Account Manager

Bursty is on the lookout for a cracking Account Manager to join our growing team!

Fresh off a hugely successful Nedd's Uncomfortable Challenge Campaign and winning best sports creative campaign in Asia Pacific for our work with PUMA, we are looking to bring a fresh face (and energy!) into our team in our new Melbourne office.

Who is Bursty? We aren't a global big name agency who has been in the industry for years and years, but don't let that hold you back! We are new, small and do things a little differently - and also like to believe we punch well above our weight. Our focus is on sport and culture, doing purpose led work that matters, and working with clients that like to push the boundaries. We also own a couple of our own companies alongside a couple of inspiring people, so if you like choccy milk or doing random acts of kindness, then that's a bonus.

If you are the right person to join our team, your role will be to oversee campaigns and projects across a number of key clients. In most cases you will be the day to day point of contact for your clients. Your primary focus is to ensure all campaigns and projects in your accounts are delivered smoothly and to their full potential, in line with client objectives. Your work will include:

• The day-to-day management of clients’ marketing campaigns and projects
• Regular communication and liaison with clients
• Building client proposals, campaign plans and post campaign reports
• Coordinating client briefs and feedback to the creative team
• Pitching fresh and innovative ideas to clients
• Completing projects to agreed schedule and budget
• Coordinating WIP meetings and liaising with clients to understand their requirements
• Administration tasks to keep campaigns well-managed and organized
• Bring a can do, proactive attitude every day.

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

• Two to three years minimum experience
• Demonstrated experience in professional client relationship management
• A solid background in marketing, creative and/or sponsorship
• The ability to plan and strategise on marketing activity
• A persuasive and confident approach to creative projects
• Confidence to assess options and make decisions in ambiguity or with limited direction
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
• Ability to proactively pre-empt and solve problems, before they become problems
• The willingness to note relevant trends, develop ideas and contribute to the creative process
• Enthusiastic, energetic and highly motivated team player who is confident in exploring new ways of working
• Ability to work on multiple projects in a fast-paced environment, managing projects start to finish
• You must be able to work efficiently and confidently to tight deadlines, independently and co-dependently.
