Senior Account Executive

TEAM – Creative Marketing

LOCATION – UK London (hybrid)

Role

We are looking for an adaptable and hardworking Senior Account Executive (SAE) who will work under close supervision of senior colleagues to support in the delivery of healthcare communications programs.  As a SAE you will be working on fast-paced, science-driven accounts with a collaborative team. You will be able to demonstrate sound consultancy skills and have the ability to manage competing priorities, whilst contributing to internal projects.

Creative Marketing at AXON is all about doing the right thing. We believe that’s about honest consultation with clients, so we act in their interests but not always according to their brief. Insightful consideration to unlock more value. And pushing creativity upstream to give it more clout. All this gives us confidence in what we deliver and builds confidence in us.

 Creative Marketing is the newest practice in AXON, so we have the rare opportunity to build and shape the practice just the way we want to. We’re looking for a likeminded Senior Account Executive who is set up for the challenge and genuinely interested in the experience of building our practice and with the support of their team driving their client accounts and projects. Joining the Creative Marketing team at AXON will give team members at all levels opportunities they may not experience in your mainstream healthcare marketing agency – including opportunities to work with practices outside of creative marketing, working on Global/European accounts and internal responsibilities that help shape the direction of our practice. If you’re an ambitious Senior Account Executive looking for a new opportunity or an Account Executive looking to push yourself and your career to that next step, we would love to hear from you.

Your responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Champions creative think and the value of creativity within the day-to-day account management

We have a keen focus on training and development and, as a rough guide, suggest employees aim to complete 37.5 hours of learning a year through online learning, classroom training, or attending external events; that’s 1 week a year dedicated to your development.
