With its roots dating back to 1999, PHAR Insight’s offering is bespoke in nature, and different from that of other agencies in the market. The quality of our work and service is reflected in the high volume of retained, repeat and referred business.
Our client list is broad and varied. Current and previous clients include: Manchester Airports Group, The BRIT Awards, BAFTA, Red Bull, The Premier League, The Kennel Club, O2, LW Theatres, Changi Airport, Transport for London, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Chelsea FC, Cancer Research Race for Life, Mercedes AMG Petronas F1, Eden Project, SSE, Science Museum, Transport for Greater Manchester, Water Aid, and ASOS.
The Role
A vacancy has arisen for an Account Executive in the PHAR Insight team. The role will follow our current working arrangements – half the time based in our London office (WeWork, 10 York Road - near Waterloo Station) and half the time working from home.
Reporting to the Head of Insight, and working across the client portfolio as required, the Account Executive’s principal responsibilities will include:
Data Analysis
Using our market-leading suite of sponsorship evaluation tools to analyse and evaluate existing sponsorships and potential sponsorship opportunities
Use of data analysis tools, primarily Excel and IBM SPSS, but also including industry and internal databases
Creating draft presentations and reports
Working to the Account Director’s direction, representing data analysis in a range of different presentation and report styles.
Providing insightful commentary on the analysis displayed
Ensuring that all client-facing documents are of the highest standard, including format, data correctness, spelling etc.
Sourcing data
From bespoke client research studies which we have put in place
From desk research (internet, press etc.)
From industry publications
Liaison with/management of data suppliers
- To ensure that the data requirements are delivered and to address any problems or issues that may be encountered along the way
Attendance at meetings
- Potentially, as appropriate, also to present findings, though this is not necessarily an essential requirement for this role in the immediate term
Team support
- Providing industry information to the wider PHAR Partnerships team, as and when appropriate
The Candidate
The successful candidate is likely to be someone with 1-2 years’ experience working in a research or consultancy-related role (eg. within a market research agency, the research department of a brand, consulting firm, etc.) or a media agency role (media buying, media planning, etc.). But could equally be a recent graduate. Skillset and personality are more important than experience.
Attributes we’re looking for include:
Highly numerical, comfortable with numbers and data
Exceptional accuracy and attention to detail
Passion for data and the value of strong analytical output
Can demonstrate problem solving skills
Highly resourceful
Self-disciplined, can work with direction or on own initiative
Enjoys working in a fast-paced environment
Enthusiastic and flexible with a ‘can-do’ attitude
Able to work to short deadlines across multiple projects
Goes above and beyond what’s been asked of them
This is an excellent job for someone with an analytical mind-set who is comfortable working with data and numbers, who is keen to work with high-profile organisations, and in an environment where career progression is encouraged and supported.
The nature of the work is constantly growing and evolving, in line with client demand, and there is the flexibility to shape the job to some degree to the specific skills and preferences of the successful candidate, within the context of delivering the core client service.
There could also be the opportunity to travel. Many of our clients are based overseas, and with offices across South East Asia and Australasia, travelling is actively encouraged when the time is right.
Salary
Competitive, and in line with the candidate’s specific skillset and expertise.
