Account Manager Bristol, England
Job description
What we're looking for?
We’re on the lookout for a proactive, experienced and organised team player, with outstanding client service skills, a flair for sales, and a passion for digital technology, to join our team of digital account managers in Bristol.
What you'll be doing
As a member of our client service team, you’ll be working with and alongside your client service team mates, as well as directly with sales, development and design colleagues, to support and build relationships with, and to help deliver a variety of digital projects for, a wide range of clients: from web applications, ecommerce and CMS-driven sites, to system integrations.
Your work will be critical to forging long-term relationships with our clients. You'll use your client, commercial and digital knowledge to identify and present opportunities and establish us as their trusted partners who understand them, and understand how digital can help them. You'll also take the lead in managing the specification, development and implementation of large-scale client projects.
We’ll expect you all the while to stay on the ball when it comes to best practice, evolving industry trends, standards and technologies, commercial and client knowledge. And, of course, we'll want you to share your knowledge with your fellow team members – in return for which, you can expect to learn plenty from them.

- Organised: expertly managing your time and balancing a varied and ever-changing workload to ensure that deadlines and expectations are consistently met or exceeded
- Great to work with: a team player who communicates with honesty and respect, stays calm under pressure, takes responsibility for their work and knows how to have fun!
- A problem-solver: proactively using your logical and lateral thinking to understand your clients’ needs, identify their problems and come up with dazzling digital solutions
- Flexible: embracing change by proactively adapting what you do, how you do it and how you work with others
- A little bit obsessive: honing in on, and caring about, every little detail, to ensure the work you present to clients is consistently brilliant
- A bright spark: bringing enthusiasm, drive and positivity to everything you do, actively seeking opportunities to push yourself, learn along the way, and share your learning with others.
As far as your current skills and experience go, this is what we’re looking for.
Must-haves:
- Demonstrable experience of engaging with clients to support their business needs with a focus on excellent support, continuous improvement and client growth
- The commercial aptitude to identify and push opportunities ahead with clients
