Job Details
Event Account Manager - niche account portfolio of global luxury brand fashion clients - high production value events/projects/experiences!
ROLE
Amazing opportunity with a small but "punches-high-above-it's weight" event production agency for an exceptionally client facing and experienced Account Manager with a background of events, account management and client servicing within the fashion and luxury brand space.
As Account Manager you will act as the primary intermediary between the client and the agency's internal production team of event producers, creatives and project managers and will be working on big production value / high-spec projects and experiences that take place in all the fashion capitals of the world as well as a few top-end resort-based projects in exotic overseas locations.
This isn't a sales or biz dev based position and neither is it a back-end events role - instead this role is all about project communication & client communication and although relatively office/studio based it most certainly involves a lot of direct contact with some very big and AAA level clients.
Key responsibilities are
- Event Account management
- Acting as the linchpin between all "internal staff / freelancers / suppliers" and the end "client"
- F2F client liaison & client management
- Project communication (to ensure successful delivery of client projects/events)
- Over-arching project tracking
- Take the lead once a pitch has been won to drive it forward to delivery.
- Supplier/contractor management (including design, creative, production, fabrication, ops)
- Budget tracking and financial admin
- Management of all status reports, updates, client comms & contracts
Some occasional travel to accompany directors during overseas projects.
YOU
You'll be a fantastic communicator with an agency background and a minimum of 4 years' experience in an Account Manager based role working with top end clients from across the fashion, creative, luxury, FMCG and PR sectors on events, immersive projects and experiences.
You must be used to managing half a dozen very high-end accounts and shouldn't be fazed by working on events with very big budget projects.
You don't need in-depth event production knowledge (but you do need to be au-fait with what producing a really impactful and wow factor event entails) and have strong IT skills (must be MAC proficient and have experience of working on Keynote).
From a personality point of view you'll need to be vibrant and outgoing but also super professional and discreet and you'll need to be super organised, great with clients and be confident acting as the intermediary between your client and the agency's internal production team.
This is a fantastic job for a fantastic Account Manager that will see you working on a small portfolio of very creative high-end fashion brand accounts on some truly exceptional international events, projects and creative experiences!
