Are you looking for an opportunity to innovate with brands? Involving the development of strategy, creative concepts, content and campaign implementation?
This role will be underpinned by passion and ambition, and those with experience in leading digital content and social campaigns within a creative agency will have an advantage.

- Will lead on projects where account management is required.
- Is accountable for the brief, and works with the client to ensure the team has obtained the right information required to begin work on the project.
- Ensures that the project team and client agree to a budget and scope before work is commenced, and obtains the necessary purchase orders to commence work.
- Accountable for project timing plans, ensuring that project teams and the client are on board with them.
- Accountable for scope management and scope creep on projects, working with the Project manager and Producers to ensure the client has approved and is aligned to these.
- Escalates any projects that are at risk of an unsuccessful delivery to the Account Director.
- Works with project teams to ensure that projects are running smoothly, ensuring that they understand the client's ambitions and that the client understands the requirements of the team to meet them.
- Accountable for the final presentation of work to the client, ensuring that the work answers the briefs, all QA checks are complete and is presented in the best light.

**New business development and pipeline activity**
- Identifies new business opportunities through relationships, always looking to up-sell IIG's capabilities, and works with the AD to establish a plan to pursue the business.
