The Role:
The Account Executive is a key role on any team at Grey London. We describe them as the backbone of the team and that’s how crucial they are. In this role, you will primarily support our Consumer Healthcare client as part of WPP Team Vitale, working across a portfolio of leading Oral Health brands and helping the team deliver integrated campaigns across multiple markets. We are looking for people who are keen to learn, absorb and get stuck in. If you have a passion for creativity, love working as part of a team and want to start or continue your career in an agency that puts creativity at the heart of everything, then this role is ideal for you. Please note this is a 12-Month FTC.
In Account Leadership, our main principles are:
This role is all about keeping our projects moving by supporting on briefs, managing timelines, and maintaining clear client communication. The most successful people in this position are proactive - they don't wait to be asked; they anticipate the team's needs and step up to meet them.
Day-to-day, you’ll be getting involved and leading:
The Accounts:
The account sits within WPP Team Vitale, partnering with a major Consumer Healthcare client across a portfolio of Oral Health brands. It is a busy, fast-moving environment where work often spans multiple markets and requires close coordination between clients, agency teams and partner agencies. You will work closely with an Account Director and senior members of the Account Leadership team, gaining exposure to the rhythm of a large integrated account while helping to keep the detail, momentum and communication on track.
We will be looking for someone who:
Is positive, energetic and keen to get stuck in. We love the phrase ‘sponge mode’ for AEs which describes them being able to soak up experiences, knowledge, and lots of new things to develop a strong foundation which you’ll then build on as you progress in your career. You don’t necessarily have to have experience in the industry (although for one of the roles it will definitely help), as long as you have an understanding of the role an AE plays in a team and want to be part of a team who make work that the Agency and Clients can be proud of.
The key skills we’d like to see in the role include:
What can you expect from us?
At Grey, you’ll have the opportunity to work at an incredible studio, with some of the most creative and inspired people in the industry, all whilst getting to grow & shape your career with us. We offer a competitive salary, lots of training, plenty of benefits and wellbeing perks too.
Inclusion & Belonging
At Grey, we know that the more diverse the input, the more famous and effective the output. Different perspectives spark bigger ideas, braver creativity and better work - and that starts with how we welcome new talent. We embrace applications from people underrepresented in our industry and value the unique skills, experiences and viewpoints everyone brings. Our goal is simple: create a place where everyone can belong, and no one feels the need to hide any part of who they are.
That spirit runs through our application process too. If there’s anything - from neurodivergence, to a health condition, or any other circumstance - that might shape your experience, just let our People team know. We’ll work with you to make the adjustments you need to show your best, and we’ll treat whatever you share with respect.
