The PITCH.

As an Account Executive you will help support the wider team in the daily management and relationship building between the client and the agency. You are responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the account for the agency, developing effective working relationships with key client contacts. This is not a role for someone who likes to take a back seat in life as you will be at the front of this account getting involved with solving problems, pushing best practice, attending meetings, drafting internal and external comms and keeping a track of the progress of all projects across the agency.

We are incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved over the past year as a team, and are looking for a creatively brave Account Executive to help support the team on this exciting client.

Here’s where you come in…

• Supporting the account team in the development and preparation of presentations, performance reviews and reports for the clients.
• A brand guardian - helping to keep the team updated re what’s going on in your clients world, knowing their competitors and keeping your teams up to speed on the latest trends and developments in their sectors.
• Supporting the execution of projects, working closely with your account manager and project director to ensure the team are clear on the tasks at hand, and that client feedback has been addressed and implemented when relevant.
• Helping to proof all work before it goes out, spotting mistakes and flagging to relevant team members any amends that need to be addressed.
• Working closely with your project manager to ensure that all projects are running to plan, owning all internal and external status reports. Being able to communicate in advance to your clients should timelines need to change.
• Taking accurate notes in meetings and circulate in a timely manner to clients with clear actions and next steps outlined.
• Working closely with your Account Manager to make sure all billing and finances are up to date, assisting your project manager on estimating for smaller projects.
• Spot platform opportunities to optimise the work we are doing, feeding in trends to the wider team.
• Collaborating with the wider team across other departments (Strategy, Creative, Production, Project Management, Analytics/Insights, Media) to improve and execute on client deliverables and processes.
• The account cheerleader - Evangelising the work you are doing across the agency, keeping everyone informed and excited about the great work the team are doing, driving relevant recognition, PR, awards etc
• Keep VaynerMedia values at the core of what you do, that restless energy and desire push boundaries and to do more, but also the ability to muck in with the team.
• Grow relationships, have fun and participate in VaynerMedia social engagement.

We treasure Personality and Experience yet we do know that these qualifications lead to what WE KNOW as a success:

• A passion and real love for all things social, with an understanding of relevant social media platforms and their requirements.
• A passion for fashion, beauty and all things retail.

What you SHOULD KNOW about VaynerMedia

Think “lab” and not “agency”. We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. We’re willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft. It’s fun!

We believe 100% that brands can be built on digital platforms and part of our model is built bottom up, flipping the traditional advertising model and process on its head. We don’t play to agency/industry norms and our culture and energy reflects that.

Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies you might be used to. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with the talented and enthusiastic crew, work with big brands excites you, as it does us. We can’t wait to meet you.
