gym, private health insurance, and a strict 3-day hybrid split for true work-life harmony.
"Our client dont just want a safe pair of hands; they want someone with the drive to build something bigger."
Is This You?
If you’re an AM or CSM who is tired of waiting for a "Senior" slot to open up and you have the commercial wins to back it up, we want to hear from you.
