This is a varied role where no two days are the same. You'll be responsible for maintaining strong client relationships, overseeing campaign delivery and identifying opportunities to grow existing accounts.

We're keen to speak with candidates who have experience within a similar Account Management, Client Services or Project Management role within the print, mailing, marketing services or creative production sectors.
You'll ideally have:
- 2 years' experience in an Account Management role
- Knowledge of print production, and/or direct mail
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
- A proactive and solutions-focused approach

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is personable, collaborative and enjoys working as part of a high-performing team.
