Account Manager

JOB DESCRIPTION

London
From £28-40,000 depending on experience
Plus profit share up to £5,000 a year
Full time

We are an employee-owned communications consultancy.

Most of our clients operate in regulated industries – like pensions, investments and life insurance. We help them use language and insight to make their products easier to understand and access. We’re looking for a new account manager to help grow our business and bring fresh ideas and capabilities to our team.

What you’ll do

You’ll build strong relationships with prospects and clients, getting under the skin of their problems and helping to design projects that solve them. And you’ll work closely with the creative team to deliver great work. You’ll also:

Create and manage project schedules, making sure work comes in on time and on budget
Keep in close contact with clients and manage their expectations
Price your projects and make sure they’re commercially successful
Represent the company at industry events and grow your network if you want to

We’ve embraced hybrid working, so you can work at home or our office. We’re in the process of looking for a new office space, but we do know it will be near Farringdon. You’re free to come in every day if that suits you. We get together for one team day every month and hold meetings in person when our clients are up for it or our work will benefit from it.

Who you are

Our people come from all kinds of backgrounds. You don’t have to have worked in financial services before, but you’ll probably have at least a couple of years’ experience in an agency or consultancy environment. We look for people who:

Are methodical, organised and accurate
Write well, with a feel for language and an eye for typos
Are curious, quick to learn and enjoy building their knowledge
Can hold their own when they’re challenged by clients

What we offer

We are owned by an employee ownership trust, which means it’s run for the benefit of the people who work here. We’ve got ambitious plans for the future and we’re investing heavily in learning and development. This means you could carve out a niche of your own,
in anything from new business to video projects. You could well find yourself studying for professional qualifications. You’ll also get:

Matched pension contributions of up to 6% once you’ve been with us for 6 months

25 days’ holiday in your first year, plus bank holidays and Christmas closure. This rises to 27 days after 5 years’ service.
Employee assistance programme, for you and your family
Regular team socials
