About the Role

Are you interested in working on 3 different brands covering both market leaders and challenger brands in the dynamic and exciting sports nutrition, sports fashion and weight management categories?

This is a unique opportunity to work on 2 of our latest account wins: the globally recognisable sports fashion brand poised to rival the likes of Nike and Adidas, Under Armour; and Glanbia, the parent company to the globally leading sports nutrition brand, Optimum Nutrition, as well a leading player in the UK weight management category, SlimFast. If that sounds interesting to you, get in touch!

We are adding to existing client teams, both of which played a key role in the pitch wins and have years of experience working with one another. You will join as part of this highly motivated and capable team to help them deliver all the great work they promised in the pitches, to the new clients.

As part of this, we are looking for a dynamic Senior Client Account Executive to join us working across client account management and comms planning. The role will be fast paced and agile, and you will be instrumental in how this team functions.

To add to that, you will be as comfortable servicing clients as rolling your sleeves up and jumping into responding to a client media briefing, helping to generate comms planning responses across both the Under Armour and Glanbia brands.

Integration with the wider client and specialist teams will be fundamental to ensure all campaigns deliver to client objectives and are planned, implemented and reported upon. These elements are paramount in ensuring we deliver great work to our clients and the high standards of the agency are upheld.

You will support the day-to-day running of this account and will be surrounded by a full team: both accounts will be led by a Business Director with Account Directors, Account Managers and an Account Exec. Additionally, there will be Planning Director support on client responses.

About you

• Be able to understand and take responsibility for managing day to day finances on individual clients liaising with finance teams.

• Without question your attention to detail is sound, and you are a conscientious worker, who is as confident in front of clients as the wider agency.
• Ultimately this role needs someone who is enthusiastic, proactive and who strives to deliver best in class work.
