If you get your kicks from building client relationships and have Marie-Kondo-level organisational skills, this role might be the one for you!

Working alongside your Account Manager, you’ll form part of a pod (that’s MadeBrave speak for “small team”) dedicated to a group of clients. Your core role will be to service our clients’ needs by managing all assigned projects: supporting from the inception stage, taking full ownership of the internal studio process, and taking your project through to the finish line.
The role can involve juggling multiple projects and accounts, and your job will be to help ensure that each and every project is completed on time and on budget, all while making sure that your clients have a great experience from start to finish.

- Present designs to your clients and offer rationale that helps to explain / sell the idea / concept
- Immerse yourself in your client’s brand(s) and organise each project so all tasks are delivered on time and on budget
- Act as a link between the client and the agency (and always act in the best interests of each!)
- Assist in the daily tasks assigned by your Account Manager / Director
- Report into the Account Manager / Director for your quarterly and annual reviews
Responsibilities
- Take direction from the Account Manager/ Director, follow processes, and meet targets that contribute to achieving overarching business objectives
- Nurture client relationships, working closely with them to understand their needs

- Identify and manage risks within those projects you deliver
- Produce and take ownership of project timelines
- Write project briefs, and host / support hosting of internal briefing sessions and proof all work
- Take notes in client meetings, providing contact reports where appropriate
- Be proactive in identifying opportunities and initiatives for your clients and sharing best practise / learnings with the wider team
- Raise project quotes and maximise return on investment (ROI) whilst ensuring we deliver the best quality work to our client’s satisfaction
