Job Summary

As an integral member of the team you won’t just take the notes and make the coffees – our Account Executives are at the heart of everything we do and work closely with our Account Managers to contribute to the profitability of the company. From liaising with clients, working with our lively creatives to understand requirements and communicate them into a robust proposition, delving into the psyche of individuals to oversee a digital candidate journey, liaising with internal stakeholders to ensure campaigns go live in a timely fashion and shadowing our experienced project management individuals who ultimately ensure everything is delivered on time and on budget – no two days are the same.

Being the first point of contact for our clients, you will be required to deal with incoming requests efficiently and professionally. Directing queries to the right members of the team who are always on hand to support.

You may be required to take briefs (both in person and on the phone) so you must be unafraid to ask ‘why?’ and constantly be challenging yourself to find out more.
There’s never a one size fits all and the solution may involve liaising with several individuals across teams to find the right solution for your client. You will be responsible for organising these meetings and keeping everyone in check.

Sadly, there is always some paperwork – and as a HKX Platformer you may be responsible for producing client documents, work in progress reports and meeting notes.

*This role is part of the HKX Platform x LIFT programme a 6-month in-depth learning experience for people wanting to get into the advertising, communication, and media industry. The programme is ideal for anyone who likes brands, culture, and communication. You’ll be a part of the real team, working on real briefs, doing real work, for real clients.

The programme will run from May – November 2023 and you must be available for full time work for the duration of the programme to be considered.
