Whether it’s partnering with start-ups or world-leading brands, we thrive on solving tough challenges and pushing design in new directions.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Account/Project Manager to join our team. Reporting to the Business Director, you will play a key role in managing and growing client relationships across the studio, ensuring projects are delivered successfully while maintaining strong commercial performance.

This is an exciting opportunity for a confident, proactive account leader who enjoys building trusted partnerships, spotting opportunities for growth, and helping teams do their best work.

  • Manage multiple projects from initial brief through to completion, ensuring delivery on time, within scope, and within budget.
  • Act as the primary client contact for assigned accounts, building strong and lasting relationships.
  • Work closely with creative teams to develop commercially viable responses to client briefs.
  • Create clear, detailed proposals and scopes of work in collaboration with creative counterparts.
  • Monitor project health, revenue, and pipeline, providing regular updates to the Growth Director.
  • Identify opportunities to grow existing accounts and support new business activity.
  • Lead new business conversations, presentations, and responses to RFPs and RFQs alongside senior creative team members.
  • Take ownership of the financial performance of assigned accounts, including forecasting, budgeting, invoicing, and change control.
  • Work with the Resource Manager to ensure projects are appropriately staffed while maintaining healthy margins.
  • Ensure all project administration is completed to a high standard, including agendas, meeting notes, project plans, and purchase orders.
  • Support and mentor junior team members, contributing to their development and growth.
  • Play an active role in shaping and maintaining Map’s studio culture

Essential Skills & Experience

  • Proven experience in an Account Manager or Senior Account Manager role within a creative, design, branding, or agency environment.
  • Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously.
  • Excellent client relationship and stakeholder management skills.
  • Commercially minded with strong financial acumen and experience managing project budgets.
  • Experience working closely with creative teams and navigating creative processes.
  • Exceptional organisational skills and attention to detail.
  • Positive, proactive, and solution-oriented approach.
  • Comfortable working independently while collaborating effectively across teams.
  • Confidence in challenging assumptions, solving problems, and taking ownership of outcomes.
  • Strong communication and presentation skills.

If you're a commercially savvy relationship-builder who thrives in a creative environment and enjoys bringing people, ideas, and projects together, we'd love to hear from you.
