• Contribute alongside the Senior Account Manager and Head of Client Services to the creation and development of client growth plans (KAP) to identify up-sell/cross-sell opportunities and secure between 10 – 15% of the department’s overall target, ensuring that all new opportunities are within operational guidelines.
• Contribute to the accurate forecasting of client retained, churned, and up-sold revenue.
• Maintain accurate client records and contact details.
• Continuously improve your own knowledge to gain a balanced understanding of key developments within digital marketing.
• Coordinate and collaborate with peers working on the same accounts and projects to ensure consistent service, deadlines are met, and client’s expectations are exceeded.

• 2-3 years experience ideally within a fast-paced account management role.
• Confident in communication across the board and not afraid to pick up the phone to clients if the going gets tough.
• Be confident managing a diverse workload and meeting tight deadlines.
• Have an analytical mindset and be good at solving problems.
• A good understanding of digital marketing.
• Be enthusiastic, willing to learn and keen to share ideas with both colleagues and clients.
