(Senior) Account Manager - B2B Marketing Agency

Milton Keynes

NP695 - £35k - £45k

This excellent B2B marketing agency is really going through a purple patch currently, despite this uncertain market. Over the last 4 months they've seen a massively increased spend from their, already, largest client.

Since 2001 these guys have serviced global technology clients and generated countless inbound leads for them via: extensive lead/demand generation campaigns, partner engagement, channel marketing, creative concepts and social media campaigns.

Due to this influx of work, they're looking for a Senior Account Manager with experience of working both the B2B world, but also in digital marketing agencies. The level of the role would require you to grow and nurture client relationships, with multiple stakeholders within your client, scope out opportunities to grow the account, brief internal creative teams, and manage a small team.

This is a great change to take that next step in your career, as an Account Manager stepping into a role with more responsibility, or as a Senior Account Manager looking for an agency that's really going places.

The salary bracket on offer is wide, from £35k - £45k, as well as offering 25 days' holiday and various other perks. Despite working from home in this current climate, when the situation plays out, you'll still need to be a commutable distance from their Milton Keynes office.

Despite this turbulent time, this fascinating branding & packaging agency are still surging forward. They are looking for an Account Director to be the account lead for a global FMCG/drinks brand, could this be you?

The agency

Founded nearly 20 years ago by 3 folk who went to university together, they set about to challenge the norm and break down the stigma of regional creative agencies not comparing to their London competition. They've won countless awards in their field - branding & packaging in the FMCG space (plus some corporate branding too) and have an incredible reputation in the industry.

The role

There are 3 main components to the role - Being the Account Lead, Business Development and being a Team Mentor.

As an Account Lead, you'd be in regular communications with various stakeholders within the client, discussing the brand strategy, taking briefs, and offering insight on how to best approach business issues.

Business Development speaks for itself. Alongside growing existing areas of the client account, you'd be tasked with scoping out other revenue streams that you believe the agency could offer value in.

Team Mentorship is hugely important, especially in these surreal times. Arranging conference calls, virtual team meetings and digital brainstorming sessions to really get the most out of your team. Encouraging them, allowing them to flourish, educating them on how to put their best foot forward.

About you

Given the nature of the agency, it's essential you've had experience working in the creative/branding/packaging space, and also with FMCG brands. You'll have proven experience at building and nurturing client relationships, being an astute strategist/planner, and having managed teams previously.

What's in it for you?

• Generous personal development budget to spend as you wish
• Regular inspiration workshops and tickets to creative seminars
• Competitive salary with annual pay reviews
• Flexible working options
• Bonus of up to 10% of salary
• Enhanced maternity and paternity package
• Life Assurance
• Private Healthcare
• 23 days holiday (which increases with length of service up to a maximum of 30 days), plus bank holidays, your birthday off, and a Christmas shut down period

Interviews will be conducted both over the phone, with a form of brief to be presented via video link for 2^nd stage. Working remotely to begin with is essential, but as time goes on, you'll be expected to be in a commutable distance from their Bristol office. If this is a bit of you, then please do send over your CV for review.
