About Us
Help innovative companies communicate ideas that change the world.
At Salamandra.uk, we believe the world's most exciting innovations deserve to be understood. Many organisations can develop remarkable technology. Far fewer can explain it clearly enough for investors, procurement teams, partners, customers and the public to understand why it matters. That's where we come in.
We're an award-winning animation and design studio that helps organisations translate complex ideas into stories people can understand, believe in and act upon. Whether we're helping explain the future of aerospace, visualising next-generation space technologies, bringing advanced engineering to life or making SaaS and PharmaTech easier to understand, our work helps clients build confidence, create understanding and communicate with clarity.
About the Role
We're looking for an Account Manager who enjoys making things happen. Someone who loves building relationships, keeping projects moving, spotting opportunities and making sure every client feels looked after from first conversation to final delivery.
What you'll be doing
Building relationships that last
- You'll become the day-to-day contact for a portfolio of clients, building trusted relationships and ensuring every interaction reflects the quality and professionalism Salamandra.uk is known for.
- You'll understand what our clients are trying to achieve, anticipate their needs and make sure they always feel informed, supported and valued.
- Because great client relationships are built through great communication and consistently delivering on promises.
Making brilliant work happen
- You'll work closely with our creative, animation and production teams to ensure projects are delivered:
- On time
- On budget
- Within scope
- To the exceptional standard our clients expect
- You'll keep everyone aligned, manage timelines, chase actions, organise meetings, solve problems and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
- You're someone who enjoys bringing order to busy projects and keeping momentum going.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Helping clients grow with us
- As you build relationships, you'll naturally spot opportunities where Salamandra.uk can provide additional support.
- Whether that's another animation, design project, conference visuals or a new campaign, you'll help clients discover ways we can continue adding value.
- We don't believe in hard selling, we believe in doing great work that makes clients want to come back.
Supporting business development
- You'll work closely with our Founder & CEO to help turn opportunities into clients.
- That means helping prepare proposals, presentations, research, follow-ups and pitch materials, as well as identifying new organisations that could benefit from what we do.
- You'll attend networking events, exhibitions and conferences, helping represent Salamandra.uk and building relationships that support our continued growth.
Supporting our marketing
- You'll contribute ideas and content for LinkedIn and other marketing activity, helping celebrate our projects, our clients and our team's achievements.
