Senior Account Manager/Account Director

Are you passionate about project management, client service and working in the creative industry? Do you thrive in a fast-paced agency environment where no two days are the same? If so, we’d love to hear from you!
We’re on the lookout for a Senior Account Manager ready to step up to Account Director to join our dynamic and growing agency and play a key role in shaping and executing projects across a range of blue chip clients.

Let us introduce ourselves

We’re Apparent, a full-service, independent agency made up of over 180 thinkers, creators, and solution-makers doing what we do best. One thing you should know about us: we’ve got an entrepreneurial spirit, and we know the work worth doing doesn’t fit into neat, tidy boxes. And neither should you, for that matter.
We punch well above our weight, with some of the biggest clients in the world on our roster, from global tech giants like Google and IBM, to startups just beginning their journeys. Our approach? We call it the red thread. In other words, it’s the thing that connects everything we do, from the customer, through to the client and brand.
On any given day you can expect to cross paths with someone in strategy, creative, content production, UX/UI, technology, and experience.

A few things you’ll like about working here:
• A flexible and hybrid working policy
• Generous parental leave and extra summer days off
• Plenty of growth and training opportunities
• 24/7 access to our employee assistance program for you and your family

About the Role:
We are looking for a Senior Account Manager who is ready to step up to Account Director with an understanding of B2B marketing. You’ll be leading integrated campaigns across digital, video, social, content, events and OOH, reporting to a Group Account Director.

The day to day looks like:
• Own the day-to-day client relationship for Optus and some of our other clients — interrogating briefs, earning client trust as a proactive, solutions-oriented partner, whilst being part of a strong team.
• Form strong relationships with strategists, creative teams and producers to develop and deliver brilliant strategic and creative outputs.
• Manage projects from end-to-end. A strong understanding of prioritising tasks, managing budgets and timelines to ensure that everything stays on track.
• Build up knowledge in the B2B space and use these insights and key client project learnings to inform proactive client work.
• Have a good understanding of how smaller projects fit into a bigger picture and are able to identify and raise new opportunities for growth across key clients.

You will need to:
• Be an experienced Senior Account Manager with a minimum of 4-6 years’ creative agency experience, ideally from a digital or integrated background.
• Exhibiting strong project management skills, a solid marketing background, and a creative mindset, with experience in B2B communications would be great but not 100% essential.
• Excel in communication, both written and verbal, and are confident in presenting to clients.
• Have a track record in developing strong relationships both internally with your team and with clients.
• Be happy working from our office from Tuesday through to Thursday
Hold a relevant Bachelor’s degree and have a passion for continuous learning and growth.
