Job description

Senior Account Executive - Creative Marketing

London, England, United Kingdom

TEAM – Creative Marketing

LOCATION – UK London (hybrid)

Role

We are looking for an adaptable and hardworking Senior Account Executive (SAE) who will work under close supervision of senior colleagues to support in the delivery of healthcare communications programs. As a SAE you will be working on fast-paced, science-driven accounts with a collaborative team. You will be able to demonstrate sound consultancy skills and have the ability to manage competing priorities, whilst contributing to internal projects.

Creative Marketing at AXON is all about doing the right thing. We believe that is about honest consultation with clients, so we act in their interests but not always according to their brief. Insightful consideration to unlock more value. And pushing creativity upstream to give it more clout. All this gives us confidence in what we deliver and builds confidence in us.

Creative Marketing is the newest practice in AXON, so we have the rare opportunity to build and shape the practice just the way we want to. We’re looking for a likeminded Senior Account Executive who is set up for the challenge and genuinely interested in the experience of building our practice and with the support of their team driving their client accounts and projects. Joining the Creative Marketing team at AXON will give team members at all levels opportunities they may not experience in your mainstream healthcare marketing agency – including opportunities to work with practices outside of creative marketing, working on Global/European accounts and internal responsibilities that help shape the direction of our practice. If you’re an ambitious Senior Account Executive looking for a new opportunity or an Account Executive looking to push yourself and your career to that next step, we would love to hear from you.

Your responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Champions creative think and the value of creativity within the day-to-day account management
• Actively contributes to the creative ideation process, providing ideas and perspectives for consideration
• Provides thoughtful, constructive feedback to the creative team to support the strengthening of ideas
• Has sound understanding for a suite of marketing tactics across a range of channels
• Is comfortable and confident with the creative delivery process for a suite of tactical materials and has experience of developing tactical briefs for creative projects

At AXON, we actively encourage the team to be involved in activities outside of their day-to-day work. Whether that is being involved in our social, Diversity & Inclusion, or CSR electives, attending networking events, or running training sessions on topics in which they have a personal interest. We have a keen focus on training and development and, as a rough guide, suggest employees aim to complete 37.5 hours of learning a year through online learning, classroom training, or attending external events; that’s 1 week a year dedicated to your development.

SAE experience criteria: at least 1 year’s work experience from within a client service role within an agency environment, focused on healthcare/pharma advertising.

As well as the basic salary, great social events, and a culture of continual learning, our competitive benefits package includes but is not limited to:

• Private medical insurance (for you and your family)
• Critical Illness cover
• Income Protection cover
• Travel insurance (for you and your family)
• 25 days’ holiday (with the ability for it to rise to a maximum of 30 days alongside length of service) – in addition to bank holidays
• Life assurance service insurance at 4x your salary
• Paid sabbaticals after 5 years’ service
