Account Executive
Hello. It looks like you're after a new job. Either that or someone you know read this ad and thought 'this job sounds perfect for [your name here]' and sent it to you. Truth is we don't mind how you got here - the good news is you're reading this ad right now. Well, that's Part 1 of the good news anyway.
Good news, Part 2: You'll be happy here at HainesAttract... and we'll be happy to have you. You see, this job's a great way to develop a wide range of transferable skills - skills you can use to take your career onwards and upwards.
This role is responsible for handling the day-to-day advertising needs of our clients - focusing on the fast and accurate processing and placement of their advertising material, so account management and relationship skills are a must.
More specifically, you will:
independently manage a large and busy portfolio of clients so you'll need confidence and excellent communication skills over the phone, via email and face-to-face
process all advertising requests from proofing and amending all advertising material (attention to detail and grammatical skills will be key) through to the accurate quoting of media and liaising with our Accounts team to handle any media queries
up sell and suggest improvements on advertising channels, copy and branding, based on your expert knowledge of the recruitment market and media channels (training is provided)
work with the Media team to achieve monthly, quarterly and annual sales targets (an understanding of sales and commercials would be beneficial).
This is a busy, process-driven role and you'll need to be prepared to work hard, so if you're as cool as a cucumber (how cool is a cucumber, anyway?) and aren't daunted by a deadline-driven environment, you'll be happy here. But we said that already.
Good news, Part 3: You've already got what it takes to get started with us: a great attitude, maturity, a good (maybe slightly wacky?) sense of humour and a real hunger to learn and grow. If you've got a media, customer service, admin, or sales background that would be the icing on the cake (did we mention you get cake on your birthday?).
We have a great office, and the working environment is awesome. The Media team know how to have fun whilst working hard and achieving outstanding results. Sound like you? Well that's good news! We'd love to have you! Apply now.
A side note: While this role does have the word "Account" in it, we're not looking for an Accountant. This role is about pushing advertising and media, not numbers!
