The Role:
An Account Manager is a vital part of the team, confidently managing projects from start to finish and ensuring the smooth delivery of exceptional work. You’ll act as the bridge between clients and internal teams; you’ll build strong relationships and keep everything on track. With a deeper understanding of the creative process and how it connects to client strategy, you’ll take ownership of your projects, ensuring they meet both creative and commercial objectives. You’ll need to be proactive, adaptable, and solutions-focused, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities while maintaining high standards. You’ll be the person who keeps the team moving forward, being the agency connector and delivering work that makes a real impact.
This role sits within Ogilvy's B2B practice, working on a number of clients across financial services, logistics and professional services. The work spans integrated 360, social media and influence and digital campaigns. You'll be part of a close-knit team, supported by a Business Director and Project Director and working alongside strategists, creatives and wider agency functions. Beyond the work itself, we're looking for someone with a genuine ambition to grow - this is a role for someone who wants to build a long-term career and make their mark, not just pass through.
Experience in B2B marketing is a welcome advantage, though not essential - above all, we want someone sharp, hard-working and genuinely curious about the world their clients operate in.
Key Responsibilities:
Be the client’s trusted partner – Build and maintain productive relationships with junior and mid-level clients, acting as their go-to person for updates, problem-solving, and advice.
Be the creative advocate – Ensure the work aligns with client strategy and objectives, while also pushing for creative excellence. Facilitate collaboration between creatives, strategists, and producers to bring campaigns to life.
Be commercially savvy – Manage project budgets, ensuring financial targets are met. Work closely with the finance team to track spending and flag any potential issues.
Be the project leader – In collaboration with your Project Director, take ownership of developing small to medium scopes and fees, agree overall timings and allocation of resource.
Be adaptable – Tailor processes to suit the needs of each project, ensuring high-quality delivery even in the face of changing priorities.
Be operationally strong– Set up projects across all key platforms (Wrike & Workday), organise project kick off meetings and align key internal stakeholders.
Be analytical – Assess project performance, identify areas for improvement, and proactively seek feedback to refine your approach.
Be the problem-solver – Tackle challenges head-on, finding innovative solutions to ensure projects stay on track and deliver results.
Be the challenger – Question and challenge strategies to ensure they go deep enough and aligned with the client’s goals. Push creatives to go beyond “good enough," ensuring the work is bold, impactful, and aligned with client objectives.
Key Skills:
A meticulous eye for detail and a proactive, problem-solving mindset
Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle multiple projects
A collaborative approach – working with creatives, strategists, producers, and clients to bring campaigns to life
A client-first mindset, always advocating for what the client needs and ensuring their objectives are met
Excellent communication skills to build strong relationships with clients and internal teams.
A balance of creative and commercial thinking, ensuring work is both impactful and aligned with client objectives.
A natural curiosity to seek feedback, refine processes, and improve outcomes.
A passion for delivering exceptional work that solves client challenges and drives results.
Stay adaptable and open-minded, keeping up with industry trends to ensure our approach remains relevant and current.
Ability to develop, design and build effective presentations for client work/ presentations and pitches.
