This is a fantastic opportunity for a strong Senior Account Manager, who is passionate about brand & communications, to join our team and work on one of the agency's most prestigious, long-standing, and award-winning clients. Working across both the UK and Global accounts, you will be a core part of a cross-functional team delivering fame-driving, brand-building work to be proud of.

Working closely with the Senior Account Director and Business Director, you will be responsible for running the key day-to-day relationships, leading and owning projects to guide their development. This is a highly strategic and creative account, and while it has a strong ATL remit, you will be expected to develop your integrated capability to help pursue new opportunities as they arise. This is a brilliant role for someone looking to make an impact on a global flagship account within a world-class agency.

What you will be doing

• Act as one of the main client points of contact for UK and Global campaigns, building strong and trusted relationships.
• Work closely with key clients to understand and interpret their briefs, challenging the ask when necessary to ensure VML always delivers the best strategic and creative solution.
• Write and contribute to inspiring briefs, interpreting information and developing insights to assist in the planning and creative process.
• In partnership with your Project Manager, you will be responsible for managing projects through the agency, ensuring the final output is of the highest quality and delivered on time.
• Confidently present creative work to clients, taking and challenging feedback when necessary to protect the integrity of the work.
• Work closely with the finance team to ensure projects are delivered within budget, and support with end-of-month invoicing and forecasting.
• Become a lynchpin for the client, ensuring we deliver the best solutions to their business problems by championing the work both internally and externally.

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience as a Senior Account Manager within a creative agency, ideally with a background in brand communications.
• Experience working on large, complex accounts, and comfort in managing multiple senior stakeholders and workstreams.
• A track record of developing strong, effective creative campaigns for major brands.
• Experience in financial services or other highly regulated sectors is highly advantageous.
• Adept at building relationships, unearthing client challenges, and gaining the respect and trust of both clients and internal teams.
• Strong commercial and financial acumen, with experience managing project profitability and budgets.
• An exceptional communicator and presenter, comfortable guiding clients and internal teams.
• A solutions-focused and resilient attitude, with the ability to keep a cool head when challenges arise.
• A highly diligent and organised individual with impeccable attention to detail.
