Marketing Account Manager

Marketing Account Manager 

(Part-Time 3 to 4 days per week)

Beans Marketing is on the look-out for an ambitious and creative Marketing Account Manager. You are organised, thrive off a busy working environment and understand the importance of great relationships in professional services.

The position will start as a part-time role, with the opportunity to go full-time for the right candidate as our agency is growing bigger every day.

You know the agency world, you can bring experience and plenty of stories, but you are open to learning new ways of doing things and creating something different.

Maybe you are already managing other freelance clients and have a vision to build your career in a growing Illawarra-based agency - whatever your strength is we’d love to help you expand your creative interests into new territories, one action-packed day at a time. 

We are looking for someone with agency experience, , relentless initiative, a creative & strategic thinker with a toolkit to execute things quickly and to deadline. 

You'll be well-organised, can think on your feet, and consider everything a chance to learn and grow.

Tasks and tools of the job

• Client Services - You're all about building strong relationships that reflect who Beans is and what we stand for. You're a professional communicator and go-to person for clients on email, phone or Google Meets. You're comfortable talking the talk at all levels of the organisation - from team members to business owners.
• Strategy -  You are well rehearsed in understanding a business, industry or sector and crafting communications to meet business objectives. This could come in the form of a marketing plan or strategy, a content planner, a press ad or a social post. 
• Analysis - you know how to look at numbers and connect the dots. You don't need to be an expert in all the technical areas, but an understanding of the data and how to improve our results is key.
• Workflow - Creating workflows, plans, drafting proposals and budgets, coordinating and running client meetings and ensuring the team are briefed and equipped to smash their deadlines. A master of order, organisation and efficiency!
•  Research - You never stop exploring, searching, sharing and growing.
• Team Work - You are a team player, and understand that everyone plays a role in painting the bigger picture. You enjoy working with today's youth to show them the ropes, just as much as you do bouncing ideas back and forth with our creative team. 
• Project Management - You love working on a variety of projects, clients, businesses and industries. You juggle your time and tasks like a true performer. You can jump through hoops when you need to, and know how to balance the tightrope of time, quality and cost.
• Experience using the Monday Project Management tool would be the icing on the cake!
• Google Suite - Experience in using and creating amazing documents and collateral in Google Suite - G-Drive, Slides, Docs etc.

Finally, we feel it is important to note that your own creative ideas, initiative and a growth mindset is a big plus. We want the person that seeks out the new and exciting, that wants to know how it has been created and is keen to make something even better. It’s almost always about attitude!

The right candidate probably:

• Loves to learn. Either through traditional or non-traditional routes, you are always keen to better yourself and learn more. 
• Gets it done. You love the feeling of ticking an item off your to-do list. 
• You are an avid consumer of content and you have a bit of an opinion on whatever you are reading, watching or listening to and why it is interesting, or isn’t. 
• You’re reliable. If we begin a working relationship, we want to be able to rely on you. We are super flexible, as long as we know what is going on and whatever needs to get done, gets done.
