Role: Senior Account Director (FTC - 6 months)

Location:Canary Wharf, England, United Kingdom (Hybrid; x2 days a week)

ROLE MISSION

Working in partnership with our client, the Senior Account Director will have both the account handling skills and the project management skills to be able to build strong client relationships with key stakeholders and drive projects through to completion with the help of your brilliant and talented colleagues.  You will enjoy being a key link between clients and the OLIVER team, getting to know their business, understanding their needs and collaborating with them to deliver top quality projects that run on time and on budget. You will relish owning your project scopes, budgets and timelines and working with our resourcing team to plan projects and schedule resources. 

THIS ROLE IS RIGHT FOR YOU IF...

• You’re confident, smart, enthusiastic and proactive:  a collaborative self-starter who thrives on variety, pace and working as part of a large team as well as a quick thinker who can add value throughout the end-to-end creative process and keep projects moving. Working closely with clients, you’ll be managing and nurturing client relationships and interrogating their briefs to add value and establish full clarity as well as making sure they are delivered impeccably.  
• You’ll be working closely with senior members in the OLIVER team, aligning closely with key internal stakeholders to help deliver on our overall scope.  
• You’ll come from a Creative and Production agency background and have experience of managing multiple projects across print, digital, social and video.  Experience of Financial Services would be useful, but not crucial. But you’ll definitely have experience of working on large scale accounts in a regulated industry, such as utilities or telecoms, ideally with some B2B marketing skills.    

It goes without saying that you’ll have meticulous attention to detail, known as a safe pair of hands who will ensure nothing falls through the cracks on projects or the day-to-day management of the account.

ABOUT THE TEAM YOU WILL BE JOINING

You’ll be working within our Client service and delivery team taking responsibility for the work requested by a number of our client’s Business units. You’ll work closely with Group Account Directors and the Managing Partner, focusing on our B2B clients and working with an established and respected client team who really know their stuff. You’ll be collaborative and happy to share best practices to the wider team. 

WHAT SKILLS WILL HELP YOU BE SUCCESSFUL 

• We’re looking for someone who is spirited with the experience and confidence to lead your projects with client stakeholders – and their own stakeholders. You’ll have the confidence, personality and persuasion skills to hold your own and push for what’s right. 
• We’ll want you to build great client relationships, quickly and confidently – you’ll be the main day to day point of contact for day-to-day clients within your business units and they will look to you to make their lives and projects as straightforward as possible  
• You’ll be a strong and positive energy in our team; someone who will work collaboratively with everyone who’ll support them in delivering projects.  Working across multiple projects at any given time, you’ll have strong juggling and prioritisation skills. 
• You’ll be financially aware and able to correctly estimate budgets and ensure that you have all the data and assets your team needs in order to deliver to or exceed client expectations.
