The Role: 

As the Account Manager (Integrated, Social-first), you will support the delivery of large-scale, integrated campaigns for a consumer tech brand within a collaborative WPP inter-agency model. With a strong social-first mindset particularly across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. You will play a key role in helping coordinate work across brand, influence, content, and paid media touchpoints to ensure smooth and effective campaign delivery. 

You will report into the Account Director and work closely with them and the wider team to support the day-to-day management of major campaign workstreams. A core part of your role will be helping to keep delivery organised, on track, and clearly documented, ensuring that campaign activity is well-coordinated across internal teams and agency partners. 

You will support the translation of campaign strategy into structured outputs, helping to manage the creation and maintenance of content ecosystems, campaign assets, and rollout materials, ensuring work is clearly organised and accessible for execution across social, influencer, brand, and wider media channels. 

You will contribute to bringing the brand’s cultural ambition to life through big, idea-led campaigns, helping coordinate talent and creator partnerships where relevant, and ensuring all activity is delivered in a way that is culturally relevant, platform-native, and aligned with wider campaign objectives. 

With a solid understanding of social media and integrated campaign delivery, you will help ensure ideas are implemented consistently across channels - supporting coordination between social storytelling, influencer activity, brand content, and paid amplification. You will also assist in the preparation and distribution of campaign toolkits, content playbooks, influencer guidance, and delivery documents, ensuring teams and partners have what they need to execute effectively. 

This role requires a highly organised, detail-oriented, and proactive account manager who is comfortable working in fast-paced, multi-workstream environments. You will be responsible for supporting timelines, tracking actions, managing updates, and ensuring clear communication across internal teams and external stakeholders. 

Ultimately, you will act as a key delivery support within the account team helping ensure campaigns are well-structured, well-executed, and delivered with consistency and clarity across all touchpoints. 

This role is ideal for someone with early-to-mid level account management experience in agency environments, a passion for social-first integrated campaigns, and a strong ability to keep multiple moving parts organised and progressing in fast-paced delivery settings.

· Be operationally strong – Set up projects across all key platforms (Wrike & Workday), organise project kick off meetings and align key internal stakeholders.
