Account Manager - #189426

Job Description

Right now, we’re looking for an Account Manager with a passion for stand-out creative and delivering through-the-line integrated campaigns.

Who we are.

We are McCann Central, the UK’s largest integrated agency. Over 500 individuals working together to help brands play a meaningful role in people’s lives.

We are also part of McCann Worldgroup, a global agency network that delivers culture-shaping work for some of the world’s biggest brands.

And to add to the (literal) wheelbarrow full of awards we’ve got including Euro Effies most effective global agency, Cannes Network of the Year, Campaign’s European Integrated Agency of the Year, not to mention McCann Central’s haul of awards in recent years at Cannes Lions, Clios, One Show, D&AD, LIAs, Golden Drum & Creative Circle Awards. So creativity really is at the forefront of everything we do.

We’re a team of passionate creatives, strategists and marketers from a wide mix of backgrounds. But there’s a lot that unites us – like caring deeply about everything we make. And though our skillsets are wide and our process knowledge is deep, we are all still learning every day.

What we're looking for.

Right now, we are looking for a talented Account Manager to join our team. As a key member of our client services team, you’ll work collaboratively with our creatives and strategists to create fully integrated marketing campaigns for major international brands.

An experienced Account Manager, we’ll need you to have a marketing / advertising agency background, but, most importantly, it’s your can-do attitude and approach we’re interested in.

Beyond this, you’ll be a force to be reckoned with when it comes to getting the job done, across on and offline channels, from initial concept to execution. You’re great at managing multiple projects under pressure, getting the team organised and ensuring everything is running smoothly.

Our approach.

Strategically-led, integrated all-over-it-ness. Brought to life with game changing creative. We put our client services team at the heart of the agency, drawing on specialisms across all channels.

Requirements

• Detail: you’re all over it, all of the time.
• Great under pressure
• Agency background essential
• Integrated marketing experience, ideally with experience delivering campaigns for multiple international markets
• Problem solver who can think on their feet and seek out new opportunities for the business and the clients
• A future leader. We’re looking for ambitious people who want to grow and progress (personally & professionally)
• A curious mindset
• A collaborative, team oriented approach
• A self-starter who enjoys taking ownership and seen a campaign from start to finish
• EQ is as important as IQ – you must have the empathy and enough experience to develop junior talent
• Trusted pair of hands that will get the job done

Benefits

In addition to a competitive salary we are committed to creating a brilliant environment for all our people. This includes benefits such as 28 days holiday, plus the opportunity to buy more holiday, enhanced pension contributions, life assurance and much more.

A culture of learning and development is also central to our ethos, so you’ll have access to industry leading training and development programmes, plus you’ll get to work closely with the world’s biggest media partners to access exclusive features and products.

Most importantly, you’ll be part of a fun and collaborative team and you’ll work in an environment where you are supported, pushed and developed.

All-in-all, this is an opportunity not to be missed for anyone serious about pushing their career to the next level.

OUR COMMITMENT TO EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

For us, diversity is a business imperative – one that must be embedded into every aspect of how we operate in order to drive success. Simply put, we believe an encouraging and inclusive environment makes sound business sense.

As a globally integrated community that influences and shapes culture, it’s vital that the talent mix in our agencies encompass all dimensions of diversity, and that we demand the same of the people we work with.

Conscious inclusion encompasses social, cultural and cognitive differences and cultivates an ethos of belonging, connection and shared purpose. It is the integration of this philosophy that allows us to create meaningful experiences for our employees, drive better business practices with our vendors and clients, and ultimately lead with purpose.

McCann is a disability confident committed employer and will guarantee an interview to any disabled candidate who meets the minimum criteria for this role, so please do let us know when you apply, via your cover letter, if you are eligible, along with any adjustments you may need to the recruitment process to enable you to perform at your best.
