We are looking for an experienced Account Manager to join our Coastal agency's team, to be based in Johannesburg working remotely reporting to H.O. - working from the Johannesburg offices of their client.
Our client is a long-standing mid-sized creative solutions agency. with B2B clients across the 3 major metros. However, the position we are looking to fill will be based in Johannesburg.
With a balance of BTL, traditional ATL, and digital experience they are a group of seasoned creatives who apply their varied skillsets to strategically building brands and creating ‘work that works' - spanning TVCs to digital campaigns to in-store solutions.
They have adopted a hybrid working arrangement that recognises the need for connection but also deep time away from the business of the office, and are flexible depending on the type of work and dynamics of each week.
Everyone across the team gets stuck in so they always deliver what they promise, and have built lasting relationships through their can-do attitude. They manage the workflows with Deltek WorkBook so everything is well organised and tracked.
The role
You would be a key player in their client service team, primarily working a prestigious ICT business with a head office in Jhb and 60 franchises across the region.
