Marketing Account Manager

Don't just sit and stay stagnant in your career. Join an agency that invests in your career development, supports your professional progress, and has a working culture that retained 86% of employees in 2023 (compared to industry average of 70%).

Due to exciting growth we're hiring across the agency. In our Client Services team, that means we're looking to bring onboard not one, but two new Account Managers.

This pivotal role is responsible for delivering effective marketing strategy and campaigns to our clients, helping them tell their brand stories and thrive.

But your work isn't limited to project deliverables, you'll have visibility and input into overall account planning and people management as well.

So while you may be joining as an Account Manager, who knows what you'll be achieving by the time you leave.
