The Opportunity
Samsung is the agency’s largest and most integrated account. With this comes unparalleled creative, strategic and fulfilment opportunities to develop distinctive and innovative work for one of the world’s biggest
and most influential brands of the 21st century.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and driven integrated Account Executive to join the Samsung UK Channel & Brand team who can set the pace, agenda and high standards to deliver work through a variety
of channels - from developing bespoke origination campaigns to managing the localisation across Print, Digital, D/OOH, Social, Radio and AV.
Working into the Account Director with support of Integrated Producers and wider team, this role will require a mix of creative development, delivery and management of projects across a wide portfolio of cutting-edge products and services.
The role requires those who thrive in an agile environment with obsessive attention to detail. You should be organised as well as being flexible, a natural problem solver.
The team is fun, supportive, with a brilliant collaborative client team and looking forward to growing further.
What you'd spend your day
- Supporting the Account Directors and Group Account Director in the smooth running of the account, whilst owning specific workstreams/projects.
- Building exceptional relationships with your clients by gaining their trust and efficiently managing expectations, media agency contacts and any internal/external intermediaries.
- Being a key point of contact internally – connecting various departments, and for clients across workstreams/projects.
- Taking ownership of small projects and overseeing them from start to finish (from receiving the briefs through the
agency/external process through to delivery to various media channels).
What we're looking for
Are you energetic, eager to learn, and proactive?
We’re looking for someone who is enthusiastic, curious, and ready to take on new challenges. You’ll be joining a motivated team, so a genuine interest in producing great work and helping move projects forward is key. We want someone who’s excited to learn, stay on top of trends, and support the team in delivering excellent results for clients.
Do you enjoy building strong relationships?
You don’t need to be an expert communicator just yet, but you should be excited about connecting with people. You’ll have the opportunity to work with both internal teams and clients, so a positive attitude and the ability to share information in a clear and friendly way will help build trust. Being approachable and having a natural ability to build rapport will be important as you grow in the role.
Are you detail-oriented and organised?
Organisation and attention to detail will be essential as you help support the team. You’ll assist with managing key processes, including financial tracking and client deliverables. Being proactive, reliable, and able to stay on top of tasks will help you contribute to the team’s success, even as you continue learning and developing in the role.
