This is an exciting opportunity for a driven Account Manager to join a fast-growing creative agency, leading client relationships and delivering high-impact campaigns across events, branding, and content.

Company Profile:

Our client is your next creative playground for shaping success stories. They’re all for ideas and campaigns that win. They dream big, they brainstorm like crazy, and they exceed expectations because they are laser-focused on being a PR agency, and not anything else.

As a specialized and trend-setting PR agency that is independent in its approach and global in its reliability and taste, they build your brand’s dreams from the ground up with a hands-on, strategic approach—pails not included.

• Proactively monitor project status (timeline, budget, deliverables) and flag risks or delays
• Maintain visibility across multiple projects simultaneously (typically 4–6 accounts depending on complexity)

3. Account Growth & Revenue Expansion

• Identify upselling and cross-selling opportunities
• Proactively propose campaign extensions and new initiatives
• Maintain visibility of pipeline opportunities within accounts
• Contribute to new business efforts when needed
• Explore potential new business opportunities through networking, events, and industry exposure (nice-to-have)

4. Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Project Managers to ensure smooth execution
• Align with Procurement and Finance on cost control and payment flow
• Partner with creatives and production teams to elevate campaign quality
• Work closely with vendors and external partners to ensure alignment on budget and execution quality
• Contribute to overall project smoothness, ensuring strong collaboration across internal teams, vendors, and partners

5. Commercial Ownership & Profitability

• Own project pricing, scope alignment, and margin protection
• Manage change orders and prevent scope creep
• Ensure billing milestones are triggered and aligned with delivery
• Monitor project profitability in partnership with finance
• Support cost optimization by identifying savings opportunities within project budgets

6. Tools, Systems & Ways of Working

• Utilize Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides) and Google Meet for day-to-day operations
• Use messaging platforms (Telegram, WhatsApp, Viber) for internal and client communication
• Leverage AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) for drafting communications and simple visual/concept outputs

7. Execution Support & Field Work

• Participate in on-ground execution for events and activations when required
• Be open to occasional travel within and outside Metro Manila for activations and shoots

8. Role Evolution & Additional Contributions

• Potentially support proposal creation and scope development as the role evolves
