Account Manager / Senior Account Manager
Are you looking for the opportunity to build meaningful partnerships with world-leading scientific companies, helping them achieve their marketing ambitions through strategic guidance and exceptional service delivery? We’re strengthening our client services team with an Account Manager who will be the trusted partner our clients rely on to bring their marketing visions to life. You will work at the intersection of client relationships and agency expertise, ensuring seamless collaboration and outstanding results. This is a great opportunity to do work that is both rewarding and really makes a difference!
At Notch, we bring science and creativity together. From our home in central Manchester’s Bond building, a Grade II listed space redesigned for collaboration, our teams of strategists, writers, creatives and account handlers work side by side to deliver work that makes a big impact for our clients in scientific industries and inspires audiences.
As an Account Manager, you will:
- Act as the primary point of contact for your client portfolio, building trusted relationships that drive retention and account growth
- Facilitate collaboration across content, creative, digital and strategy teams to deliver integrated solutions on time and on budget
- Oversee end-to-end project delivery with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring quality deliverables while managing budgets, timelines and profitability
- Strengthen internal processes and team capabilities by sharing best practices, providing hands-on guidance to colleagues, and maintaining consistent standards across all work
- Contribute to new business opportunities and work closely with Account Directors to ensure strong commercial outcomes and strategic client partnerships
From an Account Manager we expect:
- You have a minimum of 3 years experience in account management or client services within a marketing or creative agency. For senior candidates, we’re looking for 6+ years of relevant experience. Experience working with scientific, healthcare, or B2B technology clients would be favourable
- Demonstrable ability to manage multiple client accounts simultaneously with a calm, solution-focused approach to competing priorities
- Strong project management and commercial acumen with hands-on experience managing budgets, coordinating cross-functional teams and demonstrating clear ROI
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills that enable you to build relationships and engage effectively with stakeholders from day-to-day contacts to C-suite level
- A proactive, consultative mindset that identifies growth opportunities, anticipates challenges, and positions the agency as a strategic partner rather than a vendor

We’ll invest in your growth through training, mentorship, conferences, and leadership development. And we’ll make sure you have balance, with wellness support, CSR opportunities, and plenty of fun at our social events. Benefits include:
