The best SAMs go above and beyond expectations, taking on important supporting roles in new business and agency life and thinking up targeted and creative ideas for their clients.
The Senior Account Manager is a role model for their junior staff and is seen as their day-to-day point of contact and ‘go-to’ person for clients.

- Integrated communications/marketing and corporate communications experience preferred, but not required
Why Us:
- A robust learning & development program
