Creative Agency Account Executive - Career Development Opportunity

Are you looking for an opportunity to build a career in the creative industry?

Do you enjoy working with people, keeping projects organised and seeing ideas come to life?

We're looking for an ambitious and highly organised Account Executive to join our Creative Agency team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to develop a career in a fast-paced agency environment, working alongside experienced Account Managers, creatives, designers and production specialists to deliver outstanding work for a diverse range of clients.

As an Account Executive, you'll play a key role in supporting creative projects from initial brief through to final delivery. You'll gain hands-on experience, build valuable industry knowledge and develop the skills needed for a successful long-term career within a creative agency.

This is not a role where you'll sit on the sidelines. You'll be trusted with real responsibility from day one, helping to coordinate projects, support client relationships and ensure work is delivered on time, on budget and to the highest standard.

What You'll Be Doing

• Supporting the delivery of creative, marketing and communication projects from concept through to completion
• Working closely with clients and internal teams to ensure projects run smoothly
• Managing project timelines, schedules and workflows
• Producing project status reports and updates
• Supporting client meetings and helping translate briefs into actionable plans
• Proofing and quality-checking work before delivery
• Monitoring project progress and helping to resolve challenges as they arise
• Building strong working relationships with clients, suppliers and colleagues
• Supporting Account Managers in the day-to-day management of client accounts
• Helping deliver an exceptional client experience on every project

What We're Looking For

To be successful in this role, you will need:

• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Outstanding attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high-quality work
• The confidence to build positive relationships with clients and colleagues at all levels
• The ability to prioritise workload and remain calm in a busy environment
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach and a willingness to take ownership
• Strong problem-solving skills and a commercial mindset
• The ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team
• Good Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel and PowerPoint
• A genuine interest in creativity, marketing, communications and client service
• Experience in a marketing or agency environment will be an advantage

We welcome applications from candidates with experience in administration, customer service, project coordination, marketing, client services or account support who are looking to develop their career within a creative agency environment.

Why Join APS?

At APS, you'll work alongside talented creative, marketing and production professionals while gaining exposure to a wide variety of projects, clients and industries.

You'll be part of a supportive team that will help you develop your skills, grow your confidence and build valuable agency experience. We invest in our people and provide genuine opportunities for progression for those who are eager to learn and succeed.

A passion for creativity is important, but the people who thrive in this role combine creativity with exceptional organisation, communication skills and attention to detail.

No previous agency experience? That's okay. If you can demonstrate the skills, drive and enthusiasm we're looking for, we'd love to hear from you.
