Account Manager

Date: November 2024 

Tenure: Fixed Term 6 month Contract 

Our mission

Action sports. Adventure travel. Outdoors. ACM is a fully integrated creative communications agency that represents the outdoor places we love. We’ve built our lives around a passion for getting out there, and both our professional and personal experiences in these cultures are at the core of the stories we tell. Stories told the right way – authentically – for innovative, technical, and heritage clients such as Arc’teryx, YETI, adidas, Danner, Db, Finisterre, and GORE-TEX.

The role

We’re searching for an Account Manager who loves action sports and the outdoors as much as we do.

This is an opportunity to work with ACM’s top-drawer clients, across social media, PR, and events. No surprise, then, that we’re after someone with a track record across all three of these disciplines. 

We also want ideas. Lots of them. You’ll be contributing to our creative process – which is central to everything we do – as well as managing the planning and delivery of campaigns, and compiling performance reports once they’re wrapped. There’s a lot of great stuff going on at all times, so it’s pretty important that you have multitasking experience, love managing fast-paced projects, and get a buzz from jumping from one campaign to another. 

You’ll be working on existing accounts as well as supporting new business, so a history of on-boarding new clients is a big bonus.

Why are we not publishing the salary with this role? 

We recognise that publishing salary bands is best practise for any company hoping to attract the best candidates, to promote a truly progressive culture, and to fulfil a genuine commitment to being an equal opportunity employer.
