Account Manager / Project Manager / Account Exec

Due to organic growth, we are immediately looking to strengthen our client services team.  Website project management experience is key for this role.  Minimum 2 years agency experience in project managing web design and build project a must.

Are you an account exec looking for a jump to a better role? Or maybe an account manager/project manager looking for a new challenge.  As an integrated agency, we produce a wide range of work, from brand strategy and brand design to full rollout including websites, apps, video, print and animation.  We are located in a beautiful newly fitted studio in the trendy Ancoats Village area that has just won interior design awards. Free fruit, beer fridge, breakout areas, pool table, roof garden, bike storage, lockers, showers. Very cheap parking or free residential parking nearby.

Our account director is stepping up to work alongside our MD within a sales role and we are now looking for an experienced project manager to work alongside our existing project manager bringing with them solid experience in delivering great projects.

There will be a mix of projects including branding, web, print, video, animation etc. We have put emphasis on web experience as we feel this is the harder side of the project management to pick up and where a lot of client budget is spent.

A proactive person who loves to please and deliver a quality project and service.
