We are McCann Central, the UK’s largest integrated agency. Over 500 individuals working together to help brands play a meaningful role in people’s lives.
We are also part of McCann Worldgroup, a global agency network that delivers culture-shaping work for some of the world’s biggest brands.

So, creativity really is at the forefront of everything we do.
We’re a team of passionate creatives, strategists and marketers from a wide mix of backgrounds. But there’s a lot that unites us – like caring deeply about everything we make. And though our skillsets are wide, and our process knowledge is deep, we are all still learning every day.
We’re searching for an Account Manager to join us at McCann Birmingham. We’re looking for people with agency experience and who have worked with exciting brands, but most importantly, it’s your can-do attitude and approach we’re interested in.
You’ll also be a force to be reckoned with when it comes to getting the job done. Great at managing multiple projects under pressure, getting the team organised and ensuring everything is running smoothly.

* Develop accurate and engaging briefs, scheduling jobs to ensure they are delivered on time and within budget.
* Build effective working relationships with all key departments, ensuring they are updated and work is in line with client requirements.
* Judge creative ideas for factual accuracy and relevance to brief.
* Ensure all creative work is signed off, proofread, and all mandatory requirements have been included before leaving the agency.
A bit about you & your previous experience
* Experience as an Account Manager working on fully integrated campaigns.
* Excellent communication skills – both written and verbal.
* Highly developed organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.
* Experience of working with multiple stakeholders.
* Problem solver who can think on their feet and seek out new opportunities for the business and the clients.
* A future leader. We’re looking for ambitious people who want to grow and progress (personally & professionally).
* A curious mindset.
* A collaborative, team-oriented approach.
* A self-starter who enjoys taking ownership and seen a campaign from start to finish.
* Trusted pair of hands that will get the job done.
In addition to a competitive salary, we are committed to creating a brilliant environment for all our people. This includes benefits such as 28 days holiday, enhanced pension contributions, life assurance and much more.
A culture of learning and development is also central to our ethos, so you’ll have access to industry leading training and development programmes, plus you’ll get to work closely with the world’s biggest media partners to access exclusive features and products.
Most importantly, you’ll be part of a fun and collaborative team and you’ll work in an environment where you are supported and developed.
Our commitment to equal opportunities
For us, diversity is a business imperative – one that must be embedded into every aspect of how we operate in order to drive success. Simply put, we believe an encouraging and inclusive environment makes sound business sense.
As a globally integrated community that influences and shapes culture, it’s vital that the talent mix in our agencies encompasses all dimensions of diversity, and that we demand the same of the people we work with.
