Senior Account Manager- Saatchi & Saatchi Wellness

Company Description

Saatchi & Saatchi Wellness is a full-service creative agency operating in the health and wellness space. Our purpose is to unleash the ‘Wellness Effect’ in every person through meaningful personalised experiences, because we achieve greater outcomes when we are fully engaged in our wellness. We believe when our people do well, our work does well, our clients do well, and our patients do well, inspiring even more wellness in the world. We sum it up in two small words…Do Well.

That’s the what, but the how is guided by these six values – authenticity, courage, trust, creativity, belonging. This is what we believe matters most. The foundations that allow us to always have wellness front of mind.

Job Description

As an agency, we work with people we believe in to make work the world can believe in, combining scientific rigour with creative magic to help professionals in the health and wellness space achieve fame for their brands and themselves. That’s the what, but the how is guided by four defining principles – curious, creative, discerning, brave. These are the values we look for and nurture in others and ourselves, underpinning as they do a culture of collaborative entrepreneurialism that drives high-performance.

Who you are

We’re looking for someone who’s looking for something. Someone who’s not quite content with where they are and what they’ve got. Someone who spends their time dreaming, making, doing, building, creating. Someone with the intelligence to think, challenge, and push things into unexpected places, without pushing people into unpleasant places. Someone who doesn’t believe rules are absolute or good enough is good enough. We’re looking for someone special. Maybe that someone is you?

The Role

A Senior Account Manager will be expected to carry out similar tasks as an Account Manager but will also take on responsibilities associated with the Account Director role. The role will already have experience of working across a range of projects as an Account Manager and should demonstrate the ability to draw on previous experience to make recommendations to clients and proactively propose solutions to their problems.

The role will demonstrate sufficient knowledge of the client’s business to be able to actively contribute to and critically assess content development. The role will build your confidence to have more strategic conversations with clients, without always needing a more senior member of the team to be involved.
