Job Description
Why you’d want to work here
- Work at a highly respected, integrated agency with a strong creative reputation
- Be part of a high-performing team that’s big on kindness, respect and “no ego” collaboration
- Performance bonus structure
- Real exposure to top-tier work and the chance to learn fast on a busy, exciting retail account
About our client
Our client is a mid-to-large, award-winning integrated agency with a warm, high-performance culture. They take their craft (and their client relationships) seriously — and they’re looking for an organised, proactive Account Executive to help deliver fast-moving, multi-channel campaigns for a major retail clothing brand.
What the job involves
- Supporting the Account team to deliver retail campaigns across print, digital and in-store channels
- Tracking briefs, timelines and deliverables to keep everything moving (and nothing slipping)
- Maintaining status documents, job bags and trackers across multiple concurrent campaigns
- Coordinating internal reviews, approvals and client feedback loops
- Taking meeting notes, compiling contact reports, and driving action lists through to completion
- Assisting with presentations and client-ready documentation
- Dispatching approved artwork to partners/stakeholders, with sharp version control and accuracy
- Building strong relationships with clients, suppliers and internal teams
- Escalating risks or delays to the Account Manager early (no surprises)
- Coordinating production and product workflows for campaigns and shoots
- Managing product samples: collection, tracking, returns and logistics between locations
- Organising product imagery and maintaining tidy, up-to-date asset libraries
- Supporting fittings and pre-production: look lists, readiness and sample coordination
- Providing on-set support when needed (keeping product accurate and organised)
- Helping improve workflows by bringing ideas, solutions and a “let’s figure it out” attitude
What you need to be considered
- 1–2+ years’ experience in an advertising agency or similar environment (retail is a big plus)
- Merchandising/buying experience would go a long way
- Strong admin, organisation and coordination skills (you’re the “details” person)
- Solid MS Office skills (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and confidence compiling presentations
- A working understanding of campaign production across print and digital
- Confident, clear communication — written and verbal
- Calm prioritisation skills in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
- Excellent attention to detail and accuracy (especially with versions, naming and approvals)
- A proactive, positive approach — eager to learn and willing to pitch in when it counts
Bonus points if you
- Have retail client experience
- Enjoy the pace of multi-channel, always-on work
- Love process, checklists, trackers and making things run smoother every week
