Account Manager (Channel and Performance)

About Hunterlodge

Hunterlodge Advertising is a leading full-service marketing agency delivering innovative, insight-led campaigns across Higher Education, Healthcare, Financial Services, Professional Services and B2B sectors.

We combine strategic thinking, creative excellence, AI, data and media expertise to help our clients achieve measurable commercial outcomes. As we continue to grow, we're looking for ambitious Account Managers who thrive in a fast-paced environment and enjoy taking ownership of both client relationships and campaign delivery.

The Opportunity

We're looking for an experienced, hands-on Account Manager to join our growing team.

This is not a traditional client servicing role. We're looking for someone who enjoys getting into the detail of campaign delivery, understands how digital marketing channels work and is confident challenging performance to ensure every campaign delivers exceptional results.

You'll own a portfolio of client accounts, acting as the central point between our clients and our specialist teams across Media, Performance, Strategy, Creative, AI Visibility, Content and Analytics. You'll ensure campaigns are delivered efficiently, projects stay on track, and opportunities to improve performance are continually identified.

You'll become a trusted adviser to your clients while taking ownership of campaign delivery, commercial performance and project management.

This role offers a clear progression pathway towards Senior Account Manager and Account Director.
