We are looking to hire a Senior Account Manager to work on one of our biggest B2B clients.

The opportunity represents a lot of what’s great about advertising, but inherently it means that we’re looking for a very specific type of person. Someone who loves a challenge, is eager to learn and thrives in a fast paced and dynamic environment. This is a full-time permanent role, and the annual remuneration for this role is between $83,000 -  $85,000 inclusive of Superannuation

“It’s an account where the intangibles really shine. If you’re a stickler for problem solving and love teamwork this is the position for you. It is definitely a milestone role in your career.” - Ali Spillane (Account Director)

The Senior Account Manager is a highly motivated self-starter who can lead, but can also throw themselves into any project and do what needs to get done. The role requires an ownership mindset and a strong sense of responsibility across any task small or large.

As social is our bread and butter, ideally you have previous experience within a social media agency. Experience with influencer marketing is also a plus! It’s important that the individual is comfortable expressing themselves in a team dynamic and able to share their passions and interests while being open and accepting of everyone else’s. We spend a lot of time together, so knowing what makes you tick is BIG for us.
