Senior Account Executive / Account Manager - rapidly growing digital & social strategy consultancy

My client is a digital and social strategy consultancy which helps brands use data and behavioural modelling to develop strategies for, and drive more purposeful interactions with, the people who matter. It is looking for a digitally savvy Senior Account Executive or Account Manager.

The agency has positioned itself between existing disciplines, bridging the worlds of media buying (and its associated hardcore data skills) and the relationship management pragmatism of the comms world. Its focus is on building meaningful digital connections and anyone joining them needs to have a passion for, and belief in the future of, social media. As that's where people build those connections.

The work tends to start by focusing on human behaviours, then applying data and psychology understandings. In this way they are positioning themselves between hard market segmentation techniques, and the more 'touchy feely' emotional side.

All of this means they are very open to the types of background prospective employees might have. It could be market research and data, it could be closer to a PR / publicist, or pure consultants focused on what drives best outcomes.

As such they want someone who meets the following criteria:
- Proven social media expertise
- Excellent client management skills
- Someone who can manage day to day client experience
- Someone who they can trust to look after a project and see it through to the end
- Upwardly mobile people with an ambition to progress and a willingness to have ideas and put them forward. It's a fast paced but relaxed, friendly, lively and social environment
