Job description

Account Manager – Samsung Mobile (Cheil UK)

We’re looking for a talented and driven Account Manager to join our team at Cheil UK working on Samsung Mobile. This role is an incredible opportunity to work at the heart of one of the world’s most innovative technology brands.

Samsung Mobile campaigns are high volume, quick turnaround media fulfilment projects which require flexibility, being able to prioritise and strong attention to detail. While there are campaigns throughout the year, there are 2 big flagship campaigns a year where on time delivery is essential to meet global launches.

In addition to this we have a strong new business drive, so you will be expected to identify new business opportunities on existing workstreams, push for creative opportunities as well as widen our reach outside of these current project areas to grow the business.

You’ll also have the chance to get involved in pitches, and work on some exciting new creative business that has recently been won!

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the day-to-day lead on the Samsung MX account.
• Localising creative assets and delivering across multiple channels.
• Work with Project Managers to develop project plans and book studio requests.
• Attend weekly client meetings and write contact and status reports.
• Communicating with the client to prioritise workflow and updating them on progress.
• Helping with financial administration for the team, keep finance trackers up to date and making sure projects are delivered on budget. Plus identify when work is out of scope and therefore needs flagging internally to the SAD and to clients.
• Manage junior team members, supporting their development and ensuring high standards of delivery.
• Keep abreast of Samsung product launches, market trends, and competitor activity.

Requirements

• Proven experience in an integrated agency environment, ideally working with large, global brands.
• Experience managing high volume media fulfilment campaigns.
• Excellent client servicing and communication skills – calm under pressure, solutions-oriented, and commercially minded.
• Experience working closely with media agencies and understands media plans.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and deadlines.

Personality Traits

Proactive & Driven

You're the kind of person who doesn't wait to be asked—you see what needs to be done and get on with it. You’re always looking ahead, anticipating client needs and keeping projects moving.

Commercially Savvy

You understand the bigger picture and the business goals. You’re comfortable discussing budgets to clients.

Client-Centric & Empathetic

You build strong relationships with clients by understanding their pressures and making their lives easier. You’re a calming presence in high-pressure moments and always come through with solutions.

Collaborative by Nature

You thrive in a team environment and know how to bring people together across departments. Whether it's briefing creative teams, syncing with media agencies, or aligning with production—you’re a natural connector and communicator.

Detail-Oriented

You take pride in the detail but you also know when to zoom out and make fast decisions to keep things on track.

Confident but Humble

You’re confident in your abilities and willing to take the lead, but you’re also open to feedback, ready to admit when you don’t know something, and eager to keep improving.
