From point-of-sale campaigns rolling out across national retail networks to large-scale events and activations, the project mix here is genuinely broad. If you want to own client relationships across that full range without being boxed into one specialism, this Account Manager - Marketing & Event Agency opportunity is worth a proper look.
- Clear progression path to Account Director
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Private healthcare
- Varied portfolio spanning print, retail activation and live events
- Relaxed, autonomous culture with real support behind you
- Regular team socials and a Yorkshire countryside base
The Company
This is a Yorkshire-based marketing execution and events business that has been running for 24 years, built on long-standing client relationships rather than one-off wins. The work spans physical marketing, retail activation, creative production, exhibitions, and live events across household-name brands in retail, finance, healthcare, and hospitality. The culture is notably relaxed and autonomous, the team is close-knit, and people tend to stay. Which is exactly what you would expect from a place where an Account Manager - Marketing & Event Agency gets real autonomy from day one.
The Role
As Account Manager - Marketing & Event Agency, you will own a portfolio of client relationships end to end, managing everything from day-to-day print and POS requirements through to complex retail activations and large-scale events, working closely with internal production and design teams as well as an external supply chain to keep projects on time, on budget, and on brief.
- Build and maintain trusted client relationships as the day-to-day point of contact
- Manage project delivery from initial brief through to completion and invoicing
- Produce and manage quotations, working with suppliers to get the best value
- Coordinate timelines across multiple concurrent projects and stakeholders
- Handle POS and print management alongside event and activation coordination
- Attend client-facing events where appropriate, with travel roughly once a month
The Candidate
The right fit for this Account Manager - Marketing & Event Agency role is someone who has handled client relationships directly, taken ownership of project delivery, and worked commercially across quotations and supplier management. A background in retail, events, or print is what matters most.
Exposure to exhibitions or large-scale activations is beneficial but not essential, as is hands-on experience in POS or print management. If you are currently an account coordinator ready to step up into full relationship ownership, or arriving from an adjacent sector as an Account Manager - Marketing & Event Agency looking for broader project variety, this role is worth exploring.
Private healthcare, 25 days holiday, a genuine route to Account Director, and a culture built on trust rather than process make this a strong package for the right person. Shortlisting is underway, so get your application across now and we will be in touch.
