Account Executive

The role

We are looking to hire an ambitious Account Executive to work across a range of entertainment clients. You’re tapped into culture, you’re a social native, and as an Account Executive you’re in the sweet spot between managing the client relationship and making it happen. Your role isn’t just focused on great client service – you’re also a gun at project management, you know how to handle stakeholders, and you’re the sort of person who loves the detail – all the way to delivering on brief and on time. You will be keen to learn how to hold your own in client conversations, and be able to foster productive day to day relationships.

Overall Purpose role

• You have excellent attention to detail.
• You are a team player and work well with others.
• You take direction, but can also work autonomously.
• You display excellent project management skills.
• You have a can-do attitude and approach all tasks with blind optimism.
• You are a master at delivering results and enjoy wrangling people to deliver.
• You deliver timely reports that translate social data into actionable creative insights.
• You have the ability to manage many projects simultaneously.
• You build trusting and productive relationships with your colleagues and clients alike.
• You are eager to learn and are provocative about your own development.

Specific Content of your Role

The nature of We Are Social’s business requires a high level of flexibility, common sense and versatility. While the specific content of your role is clearly defined, the nature of the demands placed on us and the creativity of our campaigns means that the role will evolve over time and needs a ‘can do’ approach to picking projects up and making them happen. We expect you to show confidence and competence in some key areas.

Skills required

• Min 1-2 years social media experience
• Agency experience
• Thirst for knowledge
• Gun project manager
• Proactivity, quick thinking and problem solving skills
• Strong communication skills
• Experience building strong and trusted client relationships.
