What we're looking for?
We’re on the lookout for a proactive, ambitious and motivated team player, with unrivalled client service skills and a passion for digital technology, to join our team of digital account managers.
Share this role:
What you'll be doing
As a member of our client service team, you’ll be working with and alongside your client service team mates, as well as directly with sales, development and design colleagues, to support and build relationships with, and to help deliver a variety of digital projects for, a wide range of clients: from web applications, ecommerce and CMS-driven sites, to system integrations and mobile apps.
As a middleweight account manager, your work will be critical to forging long-term relationships with our clients. You'll use your client, commercial and digital knowledge to identify and present opportunities and establish us as their trusted partners who understand them, and understand how digital can help them. You'll also take the lead in managing the specification, development and implementation of large-scale client projects.
We’ll expect you all the while to stay on the ball when it comes to best practice, evolving industry trends, standards and technologies, commercial and client knowledge. And, of course, we'll want you to share your knowledge with your fellow team members – in return for which, you can expect to learn plenty from them.
What we need from you
We’re looking for someone who’ll fit right in with what we do and how we do it here at Element78.
As a middleweight account manager, that means you’ll need to be:
- A bright spark: bringing enthusiasm, drive and positivity to everything you do, actively seeking opportunities to push yourself, learn along the way, and share your learning with others.
- An outstanding communicator: using the right medium, in the right way, every time, and listening carefully and thoughtfully to others, to communicate clearly and professionally in ways that will really engage your clients and your colleagues.
- A problem-solver: proactively using your logical and lateral thinking to understand your clients’ needs, identify their problems and come up with dazzling digital solutions.
- Organised: expertly managing your time and balancing a varied and ever-changing workload to ensure that deadlines and expectations are consistently met or exceeded.
- A little bit obsessive: honing in on, and caring about, every little detail, to ensure the work you present to clients is consistently brilliant.
- Flexible: embracing change by proactively adapting what you do, how you do it and how you work with others.
- Great to work with: a team player who communicates with honesty and respect, stays calm under pressure, takes responsibility for their work and knows how to have fun!
As far as your current skills and experience go, this is what we’re looking for:
You'll need solid experience in an account management role, and a history of working to and meeting sales targets, as well as experience of working in the digital industry and of managing and delivering digital projects.
Ideally, we’d like you to be qualified to degree level, or equivalent: but what we most want is someone with a proven flair for great client service, a passion for digital technology and with the kind of client service skills that your significant account management experience will have given you.
